This week, two of the most passionate communities online — gamers and cat lovers — collided with the release of a new video game that lets you play as an adorable orange tabby cat.
"Stray", created by indie French game company BlueTwelve Studio and published by Annapurna Interactive, was released on Tuesday for PlayStation 4 and 5, and PC. It quickly become an online phenomenon, delighting humans and cats alike.
We had to know: Was it really the cat's meow? So we tried it out for ourselves, paying $30 to download it for a PlayStation 5. It was quickly apparent why "Stray" appeals to gamers (who like cats), people who simply like cats, and actual cats. It's beautifully animated and offers a respite from video games that are often noisy and action-packed. Also, playing as a cat is unusual and amusing. You might even call it a-meow-zing.
