I'm surprised he still has his sense of smell after going through the slums and the sewers.

@@areasevenpro he probably realised that

Cats do that just because. Clearly you've never owned one 🤣

Fr, math has only ever brought me suffering 💀

idk I still hate maths, it sucks

@@trustyrusty6969 its not maths that sucks, it the school that can't teach properly

@@kirillheroes98 I highly agree with you and slightly disagree, while there are few casual schools who teach maths poorly, it's also maths which is very complicated, as we get promoted to next grade levels, it just becomes difficult, like if ur grade 7, it's tough and in grade 8 it's double than previous and grade 9 it's going to be rocket science maths

@@trustyrusty6969 the problem with math is that schools teach the fundamentals wrong. from day 1 on. math isn't something you can "understand" like a word. math is purely knowledge based and it doens't matter if you understand your knowledge or not. you just have to know how and when to use what you know. it will always be right if you use the right formula in the right situation. there is no x is all of a sudden not 3 but 5. all you have to know about math is what the variables are and where you get the value of these variables including what formula gets used to get the searched value with the given varibales. you don't have to "understand" or even know WHY it works. you just have to accept that it is that way. the WHY in maths is only teached when you do math classes in the university. there are many things most people have no clue about that you can do in maths or that it is even part of maths like group theory or in a sense even parts of programming. the thing that makes math so hard in school in grade 9 is that that is the point where you have to know everything you learned once in the years before and uses that knowledge as foundation for the harder stuff, but because school has it's tests and a really bad way of taking notes in notebooks it is normal for a student to forget the last subject within the week after the test about it because you never use the same formulas again until much much later. the diffrentz between a math "genius" that can calculate big numbers in a second and a "normal" student who can't even calculate the small multiplication table fast, is that the "genius" has memorized the big multiplication table (until 100*100) by heard and knows about small algorithm that allows him to break down big calculations into small basic calculations in his head and recall the answer to the small calculation and then he works his way up until he recalls the last answer he needs and then he has the answer to the equation. in china there are maths competitions where a few students stand on a stage and get told 100 3 digit numbers and they have to add them up in the head. the numbers get called out each second and won't be repeated. the one who get's it right or is the closest wins. and there are always some that get it right. something like that is unthinkable in western schools because we don't memorize the basics of maths to that degree and don't learn to train our mind to be able to use the short term memory that effective and in such a way.

ikr

One of my favorite parts of stray is how the game had the perfect amount of stuff, Nothing left out and no extra padding simply everything that was needed for a great game.

Any follow up? Did you ever recommend this and/or did they ever play it? Would love to hear more.

Oh good point! I'd forgotten about that.

Yeah but in the game there are dozens of doors that say the same thing, it's just a texture that the game devs used again and again to save time

@@therealwisemysticaltree and there are 8 control rooms

@@jamesherald5389 but i don't think there's one in the sewers which is where one of the doors is

If the cat was smart enough to figure out how to open the city, it would have found its way home regardless. Cats have a built-in homing beacon and have been known to travel anywhere from 0.2 miles to as much as 80 miles to return to their home territory. Cats are notorious for returning to their old homes and trying to take up residence with the new occupants. So, guaranteed the cat would have made it home.

Doubt a cat would forget his friend? If hes really gone...we wont hint at the cat's hunt for STRAY 2. **SAID NO DEVELOPER EVER**

I don't think I've seen a movie or game with more pull, than hearing those meows as you limp away to the nearby light, followed by the title "Dead City".

@@purplemnkydshwshr Yes, as a cat lover, whose beloved fuzzy friend lost his life on November 14th of last year, this was hitting me hard. I am only playing few games these days anymore, because only few kinds of content interest me - but as I randomly saw this game in a recent episode of Boundary Break, it was enough for me to buy and and despite being short, I was very pleased with what I got. Hopefully they'll make DLC or a whole sequel/prequel. But since it was very successful, I think we can hope they do. And it would be nice, if that game would integrate the cat buddies more. Imagine scenes, where you need to evade the zurks, and you partially need to fight them, when they catch a buddy and you need to act quickly so that he doesn't die. Integrate a permadeath system (for the party) and that game would make me emotional no game before. When you fail to protect a friend and he will be gone for the reast of the playthrough, potentially adding various endings for which of your buddies makes it through the game with you. So many possibilities. Those ideas make me shiver in excitement for what could come.

The echoing meows of his buddys calling for him gets me every. Single. Time.

@@Hammerite Absolutely. Best animal emotions ever. Now try to imagine it from their perspective, their friend just gone and they hear his low and injured meows from a point far below, out of reach. As someone, who lost his cat, when it was also meowing in agony and fear, this touches me deeply.

@@marcfuchs6938 I’m so sorry for your loss. I understand how much this hurts. God bless.❤

So did I. Mine was 12. It's tough but it made me love this game even more than I already would have.

10 years…too soon. I’m so sorry.

Sorry to hear about your cat.

@@eliclark8750 18 years old is a long life for a cat isn’t it?

@@Alexander_l322 it is yea

Orange tabbies are female only ~20% of the time. Just like calicos are nearly always female, orange tabbies are almost as frequently male.

@shadowboy813 ok? female tabbies still exist? I don't want to argue about the fictional cat's gender but found it weird that you felt the need to point that out lol

​​@@orangehi2323no, it's not weird at all. It IS truth. The fact the devs chose an orange tabby cat means it is a male cat just on the sole fact that most orange cats ARE male. I have have 3 orange cats, ALL MALE. I'm passed off because you called somebody weird for pointing out a fact. You are a stuck up, a-hole.

@@orangehi2323 How is it weird to see someone referring to an orange tabby using she/her and use that as an opportunity to point out a fun fact? Like I understand that they were implying that the cat is probably male, given the fur pattern and no other info, but they weren't saying that the cat is male, just that is the greater possibility, there's nothing you could debate, because the only statement they made was a single fact.

@@orangehi2323 It's the original commenter who assumed that the cat from Stray is female for no reason

When you move it's recommended to keep the cat inside for like 6 weeks to get them familiar with the new place. After I moved my cat slipped out in the early afternoon on like day 10~12. Didn't see her the rest of the afternoon. But right during dinner time, there she was again. Despite the environment and layout outside being completely unfamiliar to her.

Not my little idiot though, she slipped as we were about to move and I was freaking out for a whole day until I heard some cats outside my window, I went to check and there she was surrounded by other cats probably telling her to go home

It's almost like they designed a game world

Obviously they know. They probably have a map of the entire place because that's how game worlds are made

It’s really sweet they went with it instead of inter-splicing something compositionally appealing in place of what was really probable ❤

@@Ewokpilot65r/woosh

or it might be just a reused assets

Bruh

@@fajaradi1223 No the blue butterfly definitely has a stronger connection. Sure, it might be a reused asset, but we're thinking of the actual story and not dev nerding. And in games, especially stories, or folklore, blue butterflies are viewed as a sign of wishes being granted, joy, luck or even a person's essence/soul viewed in the past/present or future. A blue butterfly in games tend to have a meaning when in full detail. Look at life is strange, or even metroid dread. Blue butterflies leading the way or showing the future, or even to give you a sign of the past is extremely important.

And plus they wouldn’t just add a butterfly specifically two cutscenes with no reason. If they where more around i may agree with the other commenter, that it was a way to make ambience and so randomized.

@@fajaradi1223 no way. its definitely subtle hint for people who are observant enough. The devs know what they doing and put every little detail possible. The dev gonna be like "oh yeah lets put this butterfly here that looks like at the start of the game so people gonna discuss about it!" it keeps the game talked for long even after its completed. Keeps making people interested to it and people gonna keep making content for it to uncover its secrets.

Exactly the same as me 😄

Why? I just finished it. Did I miss something? 😅

I come back every now and again to rewatch this video for this exact reason. It gives me the closure I needed.

Thank you for your input.

Being fair, I don't think the cat actually understands what happened... Only thing he can process is that its friend who helped it has died... I think that is the saddest part of the game, the Cat saved a city and its people and it doesn't know it, only thing it knows is that it has to keep going, trying to find home again... Anyway, I wouldn't say that his adventure will be forgotten; pretty sure the robots will always remember the epic story of the Little Outsider who brought back the sun to their lives.

@@KRN02_92 well B-12 does translate what the robots are saying for Stray, either vocally or telepathically, so he acknowledges that Stray does have an exceptionally high level of understanding and intelligence. There's also the puzzles Stray has to complete along the way which would be much too difficult for cats from our world to do, and all the mini side quests he does which don't necessarily help us find a way out but do have a positive impact on the world around us. I think cats might've either developed a high level of intelligence through evolution, or through humans selectively breeding them. B-12 also says the pack Stray wears was designed for quadrupeds, so it's possible that cats were often used to help around the city. That might explain the bucket ziplines, which could've been installed to help them get to hard-to-reach places

@@_ra1n hard to say, I agree that the Cat is smarter than a real cat but we really can't say if this is actually the cat's intelligence or just our input as players. In the beginning all the kitties act normal and the cat couldnt even see that the pipe was breaking under their weight. It is possible that B12 was able to transmit insructions to the cat in a basic language... Also, remember that the robots had no idea what the cats is, pretty sure they never have seen an animal... And about the buckets, they are just a game mechanic that doesn't make sense like Castlevania's candles

@@KRN02_92 I like to think of it the other way round-the player's actions are the cat's, because while playing the game we _are_ the cat (or any character we play in games). Both points of view are valid though. Some robots did seem to know what a cat is while others didn't, which I think might either be due being old enough to remember when they were still around, or having more access to resources and information. As for the opening cutscene when they were all playing around, no matter how intelligent they are, cats will be cats. I think our cat either didn't spot that the pipe was bending and was too distracted by adventuring with his friends, or thought it could still take a little more weight and decided to chance it. Heck I barely noticed it was loose, and I'm human. Maybe that cat's smarter than me haha. Either way I'm not saying the cat's a genius by our standards, just that he's intelligent enough to understand the impact of his actions, and just how much he helped everyone that day. Even if it's only to leave me feeling a little happier

@Arda It's ok if u named it and that's a cool name.

@Kagereneko thats a beautiful tribute, im sorry for Hyuga

I named it balushai ( its an indian sweet dish ).

After Momo calls you Little Outsider I just started referring to him as Outsider.

@@MuffinHunterX When you played Dishonored, I'm not sure you want to name your car The Outsider. XD In french most people call him Poti Chat That's "Lil' cat" ^^

That (and the cat not being able to wear a poncho) was my only complaints about the game. We're led here for the entire game and it just ends practically as soon as the door opens.

They could call it “Strays”

Yeah since there's cats there must obviously be other animals, a sequel where you could switch between them would be amazing

I was hoping maybe if we had a second game, maybe it could be about finding the other cities because the control room says "walled city 99". Or exploring the rest of this one and finding possible survivors.

BTW, Clementine is seen at the end when the city opens, as she is alive and the sentinels drop to the ground. So she will likely be able to visit the outside she wanted to see. :)

@@coleiche yayy all my homies love clementine

This is such a sweet comment! I can imagine how distressing the ending could be for a child- I’m almost 30 and I’m clearly desperately searching for proof that Stray found his family.

@@idiot5637 well, key word is "almost". male cats do tend to wander away from groups and become nomads, finding unrelated females to then mate with. females, on the other hand, are more likely to stick together. our stray could be an unusual female ginger tabby, sticking together with her family! but thats digging it a bit too deep, and honestly i agree w u that the devs probably intended for her to be a he

@@veloxfurem It's a he. It was confirmed when with the release of the game (not that I really care which gender the cat is). He was also given a name by the devs.

@@Absoluuttinen_Totuus o shoot, whats the name???

His name is Murtaugh

@@terrencevoltaris4271 Murtagh is the name of one of the Dev's real life cats that inspired the Stray protag. He is not everyone's favorite cat himself, but he is the direct inspiration since he was also found as a stray and his colors were meshed to the protag's model. I do believe it was confirmed that the protag was a tom cat as well, or at the very least, the Devs like referring to him as male. There is also Stray's lovely cat voice actress, Lala, and his movement and body model, Oscar, a sphinx kitty! If you watch Stray closely, you can see the Sphinx body in the movements and models.

There's alot of little nuggets all through that game. On one of the walls in the slums is a quote about Robots being slaves, but for the past 25 odd Billion days (i'm not writing the numbers) they've had souls" that would put the game almost 7 million yeas after the Companions were made, which is astounding that the doors even opened.

Yes, I saw the screens turn on and if nothing else is like one of those horror movie teasers for a sequel or something.

honestly if they made 98 other sequels for each of the other potential walled cities I'd happily buy and play every single one of them like 3 times lol

single player stories like these very rarely get dlc, but that's not to say that i wouldn't be willing to pay for one

What if they did like the day everyone moved underground stuff, going back in time and Stray gets left behind and has to escape it's home and meets it's cat friends, etc, etc seeing the world is empty.

@@canislatransityeah definitely especially if all the games are made as well as this, I don’t care how much it would cost

@@johnathonfrancisco8112 one word. Portal.

enjoy your sleep! 😆

Update?

that would be such a cool project!!

Add to that the amazing direction sense any cat has and (if he exits so near their usual spot) his noose and smell sense will send him pretty fast on track toward his beloved companions...

Bro we should have a final fantasy 12 type of open world for stray 2 😮

it is actually great to see that the devvelopers though of this considering i spen almsot 10h for this game - just exploring a freaing what now 500m circle is insane

Yeah

If you finished it in an hour you didn't win the Productive Day trophy, which itself takes an hour of sleeping to achieve! You should go back and start again. You don't have to do it in one go. You can accumulate sleep time while Morusque plays his guitar, or next to the dozing stargazer on the rooftop, or on one of the shelves in Doc's library. The cat looks its most adorable when sleeping.

@@johnm2012 I acutally did that in my first playthrough! I made sure to get all of that stuff out of the way because I knew I wasn't going to finish the speed run lol The only downside is that I did it before giving Morusque any music, so there weren't any cool tunes :( I wish I had explored a bit before doing it because there's so many cute spots.

an hour???? omg i must be bad at gaming it took me like 9-12 hours i think.

@@Solarstormflare Good or bad doesn't matter. The question is, did you enjoy it?

@@Solarstormflare you're good at enjoying the game. there's a lot to explore and enjoy in it that takes way more than an hour.
