Imagine walking through the streets of a cyberpunk city where there are no humans, and you are a cat. That is what the latest adventure game named "Stray" lets you experience.

People who played the game can't get over it. Pets are lovin' it too!

The future part-adventure, part-platformer game allows you to explore a neon-soaked world wherein humanoid machines inhabit. And since the protagonist is a cat, everything looks like a ginormous jungle gym.

According to IGN, the developers did an excellent job pushing the silent protagonist concept to a whole new level. They were also successful at combining a compelling story with exciting action.

Among its charming features is you live your life as a cat. You sleep, meow, drink from a puddle of water, topple down stuff, and all the other things felines do.

Another feature that shines in the game is the atmosphere of the locations you'll visit as a feline hoping to reunite with his friends. While you can finish the game in about five hours, it makes up for the richness in worldbuilding and lore.

With a beautiful concept, high-end graphics, and cat protagonist, how can you not be excited about it? It's surely a treat for cat lovers who are also gamers.

Below are some of the reactions of people toward the game.

If Stray were a game from 2004.

Stray also depicts the authentic behaviors of a cat.

According to the folks at BlueTwelve Studio, their goal was to make a one-of-a-kind experience while playing as a cat. They were inspired by their pet felines named Murtaugh and Riggs. Since the team is made up of mostly cat owners, they were able to provide first-hand input.

With their playful (and sometimes annoying) felines, the studio was able to come up with a wealth of gameplay ideas.
