This week, we take a look at the 2022 video game by BlueTwelve Studio and Annapurna Interactive, Stray! We'll talk about cats with personality, robots with even more, and that most rare of post-apocalypses: the post-human world. We'll ponder the logic of a domed city, and wonder where this game might go if a sequel were to happen. And did I mention cats?? (For the cat lovers in the crowd, of course.) Join me there, at the end of the world!
First musical clip from "Ballad of the Lonely Robot", by Masters of Sound, featured in the game.
Second musical clip from "Daybreak", by Yann Van Der Cruyssen, featured in the game. All tracks available on Spotify.
Stray is available on PC via Steam; on Playstation 4 and Playstation 5; on XBox Series X/S; and on Nintendo Switch.
