Sharing about why Stray chose the central character to be a cat, producer Swann-Martin Raget said that this firstly depends on the context of the game.

The ruined city in Stray was originally inspired by Kowloon Zhaicheng, a lawless area, concentrated in crime, drugs, and prostitution of 20th century Hong Kong. But what is different is the “maze of darkness.” “This real life is inhabited by tens of thousands of people.

Meanwhile, the two founders of BlueTwelve think that this is a great playground for cats when there are many narrow paths and large views. But the most important reason is that BlueTwelve’s development team is a cat lover.

In fact, the original Stray protagonist is a feral cat adopted by the founders of BlueTwelve many years ago.

Not only game developers, even gamers can’t resist the attraction of these cats. Stray has reached the top of the most popular game on Steam with nearly 50,000 players and many positive reviews after only 2 days of launch. “If you want to be a cat, Stray is the perfect game for you,” a gamer shared.
