STRAY

(I'm crying in the club over what was meant to be a cute cat game)

Out of all the cat things that have happened in the intro to Stray, I think the most cat like is how as soon as the harness is put on you flop over on your side boneless, like 'this is it, this is the end.' 🤣💀🐈

Robos, with computers for brains: "only you can go and fight the zurks and install this new fuse into the generator"

Me, a literal cat: "Mrow?"

this game grabbed me by the throat and said YOU ARE A CAT PERSON NOW

Stray didn’t have to be a visual masterpiece with really well written philosophical commentary on humanity and our own destruction and obsession with class division it could have just been a cute cat game but they did that 10/10

sobbing over the humanity of the robots in Stray. they listen to music. they play dungeons & dragons. they have barber shops and bars and play the guitar and write poetry. they get heart eyes when a cat purrs against their legs. there are robot children! robot grandparents! they like comfy pillows and candles and warm blankets and they grow plants in a city that has never seen sunlight! they’re human and they’re not and there’s no humans left and they’re alive. ahhhhhhh

Stray 10/10 game

ok but in stray when you first get your backpack, the cat walks funny with its back all low to the ground, and keeps flopping over.. like, that is exactly how a cat would act if you suddenly put a backpack on them
