Stray Review: A Cute Kitty in a Beautiful, Dystopian City
It’s often hard to tell if a game starring an animal will be more than shallow bait for memes.had charm, but was often frustrating and got increasingly more tedious as it dragged on.was a decent pun that should have stayed just a pun. So it was unclear if BlueTwelve Studio’s cat-led platformerwould suffer the same fate and be more fun to joke about than to play.
Moving around as a little cat in a big world is unique and its densely packed environments are often quite vertical. BlueTwelve uses verticality to make its levels feel bigger, but also fittingly uses that to make players curious about what could be up that high.
Creating a story around these cat-like behaviors is a tough task since cats don’t speak or have complex motivations; two aspects that stories often have to utilize in one way or another. Meowing and scratching couches aren’t exactly big verbs that would organically push its missions forward, either. But BlueTwelve designedin a way where it moves along using its typical array of cat mechanics without breaking its own rules.
B12 and the main feline do form somewhat of a bond, but, after getting over the central conceit that a cat would want to do anything aside from licking itself and eating, the story, setting, and themes are the more compelling parts of the narrative. The premise is inherently wrapped in secrecy since players are inhabiting the role of an animal that is also clueless as to what caused the world to fall.
