An idea I recently had was, a game, basically the stray map, so the walled city, optionally open or closed, depending on preference, just open to explore, and Multiplayer, so you could for example just hang out with others, talk and listen to music in maybe the slums etc. i think it could be pretty cool for people like me who just love the style of the game but need something new. What do ya'll think?

I keep dying like 30 seconds in... I try zig zagging, etc... can't do it. Lol

Edit: omg nvm I just found out that i was not "running" through most of this game... I just got an xbox controller for the first time about an hour into the game (was using keyboard at first) and didn't know that I had to press RT button to run.... i should get a trophy for just walking through those sewers and escaping zurks all this time on walk mode... I feel stupid lol

I tried it 20+ times watched tutorial and literally can't get through

I play on pc and dont have a controller

Any tips or someone had the same issue?

My 5th platinum - well worth it!

I am genuinely curious if there has been any Plushies of the robots in the game the only one I was able to find is this one

The Dutch translation is terrible. It's clearly been translated by a machine and not by a person, and that's unfortunately very often the case in software translation these last years.

I had to switch to English because I couldn't stand the translation errors any more. A real shame. I prefer a game not to be translated at all if translating means it's done poorly like this.

Are the other translations bad as well?

Idk man what is it with this game but I played this game just twice, it just gets stuck in your mind. You know one feeling when we get when we complete a game/series/movie where we are stuck in the plot world but in this case it lasts so much longer. Just thinking about the play through it gives me crazy nostalgia vibes (it was raining irl when playing). Best game i played

Still my desktop wallpaper 4 years later.
One of my favourite areas of the game to explore.

Completed stray today on my Nintendo switch 2. Absolutely loved every second, was constantly excited to get back to playing, as a cat owner I think it’s easy to say this is the best cat game there ever has been.

It turns out there is a literary antecedent to Zurks.

In 1985 Haruki Murakami wrote a novel, Hard-Boiled Wonderland and The End of the World. The narrator is told of dangerous creatures that live under Tokyo called Murks:

”They live underground — in subways and sewers. They eat the city’s garbage and drink sewage. They have almost nothing to do with human beings, so hardly anybody knows they exist. They basically don’t do any harm to people, though if somebody happens to wander into the underground alone, they might capture him and eat him.”

Murakami says Murks would survive even a nuclear war. So maybe Murks evolved into Zurks somewhere along the way? 😃

I played stray again. The ending is so sad it makes this 43yo muscular man cry each time. It’s so good though!

You heard me.

I took a 2-week break from Stray and completely forgot the Defluxor existed.

I’m normally a keyboard and mouse player, but I was playing on a controller this time. Every time the Zurks piled on me, I was mashing B like a fucking caveman, gripping the controller so awkwardly it was practically slipping out of my hands.

And somehow, I made it through the Sewers like that.

Then the cinematic plays, I see the Defluxor, and suddenly:

"OH SHIT. THAT’S RIGHT. I HAD THE FUCKING UV THING."

I genuinely thought the Sewers were just supposed to be that brutal.

2 down 2 to go

I really miss playing Stray :( Do you think it's worth replaying it?

I recently found these screenshots on my PC as I was clearing out some old storage. I felt like there would be a few of you who would enjoy these....and a bonus picture of who was essentially my first child....and boy did she act like it, too.

When this game came out, I had just lost my cat of 13 years, Harley...and I missed her so much that I seriously would just leave this game on and cry myself to sleep. Through that, I discovered that the camera panes further out and around...so... I started to do it a lot more, because in a way it was like slowly letting go of Harley.

I really miss her. I can't wait to see her again. As you can tell by the photo, she was very laid back, and very much part of the family. She protected me when I was pregnant, and then protected my child as she slept after I gave birth.

Harley loved being a big sister, and she loved just being alive....This game really reminded me that the bond between a cat and a human is unlike any other. It is one of respect and love that has to go both ways, and when it does - there is nothing like it.

....and now I'm crying...

Anyway - enjoy!!

I am running the game on a decent rig but every time the game loads a new section it hitches and my fps goes to shit. Turning down the graphics does nothing so I suspect it has to do with how it renders it somehow. Other than that I have no frame rate issues. Anyone else have a similar problem? I’m already halfway done with the game. So at this point I can live with it worst case but idk how it’s optimized so poorly

Just finished playing this chill and lovely game 🐈

Need a sequel

Koda loves kitty!!

Hi! 👋
One question: Does this game go usually on sale? I want to buy it on my ps5. Should I wait? I never play it before, but it looks really good.
Thank you!

Essentially the title. And which console would you recommend?

I tortured him for a long time to get a good shot >:)
