Yeah, just move the camera around and the reflections will disappear. Quick way to check.
Thank you for the kind words. I've got a therapist, but you're right, I realized last night I've never put time into processing and discussing it with anyone. I'm going to do that while the wounds are reopened.
Enjoying this but whish I would of payed more attention to where everyone is for the sidequests lol...beats me finding quickly where the Grandma was for one of them.

I'm wondering this as well. I missed the very first one in the entire game and haven't missed any since.
You don't get anything other than a trophy for that. Those sub memories just help flesh out the story more.
Only been playing for almost 2 hours but I'm loving it, love all the interactions and details, I'm having a bit of performance issues but my pc is a bit old so probably that.
I feel like such a baby for admitting this but I actually cried on the beginning lol when the main cats get separated from it's group, and then you can still hear them meow calling you :(

Cool, thanks. Guess I'll leave that for a second playthrough.
On another note, anyone noticed the cat's reactions in the beginning when the backpack was put on it? Exactly like I see in videos - the cat just flops over and refuses to move ROFL.
Yeah, a poor soul on the dev team had to spend so many hours watching cat videos.
if you get all of B12's main and sub memories you get the trophy and a cool new backpack
The art direction in this game is fucking phenomenal. Lighting, animations, man. They knocked it out of the park. Just finished installing the transceiver and I'm honestly shocked at how tense this otherwise adorable game can get.
The cat animations are on point. I couldnt stop laughing after getting the backpack. This team cats. Just loving spamming the meow button too.

I see. Not bad but I hope they can make a sequel and put in some deeper rewards for things like these.
Solid little game. Enjoyed playing through it the past couple of days. Not anything mind blowing, but a decent time and a perfect game to blow through on a subscription service.
Finished today with a playtime of 9:37. There was quite a bit of exploring and idle time (sleep trophy), so probably more around eight hours. Loved the environment and music. Gameplay was okay but limited. Definitely could use some enemy variety. The moment you get the backpack was *chef's kiss*.
Going through trophy cleanup now, and one of them took me 45 minutes of attempts to get, hahaha.

You can replay the chapter you missed one in and then go back to the latest chapter. Just make sure to hit an autosave point in the chapter you revisit so it counts it.
Platinum done, what an awesome game. I will probably do it again on the PS4 version since I liked it so much.
I had this happen the 2nd time I did it, but not the 1st time. Was pretty weird.

Finished! Took me just under six hours total.
The stealth sections were definitely the worst, specifically the ones at the end of the prison section that require you to bait sentinels, and then the final chase. By far the most frustrating parts of the game. And I think the last act of the game felt comparatively undercooked compared to everything before it, as others have already mentioned; it almost feels like the devs were worried they were taking too long to get to the point and didn't want you to mess around too much once you leave the Slums.
Still, it worked really well for me; clearly a lot of thought was put into having the protagonist be a cat and what that would mean for how you interact with the world and the NPCs. There's a little bit of stretching you have to do to convince yourself that a cat would care about anything that's going on or really understand what everyone wanted you to do, but I'm just going to chalk that up to Lassie/Littlest Hobo syndrome where animals magically understand exactly what's needed of them at any given moment.
Do you know if this also applies if you've finished the game? I didn't see any options to load your last save but maybe that's hidden under Start Game.

I think that's a section that people make more difficult than it needs to be. I'm assuming you're talking about the one where you have to get two sentinels locked up, right? All you need to do is keep the door on the left locked as it is and then gather both of the sentinels, run in side, and then just run through the openings on the bottom of the locked door on the left (I don't think some notice that you can do that, but you can). Then just run over and hit lock on the other side and it's done. That's something you really need to do with the speedrun trophy since it can get you hung up if you're trying to lock both doors.
The problem is that when I have both sentinels aggroed, the likelihood of getting murdered goes up significantly; in the end I baited them individually using both doorways (and keeping both doors open), and basically spent as little time inside the cell as possible to make sure the sentinels couldn't get a bead on me for long. I did NOT know you could actually run underneath the doors without opening them, but the way I did it, I'm not sure that actually would've helped.
I wish the game focused more on condensed self-contained story and exploration areas like the slums or the last city. My enjoyment of the game plummeted with every chase scene or stealth sequence. By the time it ended I was ready for it to be done.
I can't help but feel that I would've enjoyed the game more if I played as B12 but with legs or something so you couldn't just fly anywhere.

It's a fantastic game, I love the aesthetics and viewing the world from the cat's point of view. It's just 'slightly' too short.
I wish there was a 3rd city area to explore in a similar way to the first one. The second area also did not have enough interactive elements or meaningful quests which is a shame.

Pros:
- Chill gameplay and doing cat stuff is great.
Cons:
- I wish it were a bit more rpg:ish. Like having an inventory on the middle button for example / make doing cat stuff impact your gameplay: Scratch your claws to get more attack power against the zurks / sleep to improve stammina like jump height and speed / cuddle to add more health.
- Do not like the droid at all, it was better when it was just you by yourself and besides, the droid is in the way of your view.
- Cat must have a light to see in the dark? Uhm....?
I hope for a sequel they do it more like the above... like that shark game I forgot the name of :)

Really enjoying Stray so far. Very charming game and I love the Sci-Fi world they have created.
Also my cat approves lol

Just read you can't switch the cat's color :(
Makes me sad tbh, I wanted to make a black cat as an homage to my girl Nova who passed away this January after giving me so much happiness for 18 years.
Still naming the cat Nova in the game, and still gonna have a great time of course :)
See you space cowgirl

Made it to Midtown and wow! Midtown is exactly what I picture a cyberpunk city/town to look like. The locations in this game are amazing! Better cyberpunk game then Cyberpunk 2077 lol.
I love this game so much. GOTY for me right now.

I'm really liking this game and always nod at the accurate cat behaviors but it's making me wish there was a Tokyo Jungle remake. It's so hard to not think about since TJ even has a sci-fi element. Then again, with how graphics are today, the violence would prolly be a tad bit upsetting lol.
There is a place to rest in the Slums way up on a rooftop and I watched the slow camera zoom out as far as it could,it was pretty awesome seeing that big area unfold slowly,nice atmosphere and look...reminded me of those long in between street alleys I use to play in as a kid(it wasnt in slums but still).
Lovely game...heading to a chase scene probably now though,not crazy about those.

Just finished it and really enjoyed it. Maybe being in the early PS5 videos meant some people were expecting something more AAA, but it was exactly what I was expecting in terms of length and tone from an Annapurna published game.
The scenes at the end were stunning and very rewarding too.

I am loving this game!! About 2/3 of the way through and really taking my time with it. I find myself just sitting in the environments and soaking in all the detail. Panning the camera around, looking all the way up, using the zoom to see even more details. The world is just so wonderfully realized.
The quietly beautiful moments separated by the chase moments remind me a lot of Mirror's Edge and I loved that game for its environment and world as well. Also getting that Inside vibe others have mentioned along with the ambient droning soundtrack in those moments.
Certainly one of the games I will come back to in order to be in this world again, for years to come.

What a great game, but man it really makes my cat anxious 😆
Guess it's headphones only from now on.

I never had a cat. I always had a dog.
I am absolutely loving everything about the game. I think it's a work of art.
I want to have a cat now lol
