They didn't need to. Sean was right. The entire development team have cats. It is in the end credits. There were also four dogs. I wonder if we'll ever get a doggo game like this.
My favorite part of this is that it isn't crazy where the robots hate humans and killed them off, but instead think of them as their ancestors and miss them so much that they imitated their actions and how they behave.

I love how everyone’s reactions to the cat falling is the same, at least from what I’ve seen. They all scream out for the cat and say no. Even I did and I don’t have a cat
This game is wild. It was ridiculously popular for exactly a week and then fell off the face of the earth. I have not heard anybody say anything about stray since its month of release.
Probably because it's not that long or intensive a game, so most people just played the whole thing within that week. After that, people still played it, but the hype was kind of over by then so it wasn't really talked about anymore. I played it last week. Still fun
It’s a good game just not AMAZING how some goofy ass people think ( mostly people that own cats ) and there’s so much better games out there that are way better and longer…. I personally loved it though, just wasn’t as long as I wished : ( (I own cats btw)
Stray actually did get a lot of awards and nominations, so I wouldn't say you didn't hear of it anymore. It's more like there weren't a lot of gameplays publicly because the game's not that long, so you couldn't really make it a long play series. Still, it doesn't mean that people weren't playing it a lot privately, if you know what I mean.
I like to think that Sean is actually the cat's thought process, so when he says stuff like "get off me, ya freaks" or "God, I'm smart" it's the cat's inner monologue.
@nieooj gotoy I’ll make your day even better they didn’t just watch cat videos they had a lot of cats in the studio at all times. They even gave them recognition in the credits :)
Technically in the lore (god I sound like matpat) the humans used those pods that B12 used when they were a scientist to turn into robots and live forever. At least I think they did, if anyone wants to correct me they can.
Fun Fact: When developing this game, they would put motion capture suits on cats, let them do their cat thing, and record their movements to use in the game. I thought that was pretty cool that they use that much attention to details😁
What I find interesting about cats is that I've heard that they would naturally only meow in their kitten stage to alert their mom, but over the centuries cats have learned to meow to us humans since they've learned that this gains our attention, even though they are adults or elders.
I also heard they modulate their meowing to try to find what will get your attention the fastest, and what the cats find is that a cry similar to a human baby gets peoples' attention VERY quickly. So, if your cats' yowls seem perfectly targeted to get your attention and keep you from paying attention to anything else, well they are.
Also, adult cats mainly meow at humans, seldom to other cats, and another intriguing notion is that cats create a "special and unique cat language specific to their pet human."
If you've ever had cats that live outside, their meow dies over time because they don't really use it when they hunt. My parents' farm kitties for example, they don't meow very loud and it sounds more rigid as though they never use it. They're always able to hunt on their own by killing barn mice and don't really need humans. They only use it when they say hi to us. My cats at home however are pretty vocal and I think it's because in a way, they still live as though they're kittens because I am their mother and they depend on me to get them food vs my parents' farm cats who hunt and do their own thing most of the time. My girl kitty Evie meows very loudly and high pitched like a kitten compared to her brother who has more of an adult developed meow in a lower tone.
“It made my eyes all blurry” I feel like this is another attention to detail because outside cats tend to be farsighted, so anything up close becomes blurry
Not true, cats see pretty well even close distances, too close tho and it becomes blurry but that pretty much happens to every forward facing species sight.
I can sit through horror movies, watching humans get murdered, no problem. But if a cat or dog gets killed, the killer is absolutely reprehensible. No redemption is possible. (Referring to media, not irl obviously)
If I weren’t so freaking allergic I certainly would’ve. Unfortunately I’m severely allergic to cats, and also have the absolute worst case of hay fever ever. I hate the fall because that’s when everyone’s lawn dies and even dry lawns make my eyes water. It’s sad because the two animals I love the most are cats and horses. But being around either gives me such bad allergies.😢
Here's a fun little fact about this game, the creators of the game actually use the real cats in motion sensing to create the other cats you can find around the world
I'm amazed that Sean managed to even leave the first little area. I was melting under the critical levels of _cute_ from the moment the tabby started playing with the black cat's tail, because _really,_ how can you *_NOT?_*
I mean, can you blame him? I wouldn’t try either honestly. Somewhat surviving in a non-apocalyptic world, definitely not gonna survive in an apocalyptic world.
That why I don't believe anyone when they say they don't like cats. Give it time, they always will. Even when they say they don't, give it time, they always will.
The most accurate goddamn thing in the world: cat gets backpack/halter, cat's legs suddenly don't work. *looks meaningfully over to where Samara thinks she's dead because of her 'spacesuit'*
seeing the way the cat behaved when first putting on the backpack was incredible because that is EXACTLY how my cat acts when we put on his harness (he has a little harness with a leash so he can go outside)
Jack: “there’s too much to do and it’s frying my brain.” Proceeds to do the main quest before even talking to Momo and get almost all of the notebooks beforehand.
*accept Jesus Christ today, tomorrow may be too late* .... And this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent. {Holy Book of John.}
Try it with a cat being well into its adult years. We did it the gray tabby that owned us was 3 or 4 years old, I think. She would flop to her side and act like her legs were broken. Funny as hell to us humans but to her royal highness, she was plotting our demise.
Lol I thought I had a chance harness training my girl because she is so treat inclined and always wants to go outside, the idea that harness equals treats and access to outside just doesn't connect in her little kitty brain lmao can't even be mad tbh
@@latvia4205because it isn’t natural for them. They don’t enjoy it. It restrains their full free movement, so why even bother going outside. Even good dog owners should only have big dogs who desire to run freely, if they have a lot of property or can take them to places they can run off leash.
Okay but seriously- the attention to detail throughout this entire game is phenomenal. To think technology has gotten this advanced that I forgot this was just a video game for a second- thats crazy. Round of applause to everyone who worked on this game. Especially the scenery- it’s so beautiful. The dead city just blown me away, I love the si-fi in this.
You can totally tell that BB has Sean wrapped around his little toe beans, the way he cares so much for this cat in the game and how me mentions BB from time to time
Sean seems to keep forgetting that the cat he was playing as literally came from the 'outside'. That's literally why we want to go there, to take our kitty home to its family 😅
yes!! when he was like "i wonder what the outside looks like" i was like ummm... did you forget we started outside the walls and it was beautiful?? haha
Technically I don't think we were "outside". We were in the interior of the walls between the outside and the robot city. As to whether the cats actually had access to the outside, we don't know.
Bet ya knew this already Jack, but here's a random cat-fact anyway: Those little "Mrrps" the cat does is called "trilling", and the usually do it as a form of greeting, or an exclamation like "huh?" XD
*accept Jesus Christ today, tomorrow may be too late* .... And this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent. {Holy Book of John.}
Jack is the best person to play this game because he already acts like a cat. Dude gets told where to go and just decides to wander around for an hour instead, and interacts with literally everything possible. Perfect 👌
I love that they strayed from the typical “robot revolution apocalypse” trope by having the robots be a natural next step in evolution while respecting their ancestors, the humans EDIT: is it bad that i didn’t realize i made a “stray” pun until now 🙃
Fun fact: Cats domesticated themselves, unlike dogs which we chose to domesticate. Cats basically did what they always do and decided "I live here now, you will tolerate or love me" and we just let them since they were great vermin control. And here my eldest cat 20+ demands I sherpa her everywhere
Actually wolves also domesticated themselves. They got near our settlements because of the food we trew out and tolerated us more and more. That toleration is something we still see today, they take a lot from us!
"Dogs are the only animals domesticated by hunter-gatherers: all the others were domesticated after farming became widespread. One suggestion is that people domesticated dogs to help them with hunting, while another scenario has wolves scavenging human waste dumps and becoming accustomed to people." the world is not black and white , you are both correct .
It's more like we think we own and have domesticated the cat but in fact the cats own us and they have trained us to feed shelter and love them on occasion
@@nissy9220 My family is pretty strict about letting cats inside the house. I remember one cat that made us relax that rule through sheer and persistent emotional manipulation lol
Graphics, sound effects, and details are amazing and unlike most games when walking through grass you just go straight through it but in this game it actually makes the surroundings (like the grass) move asside
just in case it hasn't been mentioned yet: when you mentioned the cat standing in front of an ominous red door poster at 26:30 that is in fact the first teaser the studio dropped waaay back when they first started making this game!
fun fact, cats dont knock things over for fun- theyre trying to get your attention. they likely want something, or just want some time with you in general
They have no reason to view them as lesser, or like vain creatures. They don't know about all the prejudice surrounding cats. It makes the interactions very wholesome. ❤️
52:33 the cats vision gets blurry because cats actually can’t see things up close super well. Because their eyes are so large, it’s hard for them to focus on things up close like that. So that’s super cool that the game went that far into the characteristics and functions of cats.
@@smolselene9453 Well said, but did you hear that Wendy caught ligma from Deez while listening imagine dragons while Joe watched dzfatnos and ate sugma sause with bofa chicken while playing E10 with candice?
i love the detail that when there is a bag over your head the controls get inverted the best way to sell a detail in gaming is through gameplay so thats pretty cool
You have to "meow" at the robots, each one of them have different interactions when you meow at them, not really related to the objectives but it's cute.
@@janellysosa7590 yeah holy shit! Did not expect all of those likes. Perhaps it's just one of those things where people think "yeah, good comment" and don't feel the need to add anything.
omg I love it already. The main cat (MC still fits lol) already looks similar to my cat, but mine has a white belly and front paws. With an orange belt. Both are cute, but I obviously have a bias. :D
eyes don’t sparkle, humans don’t have bioluminescence edit: this is obviously a joke, and you are all dumb. Pretending to be a smartass that doesn’t understand metaphors and common sayings is the joke
It always cracks me up how people are like “ew, cats” and then they get a cat and fall in love with them. If you give a cat a lot of attention and love, especially when they’re little, they grow up to be very affectionate and sweet.
I'm glad Sean was as properly distraught as I was playing when the cat fell and was hurt. I think all of us can collectively agree that if anything happens to this cat we will lose our shit.
The bond between these developers, Jack, and all of us is delightful. I love how frequently there were opportunities for all those little responses (oh, big stretch etc) and all the small mannerisms that really sell the cat as a Cat.
It never occurred to me just how much like cats we gamers play games. We snoop into every little thing, let our curiosity get the better of us and explore and mess around with things like knocking things off surfaces or destroying things because we can. This game is the true embodiment of a video game.
@@ruthy08 it’s a bot that’s capitalising on the tragic death of a very young, well respected youtuber. Replying to bots makes them more active, i think.
@Sashi yeah I'd just ignore any comments that start with "I'm better than _____" because they're just bots 99% of the time. it's usually a comment about someone who's popular at the time, or the bots are trying to profit off misery/tragedy.
the thing i wana know is why is the cat so smart compared to normal cats. i mean it can understand or atleast read english. it knows that if you push on a plank it will fall a certain way so that the cat can pass over and last but not least it knows how batterys work. i mean this is some high level intelect for being a cat!
I'm fairly certain the group of cats are littermates. Basically what it sounds like; siblings from the same litter. They play and bond just like the ones you get separated from, which is why it can be beneficial to adopt a pair from the same litter so they always have each other in a new place. However the same can be said if they get separated and isolated; they get sad and lonely (hence why owners need to give them extra attention to fix that). So the goal to get the kitty back with his/her pals makes sense, as a littermate will likely go out of their way to get reunited if they are bonded well enough.
Sean at any other game: *humans die a terrible death* Ah, whatever. Sean when cat stumbles: NOOOO! That's it guys I'm not playing this, my heart will stop.
I can so much relate with Jack’s reaction when the poor cat fell. I knew that there was something that’ll go wrong, as soon as Jack made the cat leap to the creaking rusty pipe. To be honest though, I’d hope those fellow cats are doing alright without the main feline protagonist.
@@yoyIecookie besides the point where they will just keep coming backing because that's what the bot is designed to do. If you reply to it, it's just gonna keep plaguing the comment section.
And then being chased by the little robots he said they can't catch me and immediately then like 5 of them jumped on him. What a horrible timing he has, or self fulfilling prophecy all the way!
As a student studying animation and game design, its so cool seeing games like these and seeing what’s possible. It’s also so incredible hearing jack compliment the designers so much. Makes me so excited for the future :)
The thought of a whole team of 3d modellers just watching hours upon hours of cat videos to make the cats more realistic just makes my day

They mostly based the cats on the employees' cats, you can see their photos online! They're very cute
They didn't need to. Sean was right. The entire development team have cats. It is in the end credits. There were also four dogs. I wonder if we'll ever get a doggo game like this.

@@JR-kj2px so they didn’t watch cats… they played with cats?! That’s an upgrade

@@Idaastrand Yeah. I figure this infection thing may have started in the city and the dome was put up to keep it in rather than keep anything out.

Technically I don't think we were "outside". We were in the interior of the walls between the outside and the robot city. As to whether the cats actually had access to the outside, we don't know.

I love that they strayed from the typical “robot revolution apocalypse” trope by having the robots be a natural next step in evolution while respecting their ancestors, the humans
EDIT: is it bad that i didn’t realize i made a “stray” pun until now 🙃
Oh my god, I see what you did there you crafty bastard hahaha
The quiet at the end of the world
That was a nice touch indeed
*Strayed*
I don’t think it was a revolution though, if I’m correct the humans died off from a disease or whatever
Fun fact: Cats domesticated themselves, unlike dogs which we chose to domesticate. Cats basically did what they always do and decided "I live here now, you will tolerate or love me" and we just let them since they were great vermin control. And here my eldest cat 20+ demands I sherpa her everywhere
Actually wolves also domesticated themselves. They got near our settlements because of the food we trew out and tolerated us more and more. That toleration is something we still see today, they take a lot from us!
"Dogs are the only animals domesticated by hunter-gatherers: all the others were domesticated after farming became widespread. One suggestion is that people domesticated dogs to help them with hunting, while another scenario has wolves scavenging human waste dumps and becoming accustomed to people." the world is not black and white , you are both correct .
It's more like we think we own and have domesticated the cat but in fact the cats own us and they have trained us to feed shelter and love them on occasion
‘I live here now, you tolerate me’ well no, they just begged for food and stayed because they knew they’d get fed

My family is pretty strict about letting cats inside the house.

Graphics, sound effects, and details are amazing and unlike most games when walking through grass you just go straight through it but in this game it actually makes the surroundings (like the grass) move asside

Black cat poking the orange cat (the hero) typical of cat behavior. The outdoor cats that own my parents now act exactly like that. It's too cute!
I like that the robots treat the cat like one of them, it gives them more personality
They have no reason to view them as lesser, or like vain creatures. They don't know about all the prejudice surrounding cats.
It makes the interactions very wholesome. ❤️

Love the youtube community interactions
52:33 the cats vision gets blurry because cats actually can’t see things up close super well. Because their eyes are so large, it’s hard for them to focus on things up close like that. So that’s super cool that the game went that far into the characteristics and functions of cats.

Jack is the perfect example of someone getting a cat and becoming a cat person 😂
It always cracks me up how people are like “ew, cats” and then they get a cat and fall in love with them. If you give a cat a lot of attention and love, especially when they’re little, they grow up to be very affectionate and sweet.

The bond between these developers, Jack, and all of us is delightful. I love how frequently there were opportunities for all those little responses (oh, big stretch etc) and all the small mannerisms that really sell the cat as a Cat.
“I am ready to slaughter”

It never occurred to me just how much like cats we gamers play games. We snoop into every little thing, let our curiosity get the better of us and explore and mess around with things like knocking things off surfaces or destroying things because we can. This game is the true embodiment of a video game.
Gamers play as: "Their true essence"

I'm fairly certain the group of cats are littermates. Basically what it sounds like; siblings from the same litter. They play and bond just like the ones you get separated from, which is why it can be beneficial to adopt a pair from the same litter so they always have each other in a new place. However the same can be said if they get separated and isolated; they get sad and lonely (hence why owners need to give them extra attention to fix that). So the goal to get the kitty back with his/her pals makes sense, as a littermate will likely go out of their way to get reunited if they are bonded well enough.
When you got the bag on your head and the controls were reversed and you actually felt annoyed that was pure video game magic.
A stroke of genius to be sure!
