Yeah, I think as the virus took over, dying people uploaded their consciousness to robots, like b12 did, and thats why most the robots we meet are so human like
This game was honestly genius on the developers' part. They lured everyone in with "look, cute cat :)" and then proceeded to tell such a cool apocalyptic story that had very little to do with the actual cat itself. I doubt it would have gotten this much traction if the cat wasn't involved, and it really deserves the attention it's getting.
I love how the robots treat the cat like a person, i dont think this is supposed to be a fourth wall break but them seeing the cat as an equal individual, i dont think they ever adress you as an animal or a pet but they see you as a person.
most of the robots have never seen a cat before or know what they are, so for all they know the cat could be just as smart as they are cause they just dont know
The cat doesn’t need to say a word, yet he displays so much emotion in his actions. The way he cuddles up towards B-12 as he falls shows he really did care about his little friend.
I liked how they portrayed that Artificial Intelligence aren't all that bad. You can hear from one of the bots/stories in the series where the "cleaners" loved the soft ones so much and that they missed them. So they tried mimicking/copying how the humans (soft ones) actually lived like. That's wholesome and really sad to know.
I also love this. There's too many games and movies about AI becoming sentient and taking over the world and destroying humans, but this is such a nice spin on the idea that no, they love us. We created them, we do so many weird and fun and cool things and they admire us for it and want to imitate us.
57:11 Was so funny when Jack got called over by the guy in the purple suit, only for them to call him a cutie. Now you know how cats feel when you call them over, interrupting them, just to tell them they're cute. "That's it?" lol
I actually don't think the humans are truly gone. Why did the robots in the city at some point "gain souls"? I think it's because the humans in the city uploaded themselves into their companions when the Zurks were still only devouring organic matter. That was also the point the robots switched from pure binary to a language more similar to human ones. Since then, they either forgot (it's apparently been ~7 million years) or they never quite remembered to begin with, as can be seen with b-12.
I found it incredibly endearing yet sad that the Companion robots had tried so hard to imitate humanity and be as close to humans as possible. It's a refreshing take in comparison to "robots are evil and will destroy humans because they hate us"
I'm wondering if those Companion Robots are like B-12, Humans in Robot bodies and that is why they are so human like. Because At the end we see other Companion Robots with no personality, they are just Robots. Why did they never change and imitate humans yet the others did? We saw 2 of the machines used to transfer a human into a different body. B-12's apartment and another at Antvillage.
Anyone else notice the HUGE red flag when you’re finding the clues in the house? Clementine said she didn’t know Blazer’s name, but the message reads out “I’m with blazer, come to nightclub”.
i think it's interesting how the robots aren't exactly a negative thing. some people fear robots taking over the world of whatever, but the way that the robots are portrayed feels human and real. I like that.
@@myrrhee8831 exactly! i really like them and i find the way that some of them live to be rather peaceful and heartwarming like the one who was painting and the other ones who were growing plants
@@theincarnationofboredom207 I completely agree! They don't seem like any evil creatures, they seem like a step in our evolution while still being their own things
I like how the boxes the cat hides in is from a company called “Neco”, while the Japanese term for cat is “Neko”. So I guess jack was right when he said this place looked like Japan. 👍
The way the Companions are depicted as our descendants is an oddly comforting take on "humans go extinct, AI takes over." Usually post-apocalyptic AI scenarios induce fear or sadness, but this game gives it more of a "these are our children" kind of vibe.
This is a thing in post-apocalyptic media, that takes place long AFTER the apocalypse, that I really like: the people who live then have no notion of what came before, so what's left might seem like a bleak shadow to us, but to them it's just how the world is and should be. A great example is the movie "Origin: Spirits of the Past". ^^
Another cool little detail I noticed was how everything was in english at the last location. It’s a small detail that shows that this city was only inhabited by humans and not by the more “life-like” robots that we see in the other areas.
The name “stray” really hammers home how abandoned the cat, robots, and other inhabitants of the world are because they are now subject to nature and themselves only. There are no humans to help because they killed themselves. The name also emphasises the capability of cats and other animals to survive without us.
Finally finished watching this. The way he watches until the whole ceiling of the city opens up really sums up whatt makes it so satisfying to watch games through Jack, the details he takes in and the pacing of how he goes through the environments just makes my brain happy haha. This was so nice. I think I will definitely go back to this series multiple times in the future.
this has become my comfort series to the point i listen to this series to go to sleep because its the right timing with not so much sudden yelling or loud music. The environments are by far my favourite from a video game
Honestly, this game doesn't need mechanics or a story or any sort of message or ANYTHING The main draw of it, to me, is the fact that you could pause it at any point and just get a painting It's such a beautiful game (visually) constantly
There's a cat backpack company, called Travel Cat, who teamed up with Stray to make the same cat backpack in real life so that your cat can look like the one ingame
I am honestly really impressed on how the game gave a Ginger a lot of personality without anything fancy, just cat personality, wound licking, meowing, the way he shows affection to the characters that he met, tap-tapping anything he finds interesting and all other cat acts, the developers really made a master piece
So twitter told me all of the devs are obsessed with cats and owns multiple of them too, so much so that, in the dev team, the cat to human ratio was easily won over by their pet cats. 🐈 I like to think that it's true, since the game itself just shows how obsessed it is with cats
The sequel could be a direction continuation. What happened to the city after the dome was opened? How did the robots react and respond? What does the outside beyond the walls look like?
The speech Clem made about us being Outsiders and her shoo’ing us along the path didn’t make me tear up but it did make me feel conflicting emotions. I always thought that the lack of voice for these robots would make the game feel disconnecting but the more I played and the more personalities I’ve seen made me realized how much I underestimated this game and it’s concept of robots. This game is much more than a game about a cat and I would’ve regretted if I hadn’t bought it. This game deserves all the praise
Cats show affection through their blinking. Slowly closing their eyes and then opening them again while looking at you means that they love you. So, at the end, that extra long blink at the camera was actually ginger showing affection towards the player. (Everyone, I'm aware its a sign of trust. Thank you if you were just trying to inform me)
I'd like to think he was saying goodbye to the city and everyone in the city, and that he loved everyone in the city. Tho I also like him showing affection to the player. :)
Fun fact about the world design in Stray: The slums and the buildings design were heavily inspired by the real life walled city in Hong Kong (Kowloon Walled City) back then. They described that place is a "perfect playground for cats"
No wonder it reminded me so much of Hong Kong, the narrow streets and all the colourful neon plus the style of plants and colours struck me more as Hong Kong and Ho Chi Minh City vs architecture you'd find in Tokyo or Seoul.
I firmly believe B-12 uploaded itself to the main system and is now the compound itself. The little spark at the end kind of makes me think about it too, it's watching over the cat. There's no way this doesn't get a sequel after this much attention and great storytelling.
I wanna see a sequel to this. So. Bad. I’ll even take a DLC so I can continue living the magic. I also would love to see a game like this, but with a dog instead of a cat. I’m a cat person 100%, but I would absolutely play a Stray-like game as a dog
@@whitefang2312 I know this is totally unrelated to your point, but when you said they don’t have eyes it made me flashback to the giant, blinking red eyes on the walls in that one area. God, I hated everything about those things even if they did nothing but make you uneasy
@@NateSchulte Hmm… maybe if they make a sequel they can give more info on the walls. The signs said “wall 99 the safest city” maybe this hints at there being other walls like this one on earth.
I would love that if there's a sequel they show the robots expanding outside and make paintings, statues for this messiah cat that saved them and gave them freedom. This game is special.
in case you feel sad about B12 - he's alive in the system. the last scene of the monitors flashing outside was his system being alive. he just needs a new host for a body and he's all set!
THANK YOU JAY- I was so sad when I watched RT play through this (he was the first letsplayer I watched for ‘Stray’) and witnessed B12 sacrifice himself.
Yeah, I'm astonished that Jack has apparently completely forgotten the beginning of the game. EDIT: Okay, so he did remember, but wanted to see more of it. Alright, I guess that makes sense.
@@TylerDollarhide yeah you’re right. Still, pretty sure it’s a person if you check their channel. Still that’s playing right into their attention grabbing.
1:45:44 I love this detail: as you’re leaving the cat does what’s called a “slow blink”. Slowly blinking is a cats way of showing affection, kind of like a dog brushing up against you or making eye contact. Even big cats like tigers and jaguars perform their gesture. Moreover, they’re looking directly at not only the city they’ve saved - but also the player. A final send off, a “Thank’s for playing” by both our feline protagonist and the developers.
1:41:15-1:41:30 Absolutely broke me :( 1:44:38 Lol you left so fast. I sat for so long trying to pick up lil B12 cause he deserved to be outside, even if he was just a shell! 1:45:46 Aww, he did the long/slow blink which I've read means "I love you" Love you too Ging! Really hope you find your friends again!
So what happens if you go over to B-12 after he's fallen to the floor and try to interact with him? I can see there's that little button above him like you can do something.
I like to think that that panel lighting up as the cat left was the part of B12 that still lives on in the system even though his drone body died. He did get to go outside with you and see the sky and that was him acknowledging that and saying farewell to the cat
Clementines apartment is literally my house goals. A dim, cozy, hippie/boho inspired vibe with plants EVERYWHERE. Along with some neon lights scattered around to make it colorful and vibrant. I’ve never wanted to be in a digital space more in my life.
EXACTLY I WAS THINKING THE SAME THING every single thing about it is my kind of place and i aspire to have an apartment like this in the future ESPECIALLY with that high up loft you can climb up to
Through this whole playthrough, I liked imagining that whenever B-12 translated what the robots were saying he literally went "Meow, meow meow-meow. Meow."
Cats and dogs can understand human languages though, they can recognize many sounds and words. My cat can understand what I'm saying in Romanian and will do almost whatever I ask of him, but not when I speak Italian or English.
As much as I agree that this post-apocalyptic thing about humans doing their own end in the game is, I think a lot of people miss the other point. That humanity still lives on inside the robots, in what they left behind. Yes, they created the Zurks and yes, they created the class system inside the walled city, but the robots also adopted the little things that define humanity. They open cafes and bars, they paint, they dance, they play music and they do just about anything a human can. Heck, you even saw a robot trying to cheat on a game and another smoking to get 'high'. Humanity lives on and that includes all the good things that makes you want to live and have hope.
No, it's pretty clear humanity IS the robots. They used the capsules, like the scientist who became B-12, to transfer their consciousness into robot bodies.
@@NeroCM and how come none of them has ANY memory about this or anything else? besides, there's a wall sentence saying "its ben 62532635 days we became sentient" or something like this, stating they were just machines untill developed (or learned from humans) to develop a sense of self
@@NeroCM B-12 is most likely just one of the rare cases of consciousness being transferred. B-12 even refers to the robots the cat met throughout the game as "Companions", as the 'descendants of humanity', and since robots became self-aware(as noted by the person above), it's far more evident to say that humans perished except for perhaps the few special cases like B-12.
@@tainasiman2107 Transferring consciousness can be a pretty big deal. Since the human mind is vastly large it would probably be hard to fit all of your memories and consciousness inside a single chip. So they must have probably only fitted like some parts of their memory. As to why they dont remember something *more* important like humanity dying, well that depends on what that scientist saved inside that robot body. but this is a very vague theory, so take it with a grain of salt.
I actually started shedding a lot of tears when b12 died. He was a really good companion. I really enjoyed watching you play Stray, Jacksepticeye. The first Stray episode is actually my first video of yours that I’ve watched. I just loved your reactions to the things in the game. As a cat lover AND owner, I got really attached to this game. Loved your play through so much.
@@Cr1ms0n_K1n didn’t u see the light at the end of the game? His body was destroyed but his brain is still in the system. He may come back he just needs a new body..
But also, that B-12's "consciousness" has gone "into the network" - analogous with limbo or something, the way it made it sound in earlier parts of the game - of the walled city's computer systems. That's what that flashing screen was... so I'm really, really hoping for substantial DLC, or a sequel.
@@ulengrau6357 Seems like they left a lot for a sequel. Like finding the rest of the cats, if B-12 is in the system and is still alive, and what happens to the robots.
@@rogeliocano9536 and also, what about OTHER walled cities? Or even the rest of this one? There can be DLC plus potential sequel. Or, you know, the story could just be self-contained to this moment. I guess I wouldn’t mind that either. Sometimes it’s better not to ruin something short and sweet. If this game had gone on for 20 more hours, I wonder how we would all feel about it then.
I honestly expected a cutscene where the cats meet again after the credits. I wanted to see them reunite so badly. Now with an open ending like that, it only leaves me with speculations, like will the cat find the family now? Are the other cats fine too? I really need to know. Hopfully the devs can add a cutscene in the future ;_;
From the last episode, I totally predicted the sun would kill the Zurks. The defluxer shined purple, which made me think of UV light. You know what produces a LOT of UV light? The sun.
@@Ze_Borb Both are correct. And shone is typically used when no object is mentioned. "The sun shone brightly" is proper. "The sun shined on us" is proper
I'm speculating that the outside section of this game wasn't included because the devs are planning on making a sequel where the cat traverses the outside, in search for the original group of cats that we saw at the start of the game. whether that's true or not, the game itself was still magnificent.
I'll be honest, I don't want a sequel. I feel like Cat going on "another adventure" would cheapen this one, and especially, that long, grateful blink of love and thanks at the end.
@@Frostiken fair point. im familiar with annapurna and theyve put out some solid games at the expense of time. id be happy to see another game like this but in its own separate universe sometime maybe
Zurks are probably still alive. They can hide in underground and eat everything during night. It'll be interesting to see the same cat or another customizable cat starts another adventure outside full of greenery and robot communities like Horizon with bigger map, more combat mechanics, and a lot more side quests.
I’ve played this, and I’ve watched my wife and jack play it now, and EACH TIME I get so emotional and teary eyed. I hope there will be a sequel. I hope this game gets GotY recognition
Most of the internet keeps saying that B-12 is definitely dead. But right at the end, when the cat walks off screen, the game draws your attention to a panel that lights up and the controller even vibrates. There is a reason the game wanted you to notice it and I do genuinely believe that it was telling us that B-12 actually survived the transfer. I could be reaching for something, but I don't think the devs did that effect with the panel for nothing.
And the dialogue that B-12 says right before shutting the system off is that it COULD fry his system when he makes the transfer so I do believe that B-12 could very much be alive.
I definitely caught that too! I'm pretty well convinced B12 is alive, in the system. Fingers crossed for a sequel, even if it's another like 5 years lol
this game is phenomenal, im so glad it wasnt just a "hey you play as a cat" gimmick game and it actually had such a deep lore and story to it and INCREDIBLE, BREATHTAKING environments. overall probably my personal best game 2022
I started bawling when ginger cuddled up with B-12. But the moment Jack said, "oh shit everyone down there must be freaking the fuck out" I couldn't help but to laugh. If this isnt proof that jack is just a ball of happy energy I don't know what is
Slightly slower I think than a real cat, but that might be on purpose because people who either don't pay attention to or don't know might get worried the kitty is breathing too fast.
The fact that at the end you won't see the other cats waiting for you, since they don't know you're still alive and continued living life makes it more sad but realistic, yknow?
idk, I have two cats, a few years back, one of them got lost. The other would search the house high and low, looking and meowing until we finally found the lost one.
@@linren901 Wish my cats were like that 🙁one of them ran away or something but the other cats never really bothered looking for her. They're siblings and they did love playing with each other but once she disappeared it was like she never existed...
I cried the fuck out of my soul over a god damn kitty sleeping next to a dead drone, this was amazing. Also, I hope Ginger could reunite with his/her friends, they surely miss each other.
tbh that's what bummed me about the game. I felt it was advertised as the adventure was a quest to go back to the outside and be reunited with the other cats but we ended up having an outstanding journey to save a population wich was awesome but let's be honest a 5 second animation at the end where they are reunited was missing. My heart broke when he left alone.
Interesting to note that the earth was probably never that fucked. Like the birds at the end looked like pigeons, and those aren't front runners for making it through the apocalypse, so maybe there are other walled cities out there with people in them, they just couldn't get into 99 or have gotten stuck inside their own cities for other reasons. Stray 2 could be about rescuing them, so you have to start by getting into the city from the outside.
That's what makes the story really intriguing and interesting to me. I love this game as it is but I definitely wouldn't be opposed to a sequel or a prequel. The world they created is just that interesting.
Honestly, it seems that what happened was a non-zoonotic plague. The animals were fine, they couldn't catch it. The threat they were isolating from was other humans and infected air.
The game: _starts on the surface, where Ginger is from_ Jack, throughout this whole playthrough: We're never gonna see the surface in this game, are we? Oh I bet it's completely desolate and unlivable...
@@thomasgowin2038 Yeah, but we never actually saw the surface. The plant growth in the wall suggests that it is livable, I'm not arguing that. But we didn't start on the surface, we started inside the wall which is the point I'm making.
It’s so sad you go through the whole game leaving Friends behind and then your one friend through the whole story that you thought would make it out with you,can’t.Genuinely made me sob😢
this is my one peeve on the game and especially the ending. the cat's main motivating factor is getting out to get back to him family. yeah he might have also wanted to help along the way, but that's the main driving force. otherwise why have the cat family at the beginning at all? why not just show the main cat traveling around on his own and falling down into the city? why show a family that gets separated and all and then not have that reunion shown at the end?
@@fionazelmann7541 the only thing i could think of is that they left an open ending for a second game where they reunite. At least I hope that's the case :(
Personally, I like it more this way. Yeah I get it, the cat wants to get back to its family/friends but I feel like if that's the route that they chose then it would feel forced considering that the cat was in a whole different area and it would also be very cliche
@@gdottothegamer1001 I agree, this ending feels much more open ended and like there is much more potential for where the cat could go from here. I would've loved to see them reunite, but it just wouldn't make sense. Plus, though the motivating factor is trying to get back home, that isn't the theme of the game itself.
I really like the immersion you get simply by the fact that you play as a cat, because the gamer instinct to poke around in every single corner, interact with every object in the space even if it's just breaking/knocking things over, climb as high as you possibly can... it all makes perfect sense in the context of the story, because that is literally what a cat would do. It's a great concept to build a game around, because it allows the environments and worldbuilding to expand so much further and into unexpected little nooks and crannies. The artists designing the environments really get to show off the work they put into the details despite the very straightforward, linear storyline, because the player is allowed to explore it so naturally.
I could definitely imagine a sequel for this, like the robots are migrating outside and you get to explore the towns and city's that was left piecing the story of what happened
As heartbreaking and sad I found B-12’s death to be, I think it was important as it served as a symbolism for how humanity’s time has come to an end and that it’s time to let the new era of Earth’s inhabitants care for the planet, which in this case are the companions. Hopefully they will be able to create a cleaner and healthier environment than their predecessors so that there won’t ever be another lockdown scenario like this again. I still wonder if Ginger ever reunited with the other cats though…..
Jack do you know that “Neco Corporation” literally means “Cat’s Corporation” in Japanese and the developers took a lot of inspiration from Jorean (Japanese and Korean) that’s why most of the symbols we see mostly are mixture of kanji characters and Thank you for playing this game.
Honestly, I could see a sequel to this game where the cat traverses the outside world to find their family. I could definitely see this, and this is one of the few games of this genre where I’d love a sequel! It’s such a neat concept
A wise man once said "just because you can doesn't mean you should" I understand what you mean because I loved it. But it is perfect the way it's ended
Yes, please. Personally, the thing that kept me watching/I felt was driving the story wasn't "get back outside" it was "get back to our family," so the ending just made me really sad.
@@atlasthelilghostman4766 yes exactly!! i was really hoping i'd even get just a tiny snippet of the cat finding their friends again. no shade towards the ending nonetheless though
actual outside predators (wild animals) finding b12 in the system, hopefully searching for the family finding a new cat friend to travel with i like the possibilities. i hope maybe they could create anything as good as this one. id definitely enjoy that
I hope the second part of this game would be the cat trying to find his family and how robots are learning how to live with humans visersa and the complications the robots will face and how the cats will help. I really hope there would be a part two of this game
This game seems eerily set up for a sequel and i'm ok there being a sequel if it happens, the little computer spark at the end could mean that B12 is alive within the system, we never actually got to see the outside or see the character's reactions to the outside or anything like that, we know that there is probably other walled cities out there because it's named walled city 99, we don't know that much about the infection other than the fact that it happened and all the humans died. It kind of reminds me of The Maze Runner trilogy, in the fact that it's similar with a post-apocalyptic world with a cast of character trapped in a massive walled structure for some reason
Yea I’m pretty sure they got sent back to the network like earlier when they said it was like being back in the network when they were shut down for a while. I REALLY hope so because I’d love a sequel and really want them to survive too. And also explore more of the city and/or outside/other cities and reunite with the other kitties by the end.
plus, like, the whole reason for going outside was to get back to the cat's friends, and there was no reuniting at the end. plus, once the cat gets outside, how will it find its way back to them? so it really seems set up for a sequel, to traverse the world outside and get back to its friends
I really loved the detail of Ginger in the jail where he had the marks on his fur from his little backpack, the designers did amazing work on this game
Fun fact: the cat you play as HAS a name per say, he's based off one of the cats of the game crew, Murtaugh. Hoolga and Viv's cat, he's known as "The Boss" by those who love him.
The thing that made the graphics of this masterpiece of a game so immersive was probably the creative decision of making all NPC characters into robots, thus rendering hard surfaces at almost all times, and because that's where Unreal Engine really works well, it often times looked more like a full-blown Pixar movie rather than a real-time-rendered video game. It was one of the best decisions the devs could've made (other than making the player into a cute cat of course).
About the trash eating bacteria, if I remember correctly from another playthrough, that's how the Zurks actually came to be. They were supposed to eat trash, then they evolved and started eating things they weren't supposed to. You actually found one of the notes about it in Doc's lab, where it said 'the Zurks are no longer under our control' or something like that.
To the ending. I am 90% sure B12 is alive and uploaded himself back into the system but was unable to communicate with us. That very ending with the screens flashing in the corner was B12. You have to remember everything in a video game, like most art, is there for a reason. Whether it's to add ambiance, or a story element or simply a light for a dark corner... Everything is manually placed and coded in for a reason. With that knowledge that means they showed that for a brief second for a reason. Stray DLC coming?
As someone that's been waiting for years for the game to finish and has seen nearly everything updated, it's incredible that I'm able to see some of my favourite content creators enjoy the game aswell
The one thing I wish was the game showing the cat somehow finding his friends and reuniting with them after all the things he went through. Other than that, gorgeous game! The roof opening was truly a sight to behold.
I honestly felt so cheated when I didn't get to reunite with my family at the end. I would've liked if it faded to black the way it did, then it brought you back to where you fell and you have to traverse the same path you took at the start before you were separated, back to where you started the game, where your family is waiting for you. I was looking forward to reuniting with them the entire game, even though I thoroughly enjoyed the journey I'm still a bit salty 😅
@@MrsEwsull I realized afterwards that it had the same vibe as "would you still love me if i was a [insert non-human thing]?" but the fact that it was between a human and a pet hit so hard. I've lost a few pets in my life, but I've never thought about how one of my pets would react to me passing. Most likely they'd move on or not show signs of noticing, but I'd like to think that they love me as much as I love them.
@@beedlebur Animals' sentimentality is stil no backed up in science.. It is realy hard to prove because animals are all about instinct and if there are times pets "love" their owners it will be an isolated case. I still believe tamed animals will be affected by a loss of human if the loss meant a change of routine. Cats are not good in terms of change. They will definitely be uncomfortable if I suddenly not around the house amd feed them at the usual time.
"Ginger" was specifically modeled after one of the cats on the team...markings and all. This is probably why there is no customization. I heard this info from Jackson Galaxy ( The cat behavior expert and host of Animal Planet's "My Cat From Hell" ), whom has a video of him not only playing the 1st 15 minutes of the game and explaining each behavior and just gushing over the game, but, apparently, he was in contact with The studio! He has some good inside info!
I, as well as many, almost legit cried when B-12 died, like geez, its so sad, but good that he is doing everyone a favor, but we will miss him, from now and forever
I cried really hard but then I saw the computer screen light up as the kitty was going outside and I suspect they were sent back to the network like they said earlier how it felt like they were back in the network when they were shut down for a while. I suspect a sequel or expansion will be coming and I am super hyped if there is. I really hope so. I want to rescue them and also explore more and reunite with the other kitties by the end. We also never learned much about the giant eyes. I kind of wonder if they eyes are what remains of humanity somehow or something. They aren’t susceptible to the UV light like the zurks so likely the opening of the city wouldn’t kill them off even if they weren’t in the sewer. They seem like something else entirely.
@@cheesecake1255 When you get up after you first fall down (the part where you're limping), you can actually hear the other cats calling down after you. There were so many meows echoing down there, I initially thought there were other cats that fell.
I feel like it would be fun to have some sort of “free roam” option after where you can choose where you want to explore and play around further from the beginning scene with your cat friends to Midtown or Antville or the Slumps
I love how Jack even talks about the message of this game. That's incredibly fucking important. It highlights the dangers of an oppressive, authoritative state along with corporate greed in their most extreme forms. I don't even care about the whole cat aspect of this game or anything. It was just so damn amazing and actually made me so emotional thinking about the desperation of human beings down there and how they've transferred consciousness somehow to an automated robot population. Everything was just so beautifully done.
I love the cat aspect added to everything cus i think it kind of shows a bond between humanity and cats. Also i like to think that since this is in the future that cats are evolved and have bigger brains hence why the cat is so damn smart. I wish b12 last lines should’ve been something like “you were the best boy ever i wish i had hands to pet you”
@@ndorfin9425 true but he still implies that this game pretty much shows a possibility for our near future -- one where, inevitably, even among robots, prejudice and discrimination still exists.
It’s also amazing how when the game was announced people were like “wow cute cat game” and when they played they left with a existential crisis. It’s a good thing too. People don’t except this types of messages from such a “simple” concept. I wish I could play this game myself but unfortunately I do not have a PlayStation, or rather, I have one, but it’s a PlayStation 3 so… my brother was thinking about buying a PlayStation 4 and if he does I’ll save money to buy this game. Even knowing the end I really want to experience it and all the secrets. One of my favourite things to do in video games is talking to NPC and just discovering stuff about the game, I love side quests perhaps a bit more than main quests. Of topic, but recently I finally got the chance to play Breath of the Wild for the first time, and it took me a month to finish the game, I could’ve finished the game in a week but got so into doing all the side quests that I forgot to progress with the main one. NPCs and Side Quests help build the game’s atmosphere, it tells and shows you things that otherwise you wouldn’t see. While you don’t need them to finish the game, and if you don’t want to do them you really don’t need to, if you want to learn more about the universe you’re playing in, it’s an amazing way to tell and show a story.
Fun fact: the cat in this game is based off the co creators real cat named murtaugh also known as "the boss" by people around him truly a fitting nickname :)
The end of this game had me sobbing. Not because of anything really that happened at the end(even though it was pretty sad when B-12 died), but because Stray's universe is so amazing and I was just sad to see it go. I really really hope that Stray gets a sequel, or at least a DLC. But even if it doesn't, Stray itself was an absolutely amazing game.
I keep crying and making myself remember that last lil flicker of him being in the network. I know he doesn't wanna be there, but it's better than being dead! Maybe when the robots come out, one can find him a new body.
I kinda wonder if the other city’s fell too? They were all sealed up pretty tight, the only reason everyone died in city 99 is because of the plague, so I wonder if the humans are still alive in the other city’s or if they all ended up dying too
I think there is huge potential for a second stray game. The city was listed as city 99, that is at least 98 other sealed cities out there in the world to have their stories told. Obviously it wouldn’t follow the same story that the first stray did, but I can’t wait to see what else this dystopian world has to offer.
A sequel could feature a different stray animal, with a totally different play style, city, and level design! Imagine exploring as a dog, rat, racoon, possum, monkey... B12 did say that the backpack was designed for "small quadrupeds", after all, not just cats!
Cat facts💕: Cats have scent glands in their paws and when they scratch or knead while purring, they are leaving their scent. It helps them stay oriented as well as claims a territory for themselves. yes, when a cat kneads on you (making biscuits) they are marking you as theirs and leaving their scent on you. Also, another reason cats love boxes, is that it is warm. The enclosed space helps regulate their body temp. That is why the love crevasses and small areas. And finally, (referencing the first vid in this series) cats don't do things to be mean or out of spite. They cannot comprehend emotions like that. They might pick up and understand that you give them attention and it gets exciting when they do naughty stuff, but they don't quite understand what it means to feel guilty or the concept of being "naughty". They just want to know that they are important to you because they depend on you for life, emotional comfort, and safety. If they are breaking stuff or getting into stuff that they shouldn't, it is because they are BORED. Get a few good play sessions in with toys throughout the day (preferably before mealtime to simulate hunting) and they will be happy and feel like a successful predator that they are. And they won't dig through your recycling as often....sigh. Go hug your cats!!!
It was really sad cause I had grown an attachment to B-12 and that he was like a best friend to ginger then he just dies and I was really sad,I’m also kinda bummed that you didn’t get to see gingers other cat friends
I like how the first area the sunlight hits is the Slums, I think it's very fitting and they totally deserve to see the sky first
this!! i hope the companions live a fullfilling life after the outside is available
Yes! Absolutely
yes
I hope there is a stray two!
ikr
i love that they made the robots take over, but not in an "evil" way. the robots didn't kill the humans, the virus did; and i really like that aspect
W aspect
Yeah, I think as the virus took over, dying people uploaded their consciousness to robots, like b12 did, and thats why most the robots we meet are so human like
Turns out that the robots are evil, but there minds where wiped.
ikr
Yea if it was IRl it would be the robots that are bad
This game was honestly genius on the developers' part. They lured everyone in with "look, cute cat :)" and then proceeded to tell such a cool apocalyptic story that had very little to do with the actual cat itself. I doubt it would have gotten this much traction if the cat wasn't involved, and it really deserves the attention it's getting.
yes and the cute cat also makes the game better. I love the story, but I also love the cat
@@ezra7088 big agree!!!
Excuse you the cat was an INTEGRAL part of the story 😤 😤
Exactly.

I love how the robots treat the cat like a person, i dont think this is supposed to be a fourth wall break but them seeing the cat as an equal individual, i dont think they ever adress you as an animal or a pet but they see you as a person.
Yep me too! Maybe it's evident to them (science and all) that animals are sentient beings as well?

@@randomizednerd yes just about all animals are sentient
@@hitchy0755 yes they know he's a cat, but they see him as an equal
most of the robots have never seen a cat before or know what they are, so for all they know the cat could be just as smart as they are cause they just dont know
The cat doesn’t need to say a word, yet he displays so much emotion in his actions. The way he cuddles up towards B-12 as he falls shows he really did care about his little friend.

@@aisldqz Don't mind them, it's most likely a bot
I tried. My cat was unimpressed by pixel cat.
I liked how they portrayed that Artificial Intelligence aren't all that bad. You can hear from one of the bots/stories in the series where the "cleaners" loved the soft ones so much and that they missed them. So they tried mimicking/copying how the humans (soft ones) actually lived like. That's wholesome and really sad to know.
I also love this. There's too many games and movies about AI becoming sentient and taking over the world and destroying humans, but this is such a nice spin on the idea that no, they love us. We created them, we do so many weird and fun and cool things and they admire us for it and want to imitate us.

@@makasete30 i mean you don't have to remind me that 🥲
I actually don't think the humans are truly gone. Why did the robots in the city at some point "gain souls"? I think it's because the humans in the city uploaded themselves into their companions when the Zurks were still only devouring organic matter. That was also the point the robots switched from pure binary to a language more similar to human ones. Since then, they either forgot (it's apparently been ~7 million years) or they never quite remembered to begin with, as can be seen with b-12.
I found it incredibly endearing yet sad that the Companion robots had tried so hard to imitate humanity and be as close to humans as possible. It's a refreshing take in comparison to "robots are evil and will destroy humans because they hate us"
And the Sentinels/Neco Corps seem to imitate our narcissistic tendencies, greed, thirst for power and violence lol
Guess that why your dad left @Kavetion
THE
I'm wondering if those Companion Robots are like B-12, Humans in Robot bodies and that is why they are so human like. Because At the end we see other Companion Robots with no personality, they are just Robots. Why did they never change and imitate humans yet the others did?
We saw 2 of the machines used to transfer a human into a different body. B-12's apartment and another at Antvillage.
@Kavetion bro, he's dead, what do you get from saying this?
Anyone else notice the HUGE red flag when you’re finding the clues in the house? Clementine said she didn’t know Blazer’s name, but the message reads out “I’m with blazer, come to nightclub”.
She could've just said that because of spies, but still a good theory

I like how the boxes the cat hides in is from a company called “Neco”, while the Japanese term for cat is “Neko”. So I guess jack was right when he said this place looked like Japan. 👍
you can also tell he's right because the place clearly looks like japan
The walled city was actually inspired by Kowloon Walled City, so Hong Kong not Japan. Still close enough though ^^
I was thinking this the whole time.
Yet he pronounced it wrong the whole time 😅
but the lettering on most of the neon signs seems like a miz of hiragana and katakana (Japanese letters) @@QueenOfBrokenStone
The way the Companions are depicted as our descendants is an oddly comforting take on "humans go extinct, AI takes over." Usually post-apocalyptic AI scenarios induce fear or sadness, but this game gives it more of a "these are our children" kind of vibe.
It's apocalyptic but still hopeful and at times downright optimistic. I love it
This is a thing in post-apocalyptic media, that takes place long AFTER the apocalypse, that I really like: the people who live then have no notion of what came before, so what's left might seem like a bleak shadow to us, but to them it's just how the world is and should be. A great example is the movie "Origin: Spirits of the Past". ^^
Humans die, robots with fusion cores live on, and cats somehow have the plot armor to tank the global disaster.
cringe
@@goofystrats6485 - Hush, adults are talking.
Another cool little detail I noticed was how everything was in english at the last location. It’s a small detail that shows that this city was only inhabited by humans and not by the more “life-like” robots that we see in the other areas.
Oh cool
This is a great observation that leads to a lot of interesting conclusions. Underrated comment!!
You can also see some English used in the same house you first meet b12, possibly foreshadowing that he was human all along?
Oh cool I noticed the English but I didn't put the two together.
I actually know that It means B-12 is alive
The name “stray” really hammers home how abandoned the cat, robots, and other inhabitants of the world are because they are now subject to nature and themselves only. There are no humans to help because they killed themselves.
The name also emphasises the capability of cats and other animals to survive without us.
Ooh that's right 👌
@Kavetion ok
Ya..cats don’t even need us, they didn’t need us. It’s the other way around we need cats. Cats can do so much with out us.
Ghosty Cats decided that humans were cool and helpful enough to hang out with, and humans went “8O!!!”
its less that they can survive without us and more that its a wonder they survive *with* us....
Finally finished watching this. The way he watches until the whole ceiling of the city opens up really sums up whatt makes it so satisfying to watch games through Jack, the details he takes in and the pacing of how he goes through the environments just makes my brain happy haha. This was so nice. I think I will definitely go back to this series multiple times in the future.
Yeah hes great and honestly theres a lot less to be gained from just watching it instead of rushing to the end
this has become my comfort series to the point i listen to this series to go to sleep because its the right timing with not so much sudden yelling or loud music. The environments are by far my favourite from a video game
Honestly, this game doesn't need mechanics or a story or any sort of message or ANYTHING
The main draw of it, to me, is the fact that you could pause it at any point and just get a painting
It's such a beautiful game (visually) constantly
There's a cat backpack company, called Travel Cat, who teamed up with Stray to make the same cat backpack in real life so that your cat can look like the one ingame
thank u for enlightening me of this
*Puts backpack on cat*

*Flop*
LOVE THAT
Thanks
Please tell me B12 is included!
The cat did a slow blink at the end to everyone in there! He was telling everyone there "i love you".
im so glad someone else noticed that :D
Aaaaaahh!!!! Its so cute agh!
this is making me sob omg
A cat's slow blinking makes my heart warm
oh my god i’m crying again
I am honestly really impressed on how the game gave a Ginger a lot of personality without anything fancy, just cat personality, wound licking, meowing, the way he shows affection to the characters that he met, tap-tapping anything he finds interesting and all other cat acts, the developers really made a master piece
I like that the cats never talked too, i'm kinda tired of talking animals now. And i feel like if they did talk, they'd be assholes or something
So twitter told me all of the devs are obsessed with cats and owns multiple of them too, so much so that, in the dev team, the cat to human ratio was easily won over by their pet cats. 🐈 I like to think that it's true, since the game itself just shows how obsessed it is with cats
@@gilkyukim7354 Ah yes, our cat overlords.
The cat meowing and laying beside him at the end was so realistic and the music and Sean's reaction made me tear up.
The DLC that I want to see...
- The cat meeting up with the other cats.
- Clementine getting revenge on Blazer.
- Story of B-12's origin.
I really hope they do something more with this world they’ve built. Maybe not another ‘Stray’ but I definitely want more games in this universe.
The sequel could be a direction continuation. What happened to the city after the dome was opened? How did the robots react and respond? What does the outside beyond the walls look like?
@@tabithaalphess2115 Who funded Hidden City 99?

The speech Clem made about us being Outsiders and her shoo’ing us along the path didn’t make me tear up but it did make me feel conflicting emotions. I always thought that the lack of voice for these robots would make the game feel disconnecting but the more I played and the more personalities I’ve seen made me realized how much I underestimated this game and it’s concept of robots. This game is much more than a game about a cat and I would’ve regretted if I hadn’t bought it. This game deserves all the praise
mad respect for the umizoomi pfp in 2024

Cats show affection through their blinking. Slowly closing their eyes and then opening them again while looking at you means that they love you. So, at the end, that extra long blink at the camera was actually ginger showing affection towards the player.
(Everyone, I'm aware its a sign of trust. Thank you if you were just trying to inform me)
this made me sob even more than i already am.
Literally crying right now 😭
Ginger said “thank you for keeping me safe and helping me on this adventure.”
My heart burst seeing the blink 🥰😍
I'd like to think he was saying goodbye to the city and everyone in the city, and that he loved everyone in the city. Tho I also like him showing affection to the player. :)
To that actually makes me wanna cry even more now
Fun fact about the world design in Stray: The slums and the buildings design were heavily inspired by the real life walled city in Hong Kong (Kowloon Walled City) back then. They described that place is a "perfect playground for cats"
No wonder Jack kept making comments on that (though he spoke about Tokyo and not Hong Kong)
Nice ❤️
No wonder it reminded me so much of Hong Kong, the narrow streets and all the colourful neon plus the style of plants and colours struck me more as Hong Kong and Ho Chi Minh City vs architecture you'd find in Tokyo or Seoul.
The history and "government" of Kowloon is incredibly interesting. I recommend everyone take a look at it.
Living in Hong Kong I definitely felt that, it looked so familiar!!!
I firmly believe B-12 uploaded itself to the main system and is now the compound itself. The little spark at the end kind of makes me think about it too, it's watching over the cat. There's no way this doesn't get a sequel after this much attention and great storytelling.
Don't do this... Don't give me hope
I wanna see a sequel to this. So. Bad. I’ll even take a DLC so I can continue living the magic. I also would love to see a game like this, but with a dog instead of a cat. I’m a cat person 100%, but I would absolutely play a Stray-like game as a dog
I believe that too. I don’t think B-12 is dead, but they don’t have eyes and they’re probably really wide spread compared to that lil drone body.
@@whitefang2312 I know this is totally unrelated to your point, but when you said they don’t have eyes it made me flashback to the giant, blinking red eyes on the walls in that one area. God, I hated everything about those things even if they did nothing but make you uneasy
@@NateSchulte Hmm… maybe if they make a sequel they can give more info on the walls. The signs said “wall 99 the safest city” maybe this hints at there being other walls like this one on earth.
I would love that if there's a sequel they show the robots expanding outside and make paintings, statues for this messiah cat that saved them and gave them freedom. This game is special.
in case you feel sad about B12 - he's alive in the system. the last scene of the monitors flashing outside was his system being alive. he just needs a new host for a body and he's all set!
DLC STRAY PLEASE OMG I NEED MY BOY BACK
Now this makes me think will there be actually stray 2?
Thank god.
this is what I thought too :O
THANK YOU JAY- I was so sad when I watched RT play through this (he was the first letsplayer I watched for ‘Stray’) and witnessed B12 sacrifice himself.
Jack: "maybe the surface IS still uninhabitable."
Cat: lives on the outside surface at the beginning of game

I love this detail: as you’re leaving the cat does what’s called a “slow blink”. Slowly blinking is a cats way of showing affection, kind of like a dog brushing up against you or making eye contact. Even big cats like tigers and jaguars perform their gesture.
Moreover, they’re looking directly at not only the city they’ve saved - but also the player. A final send off, a “Thank’s for playing” by both our feline protagonist and the developers.
Great to know. Just more proof how the developers of this game focused on detail and worked very, very hard.
thats such a beautiful detail thank you for pointing that out!
I noticed that too!
I noticed this too! It was so sweet. For those that catch the reference to real cat language.

@@catndragon You can lay down with him
I like to think that that panel lighting up as the cat left was the part of B12 that still lives on in the system even though his drone body died. He did get to go outside with you and see the sky and that was him acknowledging that and saying farewell to the cat
@@GuidingLightDogs Oh I agree on that! I just feel bad leaving his body behind
Clementines apartment is literally my house goals. A dim, cozy, hippie/boho inspired vibe with plants EVERYWHERE. Along with some neon lights scattered around to make it colorful and vibrant. I’ve never wanted to be in a digital space more in my life.

same, I hope they make a very detailed artbook.
me too! I could just live in that house 24/7 and have the best life ever.
Through this whole playthrough, I liked imagining that whenever B-12 translated what the robots were saying he literally went "Meow, meow meow-meow. Meow."
Now that's a good thought
Developers, get on this. Please 🥺
This is now my headcanon.
now thats all i'll be thinking about
Cats and dogs can understand human languages though, they can recognize many sounds and words. My cat can understand what I'm saying in Romanian and will do almost whatever I ask of him, but not when I speak Italian or English.
As much as I agree that this post-apocalyptic thing about humans doing their own end in the game is, I think a lot of people miss the other point. That humanity still lives on inside the robots, in what they left behind. Yes, they created the Zurks and yes, they created the class system inside the walled city, but the robots also adopted the little things that define humanity. They open cafes and bars, they paint, they dance, they play music and they do just about anything a human can. Heck, you even saw a robot trying to cheat on a game and another smoking to get 'high'. Humanity lives on and that includes all the good things that makes you want to live and have hope.
they even live in cats because domestic cats are a product of the domestication of wild cat species by humans :)
No, it's pretty clear humanity IS the robots. They used the capsules, like the scientist who became B-12, to transfer their consciousness into robot bodies.
@@NeroCM and how come none of them has ANY memory about this or anything else? besides, there's a wall sentence saying "its ben 62532635 days we became sentient" or something like this, stating they were just machines untill developed (or learned from humans) to develop a sense of self
@@NeroCM B-12 is most likely just one of the rare cases of consciousness being transferred. B-12 even refers to the robots the cat met throughout the game as "Companions", as the 'descendants of humanity', and since robots became self-aware(as noted by the person above), it's far more evident to say that humans perished except for perhaps the few special cases like B-12.
@@tainasiman2107 Transferring consciousness can be a pretty big deal. Since the human mind is vastly large it would probably be hard to fit all of your memories and consciousness inside a single chip. So they must have probably only fitted like some parts of their memory.
As to why they dont remember something *more* important like humanity dying, well that depends on what that scientist saved inside that robot body.
but this is a very vague theory, so take it with a grain of salt.
I actually started shedding a lot of tears when b12 died. He was a really good companion.
I really enjoyed watching you play Stray, Jacksepticeye. The first Stray episode is actually my first video of yours that I’ve watched. I just loved your reactions to the things in the game. As a cat lover AND owner, I got really attached to this game. Loved your play through so much.

An adorable detail in the ending is that the cat squints at the camera/back into the facility. Squinting like that is how cats smile and show trust
It’s also how they say “I love you”
But also, that B-12's "consciousness" has gone "into the network" - analogous with limbo or something, the way it made it sound in earlier parts of the game - of the walled city's computer systems. That's what that flashing screen was... so I'm really, really hoping for substantial DLC, or a sequel.

I'm speculating that the outside section of this game wasn't included because the devs are planning on making a sequel where the cat traverses the outside, in search for the original group of cats that we saw at the start of the game. whether that's true or not, the game itself was still magnificent.
I'll be honest, I don't want a sequel. I feel like Cat going on "another adventure" would cheapen this one, and especially, that long, grateful blink of love and thanks at the end.

It'll be interesting to see the same cat or another customizable cat starts another adventure outside full of greenery and robot communities like Horizon with bigger map, more combat mechanics, and a lot more side quests.
My husband was in tears after playing this. He’s played a few shorter games like this and always get into them so much bless him.
I'm sobbing. Your husband has the right of it.
Omg little nightmares2 ending was so sad as well
I cried a few times watching this from the start to end! That cat has been thru hell and came out a hero! How can one NOT cry??
I’ve played this, and I’ve watched my wife and jack play it now, and EACH TIME I get so emotional and teary eyed. I hope there will be a sequel. I hope this game gets GotY recognition
Most of the internet keeps saying that B-12 is definitely dead. But right at the end, when the cat walks off screen, the game draws your attention to a panel that lights up and the controller even vibrates. There is a reason the game wanted you to notice it and I do genuinely believe that it was telling us that B-12 actually survived the transfer. I could be reaching for something, but I don't think the devs did that effect with the panel for nothing.
B-12 survived but he’s stuck inside the computer again
And the dialogue that B-12 says right before shutting the system off is that it COULD fry his system when he makes the transfer so I do believe that B-12 could very much be alive.
It's like In titanfall 2 at the end where you thought bt had died at the end there is the Morse code message
I definitely caught that too! I'm pretty well convinced B12 is alive, in the system. Fingers crossed for a sequel, even if it's another like 5 years lol
it's fitting how b 12 sounds somewhat similar to bt and they have somewhat of the same fate, same trust, and same sadness of death
Ginger's slow blink at the end at the player for helping him! ❤❤❤
this game is phenomenal, im so glad it wasnt just a "hey you play as a cat" gimmick game and it actually had such a deep lore and story to it and INCREDIBLE, BREATHTAKING environments. overall probably my personal best game 2022

I started bawling when ginger cuddled up with B-12. But the moment Jack said, "oh shit everyone down there must be freaking the fuck out" I couldn't help but to laugh. If this isnt proof that jack is just a ball of happy energy I don't know what is
i did too, my eyes are burning but it made me so sad 😭
I cried but then I imagined the roof just falling down and smashing the whole city into rubble lol
Same 😂
@@Connorly800 i don't understand this finale 🤔
What's that mean ??
Me too!! It made me so sad and I legit started to cry!!
Nobody even saying anything about the cat's breathing, It's actually decently accurate
Slightly slower I think than a real cat, but that might be on purpose because people who either don't pay attention to or don't know might get worried the kitty is breathing too fast.
They got a real cat to voice act him so it is all real
its sad but great at the same time to see this is the best game we got this year
Yes when he runs and you stop you can see his breathing slowly going down as he recovers from the sprint
Can we please have a moment of silence for the three RIP cats in the credits:
Riggs
Ivy
Oliver
You are loved and will be missed 😭
The sunlight slowling spreading through the entire city was so satisfying and emotional in some way
The fact that at the end you won't see the other cats waiting for you, since they don't know you're still alive and continued living life makes it more sad but realistic, yknow?
I gotta stop reading the comments before watching the video
idk, I have two cats, a few years back, one of them got lost. The other would search the house high and low, looking and meowing until we finally found the lost one.
@@linren901 Wish my cats were like that 🙁one of them ran away or something but the other cats never really bothered looking for her. They're siblings and they did love playing with each other but once she disappeared it was like she never existed...
Or mabey have another part to the series
I cried the fuck out of my soul over a god damn kitty sleeping next to a dead drone, this was amazing. Also, I hope Ginger could reunite with his/her friends, they surely miss each other.
tbh that's what bummed me about the game. I felt it was advertised as the adventure was a quest to go back to the outside and be reunited with the other cats but we ended up having an outstanding journey to save a population wich was awesome but let's be honest a 5 second animation at the end where they are reunited was missing. My heart broke when he left alone.
Omg same, I was also wondering if Ginger was gonna reunite with the cat fam.
Words cannot express how much I want the soundtrack to this game.🎶
Maybe it's on some music streaming service
It's on spotify
I love Jack’s little “he he heee” giggle whenever he makes the cat do something cute, so wholesome and adorable 🥰🥰🥰
i do that too when anything adorable happens
Interesting to note that the earth was probably never that fucked. Like the birds at the end looked like pigeons, and those aren't front runners for making it through the apocalypse, so maybe there are other walled cities out there with people in them, they just couldn't get into 99 or have gotten stuck inside their own cities for other reasons. Stray 2 could be about rescuing them, so you have to start by getting into the city from the outside.
That's what makes the story really intriguing and interesting to me. I love this game as it is but I definitely wouldn't be opposed to a sequel or a prequel. The world they created is just that interesting.
Get in? Hmm... let's see. Fall down another air duct or something?
@@davidrichards2237 Bruh.💀
This is an amazing take
Honestly, it seems that what happened was a non-zoonotic plague. The animals were fine, they couldn't catch it. The threat they were isolating from was other humans and infected air.
The game: _starts on the surface, where Ginger is from_
Jack, throughout this whole playthrough: We're never gonna see the surface in this game, are we? Oh I bet it's completely desolate and unlivable...
Yup...
Technically didn't start on the surface because the cats were living inside the wall
@@norabarber5341 but we saw vegetation and growth, meaning that it's not desolate anymore.
@@thomasgowin2038 Yeah, but we never actually saw the surface. The plant growth in the wall suggests that it is livable, I'm not arguing that. But we didn't start on the surface, we started inside the wall which is the point I'm making.

@@ntfoperative9432 🤓
I seriously wish they showed the cats reuniting. I’m crying now😭
this is my one peeve on the game and especially the ending. the cat's main motivating factor is getting out to get back to him family. yeah he might have also wanted to help along the way, but that's the main driving force. otherwise why have the cat family at the beginning at all? why not just show the main cat traveling around on his own and falling down into the city? why show a family that gets separated and all and then not have that reunion shown at the end?
@@fionazelmann7541 the only thing i could think of is that they left an open ending for a second game where they reunite. At least I hope that's the case :(
@@fionazelmann7541 i feel the same way! The nonexistence of reunion scene is such a missing link for the cat's personal journey/driving force
Personally, I like it more this way. Yeah I get it, the cat wants to get back to its family/friends but I feel like if that's the route that they chose then it would feel forced considering that the cat was in a whole different area and it would also be very cliche
@@gdottothegamer1001 I agree, this ending feels much more open ended and like there is much more potential for where the cat could go from here. I would've loved to see them reunite, but it just wouldn't make sense. Plus, though the motivating factor is trying to get back home, that isn't the theme of the game itself.

@@MrGoose-ey7sg he doesnt mind, so neither should you
I really like the immersion you get simply by the fact that you play as a cat, because the gamer instinct to poke around in every single corner, interact with every object in the space even if it's just breaking/knocking things over, climb as high as you possibly can... it all makes perfect sense in the context of the story, because that is literally what a cat would do. It's a great concept to build a game around, because it allows the environments and worldbuilding to expand so much further and into unexpected little nooks and crannies. The artists designing the environments really get to show off the work they put into the details despite the very straightforward, linear storyline, because the player is allowed to explore it so naturally.
the fact that the game didn’t end with the cat reuniting with his other cat friends that was the one thing i was looking forward to 😭😭😭😭😭
same!!!
It would be a little on the nose, but I thought they'd be right outside the door, lol

And they're gonna rebuild the civilization
and most importantly GETTING BACK TO OUR CAT FAMILY 😭😭
As heartbreaking and sad I found B-12’s death to be, I think it was important as it served as a symbolism for how humanity’s time has come to an end and that it’s time to let the new era of Earth’s inhabitants care for the planet, which in this case are the companions. Hopefully they will be able to create a cleaner and healthier environment than their predecessors so that there won’t ever be another lockdown scenario like this again.
I still wonder if Ginger ever reunited with the other cats though…..

Jack do you know that “Neco Corporation” literally means “Cat’s Corporation” in Japanese and the developers took a lot of inspiration from Jorean (Japanese and Korean) that’s why most of the symbols we see mostly are mixture of kanji characters and Thank you for playing this game.
isnt it neko and not neco
I speak Japanese but only realized that right before reading your comment 🤣🤣 i feel so dumb
it doesnt translate, but obviously took inspiration from Japanese word neko which means cat in English
Yes I too got it when I was halfway through the video
@@Pacifistsoldier yep but maybe they just wanted to make it like an Easter egg or something
Honestly, I could see a sequel to this game where the cat traverses the outside world to find their family. I could definitely see this, and this is one of the few games of this genre where I’d love a sequel! It’s such a neat concept
A wise man once said "just because you can doesn't mean you should" I understand what you mean because I loved it. But it is perfect the way it's ended
Yes, please. Personally, the thing that kept me watching/I felt was driving the story wasn't "get back outside" it was "get back to our family," so the ending just made me really sad.
@@atlasthelilghostman4766 yes exactly!! i was really hoping i'd even get just a tiny snippet of the cat finding their friends again. no shade towards the ending nonetheless though
actual outside predators (wild animals)
finding b12 in the system, hopefully
searching for the family
finding a new cat friend to travel with
i like the possibilities. i hope maybe they could create anything as good as this one. id definitely enjoy that
I hope the second part of this game would be the cat trying to find his family and how robots are learning how to live with humans visersa and the complications the robots will face and how the cats will help. I really hope there would be a part two of this game
I stood by B-12 for a good 10-15 minutes and cried by his side. B-12 will always have a special place in my heart. RIP B-12
This game seems eerily set up for a sequel and i'm ok there being a sequel if it happens, the little computer spark at the end could mean that B12 is alive within the system, we never actually got to see the outside or see the character's reactions to the outside or anything like that, we know that there is probably other walled cities out there because it's named walled city 99, we don't know that much about the infection other than the fact that it happened and all the humans died. It kind of reminds me of The Maze Runner trilogy, in the fact that it's similar with a post-apocalyptic world with a cast of character trapped in a massive walled structure for some reason
This seems INCREDIBLY likely. I feel like there's no way this isn't what happened.
I’m just worried about the cat reuniting with his freind
This was their first game so it's likely we could. Although it's not necessary
Yea I’m pretty sure they got sent back to the network like earlier when they said it was like being back in the network when they were shut down for a while. I REALLY hope so because I’d love a sequel and really want them to survive too. And also explore more of the city and/or outside/other cities and reunite with the other kitties by the end.
plus, like, the whole reason for going outside was to get back to the cat's friends, and there was no reuniting at the end. plus, once the cat gets outside, how will it find its way back to them? so it really seems set up for a sequel, to traverse the world outside and get back to its friends
I really loved the detail of Ginger in the jail where he had the marks on his fur from his little backpack, the designers did amazing work on this game
I didn’t even notice that before. That is so cool

The thing that made the graphics of this masterpiece of a game so immersive was probably the creative decision of making all NPC characters into robots, thus rendering hard surfaces at almost all times, and because that's where Unreal Engine really works well, it often times looked more like a full-blown Pixar movie rather than a real-time-rendered video game. It was one of the best decisions the devs could've made (other than making the player into a cute cat of course).
The use of depth of field was masterful as well.

About the trash eating bacteria, if I remember correctly from another playthrough, that's how the Zurks actually came to be. They were supposed to eat trash, then they evolved and started eating things they weren't supposed to. You actually found one of the notes about it in Doc's lab, where it said 'the Zurks are no longer under our control' or something like that.
B12 says that in one of the memories in the tower
To the ending. I am 90% sure B12 is alive and uploaded himself back into the system but was unable to communicate with us. That very ending with the screens flashing in the corner was B12. You have to remember everything in a video game, like most art, is there for a reason. Whether it's to add ambiance, or a story element or simply a light for a dark corner... Everything is manually placed and coded in for a reason. With that knowledge that means they showed that for a brief second for a reason. Stray DLC coming?

The one thing I wish was the game showing the cat somehow finding his friends and reuniting with them after all the things he went through. Other than that, gorgeous game! The roof opening was truly a sight to behold.
I honestly felt so cheated when I didn't get to reunite with my family at the end. I would've liked if it faded to black the way it did, then it brought you back to where you fell and you have to traverse the same path you took at the start before you were separated, back to where you started the game, where your family is waiting for you. I was looking forward to reuniting with them the entire game, even though I thoroughly enjoyed the journey I'm still a bit salty 😅

@@beedlebur Animals' sentimentality is stil no backed up in science.. It is realy hard to prove because animals are all about instinct and if there are times pets "love" their owners it will be an isolated case.

"Ginger" was specifically modeled after one of the cats on the team...markings and all.
This is probably why there is no customization. I heard this info from Jackson Galaxy ( The cat behavior expert and host of Animal Planet's "My Cat From Hell" ),
whom has a video of him not only playing the 1st 15 minutes of the game and explaining each behavior and just gushing over the game, but, apparently, he was in contact with The studio! He has some good inside info!

Ginger is a good cat
BRO MY CAT FROM HELL WAS BASICALLY MY CHILDHOOD
I, as well as many, almost legit cried when B-12 died, like geez, its so sad, but good that he is doing everyone a favor, but we will miss him, from now and forever
I cried really hard but then I saw the computer screen light up as the kitty was going outside and I suspect they were sent back to the network like they said earlier how it felt like they were back in the network when they were shut down for a while. I suspect a sequel or expansion will be coming and I am super hyped if there is. I really hope so. I want to rescue them and also explore more and reunite with the other kitties by the end. We also never learned much about the giant eyes.
I kind of wonder if they eyes are what remains of humanity somehow or something. They aren’t susceptible to the UV light like the zurks so likely the opening of the city wouldn’t kill them off even if they weren’t in the sewer. They seem like something else entirely.

I love how Jack even talks about the message of this game. That's incredibly fucking important. It highlights the dangers of an oppressive, authoritative state along with corporate greed in their most extreme forms. I don't even care about the whole cat aspect of this game or anything. It was just so damn amazing and actually made me so emotional thinking about the desperation of human beings down there and how they've transferred consciousness somehow to an automated robot population. Everything was just so beautifully done.
I love the cat aspect added to everything cus i think it kind of shows a bond between humanity and cats. Also i like to think that since this is in the future that cats are evolved and have bigger brains hence why the cat is so damn smart. I wish b12 last lines should’ve been something like “you were the best boy ever i wish i had hands to pet you”
I guess but he doesn't talk about those things he just regurgitates outdated and out-of-touch talking points.
@@ndorfin9425 true but he still implies that this game pretty much shows a possibility for our near future -- one where, inevitably, even among robots, prejudice and discrimination still exists.
It’s also amazing how when the game was announced people were like “wow cute cat game” and when they played they left with a existential crisis. It’s a good thing too. People don’t except this types of messages from such a “simple” concept. I wish I could play this game myself but unfortunately I do not have a PlayStation, or rather, I have one, but it’s a PlayStation 3 so… my brother was thinking about buying a PlayStation 4 and if he does I’ll save money to buy this game. Even knowing the end I really want to experience it and all the secrets. One of my favourite things to do in video games is talking to NPC and just discovering stuff about the game, I love side quests perhaps a bit more than main quests. Of topic, but recently I finally got the chance to play Breath of the Wild for the first time, and it took me a month to finish the game, I could’ve finished the game in a week but got so into doing all the side quests that I forgot to progress with the main one. NPCs and Side Quests help build the game’s atmosphere, it tells and shows you things that otherwise you wouldn’t see. While you don’t need them to finish the game, and if you don’t want to do them you really don’t need to, if you want to learn more about the universe you’re playing in, it’s an amazing way to tell and show a story.

I kinda wonder if the other city’s fell too? They were all sealed up pretty tight, the only reason everyone died in city 99 is because of the plague, so I wonder if the humans are still alive in the other city’s or if they all ended up dying too
I think there is huge potential for a second stray game. The city was listed as city 99, that is at least 98 other sealed cities out there in the world to have their stories told. Obviously it wouldn’t follow the same story that the first stray did, but I can’t wait to see what else this dystopian world has to offer.
A sequel could feature a different stray animal, with a totally different play style, city, and level design! Imagine exploring as a dog, rat, racoon, possum, monkey... B12 did say that the backpack was designed for "small quadrupeds", after all, not just cats!

Cat facts💕:
Cats have scent glands in their paws and when they scratch or knead while purring, they are leaving their scent. It helps them stay oriented as well as claims a territory for themselves. yes, when a cat kneads on you (making biscuits) they are marking you as theirs and leaving their scent on you.
Also, another reason cats love boxes, is that it is warm. The enclosed space helps regulate their body temp. That is why the love crevasses and small areas.
And finally, (referencing the first vid in this series) cats don't do things to be mean or out of spite. They cannot comprehend emotions like that. They might pick up and understand that you give them attention and it gets exciting when they do naughty stuff, but they don't quite understand what it means to feel guilty or the concept of being "naughty". They just want to know that they are important to you because they depend on you for life, emotional comfort, and safety. If they are breaking stuff or getting into stuff that they shouldn't, it is because they are BORED. Get a few good play sessions in with toys throughout the day (preferably before mealtime to simulate hunting) and they will be happy and feel like a successful predator that they are. And they won't dig through your recycling as often....sigh.
Go hug your cats!!!
