Lets be honest now

[Tiger]

Is this just a walking simulator neatly packaged into cute cat and recently trending "cyberpunk" genre?

[Perberos]

I will be honest with you, I will always give offerings to the child of the sun gods. Specially Bastet!

I'll be honest, my secretly pre-order it cos the main protagonist is and she DON'T CARE what this game is about.

[Hermano]

[Angel]

I'll be honest, don't think it is, and even if it was I don't mind because you get to walk / run as a super cute ginger kitty

[Tentacle of Ozric]

Probably, yes. I do not usually preorder, but it's -10% now, so...

[Cutlass Jack]

Its a cat simulator packaged with cute walks.

No. It is not. It is a platformer :papyrus:

Platformer implies some kind of skill-based movement. Based on what we've seen, jumping in Stray involves you moving into an area that has a "jump" trigger placed by the level designer and pushing a gamepad button to engage a scripted sequence. Probably no way to fail the jump even, although if you have to hold the button during the animation to make it, it's still a kind of QTE instead of proper movement system.

An actual platformer would have you judging your approach speed/direction and timing the button push. The "jump" mechanic from Stray is something used to activate levers and open doors in other games.

Please point me towards the exact trailer and give me a timestamp, if possible. I only saw what I described

exactly!! lol i just preordered cause its a cat game and it looks like a cool environment to play around in lol

[Kenshiro]

It could simply be an adventure game without it being a "walking simulator". Choices, puzzles, exploration, and sometimes action sequences, they could all be there without requiring much, if at all, platforming skills.

[Pan Darius Cassandra]

And your point is?

[Deri]

I thought this game was about a dog. I messed up.

[GMRKR]

Whatever is it..
I will not regret buying this poor stray cat..

[Hawkeye_181]
