Are you following the global indie scene? If so, you are probably aware that at the moment there are 2 major players in this field - Devolver Digital and Annapurna Interactive. The former has already released a game with a cat in the lead role - it's the pixelart platformer Gato Roboto and it's addictive as hell. The competitor decided to follow in competition's footsteps by announcing a game called Stray. Also in this work, we will play the role of a four-legged milk-drinker, but the creators decided to go all the way and set the action in a world that falls nothing short of cyberpunk. Should CD Projekt Red be afraid? Actually... I'd better not answer that right now.
Half joking, but the fact is that Stray attracted our attention and managed to do so without any actual gameplay footage. Although we have received a teaser in the form of an atmospheric story trailer, we still have no idea what exactly to expect from this title.
The available descriptions promise a lot - we rarely get a chance to control a cat freely, and in this case we will get to visit quite a futuristic metropolis inhabited by robots leading ordinary lives. Stray is also another proof that all it takes is a catchy idea to be quickly noticed by the players as a title worth following. And wiggle its way into our list of most anticipated launches apparently.
