I’m glad John took the opportunities to nap and scratch stuff and nuzzle folks. They don’t move the story along but add so much flavor and are very sweet touches. Stray is such a well rounded and immersive experience, not every moment is gamified.
Of all the wholesome animal protag indie games, of course John accidentally picks the most horror-like one. Cat-eating headcrabs, post-apocalypse, and don't get me started on the sewer level.
"This isn't the wholesome cat content I was promised" - John *Cut to flashbacks of my own playthrough where every few seconds I'm running in terror, crying, confused, or panicking over a sequence*
ahhhh didn't think I'd see you play this!!! as a cat owner I was so enamoured by how accurate the cat movements and little behaviours are, truly made by people who really love those little rascals.
I kept cooing in delight at all the loving little cat details in the game - my own cat does that 'prrt!' sound when she jumps, and the 'you put clothes/a harness/a cone on me, I will now go limp and act like I'm dying until you remove it' is a posture all cat owners are familiar with. The soundtrack is also really nice! Really enjoying the playthrough and I'm looking forward to seeing how the rest of the game unfolds!
I love how we've gone from having a marmalade cat IN a backpack (Spidey game) ...to putting a backpack ON a marmalade cat. (Also the trilling is sending me.)
Totally! So many great games being played! Best second channel on TH-cam!! Iirc Detroit Become Human will also come at some point, John is making a lot of his fans very happy 😍😍😍
I lost my sweet ginger boy suddenly last year and yes, they are making me cry lol. I didn't watch anyone else play this because I just was not ready but apparently I'm still a little delicate about it.
not even 10 minutes in yet and i'm already tearing up because the kitty fell QQ EVEN THOUGH I WAS WARNED BEFOREHAND I'M STILL SAD oop here come the tears xD i am far too emotional towards cats to handle this game jesus christ
We are officially becoming a John watching family lol. My 12 year old loves the Leathal Company playthroughs and my 4 and 5 year olds loves the Spidermans and this one. My 5 year old named the cat Kitty John.
John, if you keep mentioning SOMA in videos (here and in Lethal Company last week) you're going to have to replay it. I know we would all love it!! Delighted by all the videos, thank you.
I never watched the playthrough for this game, even though it basically was everywhere when it first came out. I guess it was destined that I will only watch it when John plays it! I love the details in the game, and I agree with what you said on the immersion aspects. Love how the guitar kept playing when the cat sleeps. Love that the cat is able to scratch and knock things. The whole ambience of the game is amazing. I thoroughly enjoy this playthrough, and I'm glad you're happy playing it too!! Thanks John.
Finished playing Stray earlier today! Very enjoyable game, love the sound design and visual aesthetic. It was strangely comforting playing a game not driven by dialogue, more so the goal to figure out the environment and how to interact with it.
I just started watching this playthrough, and I keep getting triggered everytime the cat falls and lets out a little pained cry and immeaditely reach for one of my cats to hug them lmfaooooo
This is such a cute game! I also thought this game was just a cat simulator set in the future when it came out, and I'm glad I'm wrong about that. I love all the NPCs so far, this whole area has so much personality!
Take a look at the achievements, it's easy to get them all in 1 play-through with just a little more exploring. Also, the music on the jukebox changes with the more sheet musics you turn in. Stray is a really fun game and I think my biggest complaint was that the indicator to jump was really picky in some places. Hope you have a lot of fun with this play through.
i think john is hardwired to hard mode in games. i am slow to pick up so this game is a blessing for me. its guided with chill and just cruising. john succeed in one go.😄
I was so enamoured with this game when it came out! So happy you're playing it, John and that you're enjoying it. Did you notice the cat leaves paw prints for a bit if it walks through paint? Nice attention to detail. Haven't played it yet but definitely want to play it myself sometime even if I've seen it (most of it, I don't know how it ends but I guess I'll find out in this playthrough). Love how you can lay down next to the musician and just leave it running for a bit like a screensaver for the mood. Very cute.
"sO iS jOhN jUsT nOt PlAyInG hOrRoR gAmEs AnYmOrE?" All jokes and poking fun at ridiculous commenters aside, I've been meaning to check this game out for a while now too. Either by playing it myself if possible, or watching someone play it. So I'm glad you've decided to do a playthrough of it. Anyways, I'mma actually watch the video now while I have time. Can't wait for the next episode already!
A very cute little adventure. Sure it's not the most replayable game in the world and not very innovative but it was worth it just for the lore and the environment.
Happy to see you play this! It's a lovely little game. For me the best part is the cat animation, which is impressively naturalistic. It's cute without feeling tryhard and cloying.
"didn't think i'd be talking about soma while playing the stray cat game" lol right, i was like, this is soma with cats lmaoooo the cat with the backpack reminds me of when we first put a sweater on our cat. she haaaated it huh, 75204 is a legit zip code in dallas, in old east dallas/uptown in downtown. the dallas theological seminary is in that zip code. and fogo de chao xD
Yes!!!! I love that you are playing this. This is one of my top 3 games, but I am such a cat fanatic so... You can tell the developers are cat people with all the little touches. When i first played and put the harness on, i just cracked up. If you want an easy achievement...meow more. One of my fave things to do in this place is walk in front of the robot walking around. I mean...its all pure cat chaos and i love it. Thanka for playing this. So awesome to see you also having a good time doin cat things.
John, I hope you’re enjoying playing more games. I think I speak for many people in your audience when I say I want you to be happy. I’m here for whatever content you want to make. :)
sorry I'm late to your plays but I enjoy all of them. I promise I watch em all when I can. you're def my fav TH-cam person who I've been following for a long time. (cough amnesia) I've gotten my ppl to also love ya. keep it up and have fun with day babies and partner.
Ooohhh, I hope you enjoy this one! I don't play too many games due to time and lack of patience but this one I just had to play, cuz cute kitty, duh, and I absolutely loved it! It's so gorgeous and I really just loved exploring the world. I think one of my favorite parts was collecting and listening to the music sheets! That "Cool Down" one was definitely my favorite!
This game didn't even cross my mind as a game that I wanted to watch you play, but immediately was hyped to see it in my feed. I loved this game when it came out, and I'm very excited to watch you play through it! Been loving all of these indie game playthroughs from you, and super excited for when you can get to Outer Wilds
Went in knowing literally nothing about this game other than ‘cat,’ as soon as I saw the wholesome, warm and fuzzy beginning area I figured it was going to go full Watership Down. Just didn’t realize it’d be that early…
To be honest...I thought it came out last year too. Not over a year and a half ago. Days have blended in with the months-making time seem to go by fast on my end. It's already March of 2024 and I feel if I should blink, it will be August of 2024.
I never imagined John would play this but I am here for it.
Yeah since he doesn’t like cats
@@madisongeronimo6859 he just said he prefers dogs, thats all
yeah my mom's the same @@KOTEBANAROT
This game is right up your alley(no pun intended) and I think you will love (or did because of the past) it!
The fake cat doing anything cute
Johns face - 😑
My face - 🥹🥰
About time
I’m glad John took the opportunities to nap and scratch stuff and nuzzle folks. They don’t move the story along but add so much flavor and are very sweet touches. Stray is such a well rounded and immersive experience, not every moment is gamified.

12:15 waited the whole video for John’s “animal baby voice” to inevitably make an appearance and whoop there it is
“Oh~ :3 I pick up da buwcket~ :3”
I thought I was going crazy (I actually thought he was asleep), but my orange kitten is really loving this lol he's actually super invested in this 😂
I have to keep shooing mine from attacking the screen XD
@@jdphillips7539 hahaha 😂😂
This is one of my favourite games! Looking forward to John's playthrough!
I'm sorry I really have to know. What other games did you play?
"Oh you like Stray? Name every video game"
John's reply to this was hilarious 😂
Me yelling at the TV: take a nap beside him while he's playing the guitar!!!!
“this is not the wholesome kittycat experience I was promise” I’m too sad about the kittycat 😞
I kept cooing in delight at all the loving little cat details in the game - my own cat does that 'prrt!' sound when she jumps, and the 'you put clothes/a harness/a cone on me, I will now go limp and act like I'm dying until you remove it' is a posture all cat owners are familiar with.

This is a very pleasant surprise. I'm also really enjoying your BG3 playthrough.

cat cat cat cat
i’m so excited to watch you play this, this game made me so emotional
When I say the notification I screamed. I’m so happy he is playing this.
Notoriously known 'cat hater' John Wolfe plays Stray... 2024 is already of to a crazy start.
No way!! What a pleasant surprise!! Would never have thought I'd get to see John play this, I loved this game!
I lost my sweet ginger boy suddenly last year and yes, they are making me cry lol. I didn't watch anyone else play this because I just was not ready but apparently I'm still a little delicate about it.

My favorite part about this is John slowly falling in love with this cat. 😍
Finally! I get to see John play as cat.
as soon as you started scratching the doors and bearing voices from behind them I immidietly though of your Observer playthrough
I just started watching this playthrough, and I keep getting triggered everytime the cat falls and lets out a little pained cry and immeaditely reach for one of my cats to hug them lmfaooooo
This is such a cute game! I also thought this game was just a cat simulator set in the future when it came out, and I'm glad I'm wrong about that. I love all the NPCs so far, this whole area has so much personality!
One of the absolute best games. Watched gab play it, and happy to watch John play as well
So glad you came into this practically blind! Much more fun that way 😊
Take a look at the achievements, it's easy to get them all in 1 play-through with just a little more exploring. Also, the music on the jukebox changes with the more sheet musics you turn in.

Two minutes in and I’m already dying of cute. I’m a huge cat person, how did I miss this game? Thanks for playing, it looks great!
John Cat
It was so nice to see John enjoying himself and also being the best cat. I'll be watching for part 2!
I was so enamoured with this game when it came out! So happy you're playing it, John and that you're enjoying it. Did you notice the cat leaves paw prints for a bit if it walks through paint? Nice attention to detail.
Haven't played it yet but definitely want to play it myself sometime even if I've seen it (most of it, I don't know how it ends but I guess I'll find out in this playthrough). Love how you can lay down next to the musician and just leave it running for a bit like a screensaver for the mood. Very cute.
I love the game! At the star I was like "Oh, John is a dog person". And then "Oh, he's actually a cat" ahaha
Who puts you up to this john? Kimmy?? CK??? Meow three times if you need help!
John‘s a cat! Glorious days! Very excited about this 👌
man I really love cats 😭such a lovely idea
Bramble, Dredge, and now Stray! I feel so spoiled this year ❤😂
Yay, two of my favorite things: John Wolfe...and cat.
I cant--not even 3 minutes in and this is just making me miss my cat at home while im at work. Thisll have to be a watch later video
As a cat person who recently played this game, I'm looking forward to seeing a dog person play it!
So hyped to see John playing this! I loved the game myself, kind of gave me little nightmares vibes but with cat
I’m so happy you played this!!!! It made me cry so hard when it came out
This always makes me cry but it hurts more now that my oldest cat is gone and if I say anything I get told to basically get over it
I actually havent gotten around to watching a playthrough of this, as no one I really follow did a playthrough, so super excited for this!
This was such a delight to watch. I’m really looking forward to seeing you really cat out.
mannnnn John juked those zurks like he owed them money 😂
super excited you're playing this one.
Yeah!!! CATS!! This is so exiting was waiting for this one 😮 this one will be hard to watch reminds me of my ginger girl she died 2 years ago
YESSSSSSSSSSSS IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS! I saw the cat from hell guy playing it and it was cute but id rather watch an actual gamer play it
This game is incredible. Watched it last year when Gabs played it. But I want more of the Stray vibes. This is wonderful ❤
Glad you're checking this game out John!
I really enjoyed playing it.
I awwed and laughed a lot during this video. Super enjoyable playthrough! Looking forward to the next one.

I didn't know John playing Stray was something I needed, but I'm excited for this. ❤
A very cute little adventure. Sure it's not the most replayable game in the world and not very innovative but it was worth it just for the lore and the environment.
You figured stuff out quicker than I did, I got so lost at some points. This is a fun watch!
I'm so happy! John yours is the only playthrough I've watched where you actually take your time, look around and enjoy the music! Loving this so far
Im happy you stopped to listen to the musics :> i really like the "cooldown" very cozy :D
to play as the cat, you must become the cat...meow
(petition for John to wear cat ears next episode)
YESSS, so excited
Happy to see you play this! It's a lovely little game. For me the best part is the cat animation, which is impressively naturalistic. It's cute without feeling tryhard and cloying.
"didn't think i'd be talking about soma while playing the stray cat game" lol right, i was like, this is soma with cats
lmaoooo the cat with the backpack reminds me of when we first put a sweater on our cat. she haaaated it
huh, 75204 is a legit zip code in dallas, in old east dallas/uptown in downtown. the dallas theological seminary is in that zip code. and fogo de chao xD
Yes!!!! I love that you are playing this. This is one of my top 3 games, but I am such a cat fanatic so... You can tell the developers are cat people with all the little touches.

Me and my two cats are happy to watch you play this!
wow i have not seen any gameplay of this yet (under a rock). im 10 mins in and i really really love the atmosphere and the graphics are stunning.
Meowless run 😂. Zero meows.
My cat loved watching me play this game and being able to meow on command! It’s a short little game but I really enjoyed it for what it was
the funny walk after putting on the little vest 😍
John, I hope you’re enjoying playing more games. I think I speak for many people in your audience when I say I want you to be happy. I’m here for whatever content you want to make. :)
I love this game! So glad that you can experience it and we get to watch. Have fun!
the fact you played this makes me so happy
sorry I'm late to your plays but I enjoy all of them. I promise I watch em all when I can. you're def my fav TH-cam person who I've been following for a long time. (cough amnesia) I've gotten my ppl to also love ya. keep it up and have fun with day babies and partner.
So excited to see you play this!!!
this is a PLEASANT SURPRISE I'm looking forward to this!!!
stray is one of my favorite games ever so getting to watch john play through it is such a nice surprise
Ooohhh, I hope you enjoy this one! I don't play too many games due to time and lack of patience but this one I just had to play, cuz cute kitty, duh, and I absolutely loved it! It's so gorgeous and I really just loved exploring the world. I think one of my favorite parts was collecting and listening to the music sheets! That "Cool Down" one was definitely my favorite!
This is very relaxing to watch.
JOHN and CATS? CATS + JOHN? YES. I'm here for it.
This channel, and you John are the exact type of TH-cam video I love. What a gem
This game didn't even cross my mind as a game that I wanted to watch you play, but immediately was hyped to see it in my feed. I loved this game when it came out, and I'm very excited to watch you play through it! Been loving all of these indie game playthroughs from you, and super excited for when you can get to Outer Wilds
I literally can't believe he's playing this! lmao i'm glad tho, i get to watch a beautiful game while doing work
So happy to see you play this! I adore Stray so much, I have a tattoo of the logo in neon colors!
I’m so excited this is a game I wanted John to play since it came out but never expected him to!
LOVE THIS GAME! love you're playing it! 2022 was a good year for gaming
I've only played the first few hours of Stray, but I really liked what I saw. Glad you're enjoying it John!
YES!!!! I recommend this in your charity stream i'm so EXCITED
Went in knowing literally nothing about this game other than ‘cat,’ as soon as I saw the wholesome, warm and fuzzy beginning area I figured it was going to go full Watership Down. Just didn’t realize it’d be that early…
Omg seriously one of my favorite games. Love the atmosphere smmmm
I’m so happy you are playing this!
To be honest...I thought it came out last year too. Not over a year and a half ago. Days have blended in with the months-making time seem to go by fast on my end. It's already March of 2024 and I feel if I should blink, it will be August of 2024.
I am SO glad John decided to play this game! I am seated for this!
Not the cat game John😂 lol cute dig it
I ❤ this game & youre my fav tuber so this is just AWESOME
I think the "unreadable sheet music" is Daisy Bell, which is the first song ever sang by a computer. If I'm right, then that's a cool little thing!
It's a kitty!🥰 Love everything that is happening on this channel!
