I’m watching Contrapoints’ play through of the game at the moment and I totally didn’t make the connection that Seamus and Doc are references to Marty McFly and Doc Brown based on the way they’re dressed and styled.
The Doc robot makes a "1.21 gigahertz" comment within 30 seconds of you first meeting him

vvv Totally understandable, carry on :)

I’ll be straight with you, a lot of what he said just slid over my brain because CAT. The cat is doing things and being cute and helpful and meowing at things until they do as he commands.

I finished it yesterday. I loved it

My only complains is that is too shot, and maybe a bit too linear. But in any case wonderful unique little game

Also, for me it worked perfectly with Steam Proton, if anyone else here is on linux and want to try it

No lie, you really do.

see I absolutely agree, but it's less sad because we know b12 is in the city network again, and the outside walls do have doors he can interface with. So in your headcanon you can easily say he helped the kitty find their family.

But yeah a dlc or sequel would be preferable. One where we help b12 find a new body so he can see the outside :(

Do we know that? Is that what is implied by the one monitor flickering on at the end? because it seemed like he stayed in the drone until it died.

Yeah I believe that's what's implied. He said his software 'could' get overridden but the process 'would' be too much for the body. It's partly an educated guess and partly cope because I can't handle not finding the kitty family and b12 being permanately gone without ever seeing the outside.

Did anyone else need like ten attempts to get the basketball into the bin? I swear you have to be absolutely dead-on accurate in your run-up, or else it goes wide and you need to reload a checkpoint.

Sometimes I sit and think, and sometimes I just sit.

I finished this game last night and man, the ending bummed me out! I don't get to reunite with the other cats? What? How? A chance at reuniting with them was the cat's main motivation throughout the game! how did they not resolve that?

They are crazy if they are not working right now on an expansion where this will be solved. Everyone who finished the game said that

edit:
An expansion where our tabby meets his cat friends again and they go on some adventure on the outside would also allow another thing a lot of people has been asking: co-op multiplayer. It would sell like hot cakes

My idea is the expansion is you and your pack of cats, running the length of the city again. Just being cats and sweet and polite.

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."


Just finished the story today. Overall I really enjoyed the game, didn't love absolutely everything about it, but I'm impressed that this game was created by a team of just a few people. It looks like it's been a tremendous success just based on relative exposure and Steam reviews, so I think Stray 2 will probably happen.

Okay I love at the end, the cat looks at the player and gives them the slow-blink.

Re: the ending, my assumption was since the inside of the walls overgrown with vegetation and cats aren't going to be surviving for centuries or millennia just in there, that area is relatively easily accessible from outside, it's just the inside of the city that was sealed off. Finding them wouldn't have been that hard, the city's stated to be pretty small across (I think there's a bit that says it's ~400m, although it looks bigger?). But yeah if not an onscreen reunion even just hearing another meow at the end would've been nice.

If you nap in Antvillage it zooms allllll the way out.



Any other nap spots that give you good views?

Drinkslinger posted:

Ending question: Why would opening the roof deactivate the Sentinels?

B12 said he had complete control of all city systems and mentioned earlier the sentinels were controlled by the control room people, I assume he issued a shutdown command.

He says that he knew that the power required to disable the security would be more than the drone body could handle, and after that that hooking into the control system and overriding the city controls and lockdown could also destroy his software.

P. sure the sequel will be journeying back to your kitty family and freeing B/12 from the system on the way.

Game rules and from now on I refuse to play any game that doesn't have a dedicated meow button.

Ok the scratching achievement is bullshit. Not because it's hard or anything but because you can't do Chapter Select and get it that way. I just went through each chapter via chapter select and scratched the ones I know I missed and it didn't pop. Now I'm going to have to waste time on the speedrun :argh:

You can't skip cutscenes. That's the real problem.

Anyone mod their kitty? There are some "interesting" options out there.

This reminds me, I was actually kinda surprised by how flat the cat fur looked, you can do really good fur with shaders these days and the developers are clearly adept at visual polish.

You absolutely can, you just need to wait for the game to autosave afterwards which sometimes means playing for another minute or two.

Good to know I just hosed up and it wasn't the game. I should have thought to go on to the next checkpoint and have it autosave. I still got it by doing it on my speedrun.

What's everyone's times for their speedrun? I got 1h37m3s but I hosed up a lot and it was far from optimal. Gonna try again this weekend. The leaderboards for PS5 on speedrun.com are pretty barren, I'm #10 right now (didn't submit so I'm not on there technically).

This game is fun to speedrun, I'm gonna try again this weekend for a faster time.
