The journey to escape Walled City 99 turns into an engrossing mystery that leaves a lasting impact.
But in the world of video games, felines have been criminally underrepresented. Projects starring cats are few and far between, and those games haven’t really stood out — until now.
Robots in “Stray” accept the cat as a matter of course, and they take the little creature in stride. The cat’s goal is to return to its friends, but it will have to venture through the dilapidated streets and apartment buildings of the seemingly deserted city. All that’s left are robots, which have sentience and act almost like people, and cute but voracious creatures called Zurks.
Traversal isn’t free and easy; instead, it’s built for a methodical approach that dovetails with the more cerebral gameplay. As the cat, players have to help the robots who have managed to build a semblance of society underground. They’ll uncover side quests such as finding sheet music for a guitarist or collecting flowers for a gardener. Those simple tasks reward the cat with badges that are displayed on the harness the cat wears.
Although it’s enjoyable to play as a stray, BlueTwelve endows the campaign with a sense of urgency as the cat and B-12 find a group of robot rebels called the Outsiders who tried to venture beyond the walls. The main missions involve this cadre and they feature heavier puzzle and action elements.
