PlayStation 5 has a real awesome treat for you. The company revealed the launch of a new adventure video game called “Stray” developed by Blue Twelve Studio.
The game will let you play as a stray cat lost in a strange and decaying cybercity full of robots. “RIP Humans” spray paint in an alley implies that humans have gone extinct, and the kitty with a small backpack is in command of solving all the mysteries. The creative director Viv commented: “exploring the strange world we are building feels really fresh when you’re sneaking under a car, or walking the rooftops with the inhabitants below unaware of your presence.” Alternatively, “you can just meow endlessly to annoy them.”

The dystopian city is inspired by Kowloon Walled City, an ungoverned, highly populated settlement in Kowloon City, Hong Kong.
The creative director of Blue Twelve Studio recounted in a PlayStation blog that originally, the Kowloon Walled City kept coming up in the team’s proposals. After recognizing it was an ideal base for their universe, it came to them: “What a better playground than Kowloon for… a cat!”

After then, the challenge was to build a unique experience of playing as a cat. Blue Twelve Studio’s director, who worked closely with the studio’s co-founder Koola, said that they were motivated by their two cats, Murtaugh and Riggs. “Cats are always so playful, cute, and lovingly annoying that it’s an endless stream of gameplay ideas for us.”
“Stray” is still in development and will be released in 2021.
