guide for stray game

Stray is an incredibly short game by modern standards, with players typically able to complete everything that's on offer in around five or six hours. As such, players really don't need to rush things during their first playthrough, and doing so would be doing both themselves and the game's developers a massive disservice.

The neon-soaked cyberpunk world of Stray is wonderfully well-realized, with easter eggs and secrets hidden throughout every chapter. Players should therefore take the time to fully explore these excellent environments rather than rushing to the finish line. Besides, for completionists, there'll be plenty of time for that during their "I am Speed" trophy playthrough.
Track Down B-12's Memories


There are several collectible sets in Stray, including Badges, Energy Drink Cans, and pieces of Sheet Music. By far the most interesting, though, are B-12's memories, which can be triggered by reaching certain points in the story or by examining some of the glowing items that can be found throughout the game's 12 chapters.

Through these 27 B-12 memories, players can learn a lot more about both the friendly little companion character and the plague-ridden world in which the game takes place. Learning how B-12 came to be trapped inside the big computer that players stumble upon in Chapter 3 is incredibly interesting, as too are his motivations for helping the cute little kitty to reach the outside world.
Unleash Your Inner Cat


There are quite a few adorable cat-like actions that players can carry out in Stray. These include scratching at furniture, napping in unusual places, and nuzzling up against unsuspecting robots. However, the most primal of these is to Meow, which players can do simply by pressing the Circle button when using a PlayStation pad.

Though all of the aforementioned actions have trophies associated with them (two, in the case of scratching), Meowing can actually prove to be useful in-game. As well as distracting a robot in the slums so that she drops a can of paint, players can also Meow to distract enemies or lure them over to certain areas. Scratching can also come in handy, particularly during the final chapter of Stray.
