What to expect from Stray on PS5?
Stray is a single-player game that follows a lone cat separated from its family. The story takes place in a mysterious, decaying cybercity filled with neon-lit alleys, underground areas, and curious robotic inhabitants. Exploration and environmental interaction remain the game’s focus rather than combat.
The game asks players to experience the world from the cat’s perspective. It lets them explore various environments, hop across rooftops, and squeeze through narrow spaces using stealth and agility. They can also interact with objects in playful ways like knocking items off ledges or scratching surfaces. However, the environments also have mysterious creatures and curious droids.
Along the way, the cat meets a small flying drone named B-12. The two become friends and work together to uncover the city’s secrets and find a way out. B-12 also helps the agile feline communicate with the robotic residents.
The game’s success has also led to a feature-length film adaptation in development at Annapurna Animation. Nick Bruno, known for directing Nimona, is reportedly attached to direct. However, no release date has been announced.
As for the game, the 50% discount gives players who missed it at launch another chance to experience this acclaimed, story-driven adventure with an unconventional protagonist.
