Four years ago,a few GIFs and video clips featuring a mysterious game surfaced online. They depicted a cat wandering around a futuristic take on Kowloon Walled City in Hong Kong,but details were nonexistent. Dubbed HK Project,the title resurfaced yesterday during Sony’s PlayStation 5 reveal event. Now called Stray,the game will be out next year for both PS4 and PS5,followed by a PC release.
The teaser shows a cat wandering around a robot-occupied and neon-infused city,crossing roads,climbing pipes and entering buildings. While there are no firm details about gameplay,it seems clear that the game will mainly focus on exploration. According to a blog post from one of Stray’s developers,it will also include puzzle solving and action scenes. The cat is wearing a glowing backpack,but it’s not clear what purpose it serves. Does it hold the feline’s catnip? Is it a jetpack? We’ll have to wait for more information to find out.
Slinking around a city as a cat seems like such an obvious idea for a game,but it’s rarely been done before -- Peace Island comes to mind,and Rockin’ Kats is a cartoony,8-bit take on the concept. It’s good to see that this project is alive and well -- and that it will be out next year.
