A mechanically simple adventure game with lots of love put into the animation and animation-transitions of the cat. However, if you're here for JUST the cat, prepare to put up with a by-the-numbers sci-fi escape story. I love that the camera held low the entire time, made the environments more interesting. My favorite parts of the game were the open town segments, in which the player can explore nonlinearly and discover things at their own pace. I don't see myself replaying this in the future.

This isn't Stray's fault, but "innovative gameplay" my ass. The gameplay is the least innovative part of the game. I can't wait to play more cat games in the future that are more mechanically involved.
