Stray

International Cat Day has recently passed and to celebrate the Pixelated Playgrounds crew leapt at the opportunity to play the cat game that everyone is talking about: Stray! This game is getting a lot of attention, so much so that we even had friends reaching out to see if we’d be playing it. Developed by BlueTwelve Studio and published by Annapurna Interactive the game poses several interesting questions that the crew endeavors to answer: Will we reunite our cat with his family? What happened to all of the humans? Why are those robots wearing hats? And most pressingly: Is this a great cat game, or just a great game in general? (Spoilers: its a great game no matter how you frame it). The evocative cyberpunk aesthetic and stunning original soundtrack by Yann Van Der Cruyssen will keep you lapping up the entire experience. So listen in for the opinions of a cat lover, a cat tolerator, and a cat avoider (guess who is who), as we break down the indie sensation, Stray.
