A short atmospheric game with a great viewpoint (that of a cat).
Stray is great at what it does even if it doesn't do anything revolutionary. It is a safe enjoyment and the developers use the strength of this sort of game (basic gameplay and minor interactivity) to focus more on other aspects to make one think they are doing more than pressing "wasd and space bar".
The sound design, music, character noises, combat noises. These all give the illusion of a more alive and active world that interacts with the player and their actions, when they are just highly scripted moments.
Overall, this game is sold. The game may be too expensive for those on a budget and wish for a more meaty buy with their money. This game should be a #1 on ppl's sales wishlist.
3/5
