Stray’s protagonist has a stray cat, and this choice undoubtedly contributed to increasing the game’s promotional opportunities in a social world that constantly shares content related to our four-legged friends. Well, the developers wanted to fully embrace this decision and tried to show the behavior of the little cats on the screen as precisely as possible.
In short, Full of goodies for stray cat lovers And we’ve decided to cover them in one article, because maybe you missed some or you haven’t bought the game yet, but this discovery could be another curiosity for the BlueTwelve Studio title. We know that curiosity is also a characteristic of cats…
Sit low!
Good starters have already done half the job: Stray’s writers clearly know in the corresponding French version of this old adage, given that they stage love sequences in the opening minutes of the campaign. friction and the cats belonging to the colony from which the protagonist came, which one day fell into a sewer and then found itself wandering through the mysterious Dead City, as we noted in Stray’s review.
At this point, the character is lured by a series of illuminated beacons calling for his help and arrives at the building where the B-12 drone, an android equipped with a sophisticated artificial intelligence, will accompany him throughout the adventure. B-12 appears on the cat’s back to be carried around. apron equipped with a backpack, and at this point the cat behaves exactly as we would expect: sit low and walks in a funny way until he gets used to his contact with the object.
get your nails done
Stray’s feline hero has the ability to meow well, indeed it does so with an impressive number of different tones, so much so that the developers have even included a linked Mug with this app. However, there is another behavior that immediately catches the player’s attention: get your nails done on various surfaces.
Natural behavior for felines, but also a source of anger and despair for those with decent furniture, this practice adaptive triggers Features of the DualSense controller, which applies variable resistance and thus simulates friction with the materials we are scratching, whether it’s a sofa or a carpet.
passion cardboard boxes
Another well-known attitude of cats is to enter any cat. box cartons at hand and then lean in and enjoy some relaxation. It is not clear why this instinct originates, perhaps it is simply connected with the feeling of being covered from all sides and therefore protected from any danger, the fact is that even on Stray this application is used for gaming purposes.
Actually, dealing with arrays would be hidden where you need to hide from the sensors of security drones, quickly traverse part of the scenario before the light beams hit us, or take advantage of objects behind or inside to hide, such as cardboard boxes. After all, we said before: if it works on Metal Gear Solid, why not on Stray?
Nap time
As you know, the PS5 version of Stray makes quite creative use of DualSense’s unique abilities, but the culmination can be appreciated when the feline hero of the adventure crouches in a suitable place to have an adventure. shortcutwhether it’s a sofa, rug, cushion or shelf. Well, in this case the controller… pur.
Using a mix haptic feedback and the built-in speaker, DualSense, simulates the behavior of cats when they sleep “snoring”, making it so realistic and believable that your pet may think you’re welcoming another stray dog without saying anything to him. Watch out for outbursts of jealousy!
Paper bags, balls and books
Some of the goodies found in Stray are used in the game, others are beautiful but end in themselves and we have a few interesting examples. First, the cat is a paper bag and puts it on his head, staying “blind” for a few seconds until the point of reversing the controls to simulate that the character can’t see where he’s going.
However, there are other easter eggs as well, for example balls It’s often used to leave treats at snack time in case our cat is a little lazy or little cats jump on something and drop them: in the title of BlueTwelve Studio your bookbut it also left the two contestants to despair and cursing with paint cans and even board game tiles.
