Playing Stray with my cat-obsessed wife 

I'm not sure if anyone knows this but when Evan said "I hope this game does well, and inspires more cat like games" At the beginning, I remember there was an article that I read that said this game was THE MOST wish listed game EVER in the history of steam, and from what I've seen so far, I think it'll do amazing.

I just realised another ingenious aspect of this setup: we can't understand most of the signs in this world, preserving the element of surprise. In-universe, that's easily explained by the post-human nature of the world, but it's perfect because cats don't understand human writing, so we become more sympathetic to the "pawtagonist's" POV.

When the backpack went on the cat and she immediately went FLOP, I had to pause the vid because I was laughing so hard

The kittys cry when they first fell sent me into a panic attack the first time i heard that 😭 im legit crying rn

I felt sad when the cat fell and started to limp. I cried a little. Being the mum of 3 cats can make you feel protective.

Everyone is playing Stray right now, but there is no one who I want to experience this game with more than you two, because both of you truly appreciate the CATNESS of this game! :D Loved the first part and can't wait for the next one. And no, I totally didn't cry with Katelyn in the beginning...

I was playing this yesterday too and the fall and the scared and lonely meows and the limping all combined made me start uncontrollably SOBBING. Could just be all the pregnancy hormones but I just could not stop crying 😅

When animating the game they had to base it of a actually kitty for movements and stuff and that cat was called Oscar so I think you should call him Oscar

My orange cat Fluffy has never watched TV this intently before. It's crazy to see his reaction to what's going on. 😂

please keep playing, this is a lovely game. And remember to wear the "You are a CAT CAT CAT" tshirt next time

I’m gonna be totally honest, when I was playing and the cat fell into the sewers, I straight up ugly cried.

I saw the notification for this stream while I was playing the game yesterday! I decided to play it myself to avoid spoilers, and I loved it. I definitely didn't play the whole thing in only a day. I hope you guys enjoyed being a cat as much as I did!

i love this game, glad to see u fall down the catdrain too. imagine a multiplayer vertion. the first 5 mins of the game is the happiest ull be. i was lowkey crying then too katelyn. heartbreaking that u can hear the others calling for u. love how it started with katelyn playing.

Watching you play this game is why we love you guys! Katelyn holding her heart while Evan comforts her while watching a fake cat get hurt. The empathy and sweetness of you 2 is just wonderful to watch in a world seemingly filled with so much hate and anger. Keeps happy, loving, and gaming.😘

Kaitlyn : I’m going to cry Me : already am

Most of the orange cats I have had it is the male ones that aren't that bright. The female I have now is fairly smart. I also had an Orange Manx when I was younger that was fairly smart, so maybe it is certain breeds.

sad i missed the live, this game looks so cute. Love how they keep saying orange cat is girl, cause 5 out of 6 orange cats are male.

This game was so good considering that it’s not a “blockbuster” title. I hope there’s a Stray 2!

I'm sorry for this cursed image but robot grandma making clothing from electrical wiring is like a human making them from internal organs. Just had to share :)

Orange kitteh should be called 'Purrsimmon' or 'Beans' because it's the color of the baked beans phone case 😂

9:30 minutes into the game and i'm CRYING!!!

Finally someone who meowed at the cameras, I was so disappointed from other videos that never did it.

Could you imagine playing this in VR? That would be crazy!!!

Oh, I'm so happy you're playing this! I've been craving since I first heard about it, but I can't play videogames myself due to poor hand-eye coordination/motor skills. Thank you! Your cooperative play style adds adorableness to the already adorable game.

I've never clicked faster on a video! You guys were the first people I thought of when I saw this game for the first time.

This game is totally reminiscent of a game called 'Rain World.' It's a pretty cool game animated by AI, and it has lots of story to it if you search hard enough. It also has the theme of an abandoned civilisation, and exploring it trying to find your family (though i don't think our slug-cat's story is as awfully tragic compared to that first scene haha) There's a DLC coming out where you can locally co-op a campaign and have more modes. I recommend it a lot, however sometimes you're stuck in a cycle of death until you find a new way or get lucky- though there are ways to un-stuck yourself if you're totally trapped.

Evan- *sees sheet music* ‘ooh music sheet’ Oh no.. it’s ‘magnetite’ all over again 😂😂😂

I had an orange cat. Saffron was a girl cat, which is super rare for orange cats. She was very smart, and could open the cabinet door under the kitchen sink by putting her paws on top and walking backwards. As a kitten, she would climb my leg to get picked up.

I like the name Cypher for the cat! Really enjoying the game, thanks for playing :)

I have two orange girlies, a year apart in age. The youngest doesn't like leaving the ground much and the older one flies - the only cat I've lived with capable of taking down drapes and blinds from the top. Both are clever enough to achieve their preferred latitude.

Evan: what’s your dream? Katelyn: to be a cat My therian @ss: 🧐🤨

i like the story and the way the game looks as much as the fact as the game's main characters are a cat and a drone. the graphics are gorgeous as well as the story being very fit for fans of the dystopian genre like me. conclusion, get it asap. it has something for everyone

Call him jonesy as a reference from the alien films

2:10:45 That cat cameo appearance. . . . 🙂 It just made this playthrough perfect. 😀

It's ok Katelyn, I cried when kitty fell too!

I'm like 40 minutes into this, and I CAN'T STOP WATCHING!!🤣 Yep, I'm a cat person too. I may just have to get this game to keep me and my Pookie entertained (and I hardly EVER do games). This is so accurate it's ridiculous!😄

9 minutes in and I'm not sure I can keep watching! Poor kitty just fell down and I feel so sad that it is alone and hurt 😿😿😿

randomly came across your video. You guys seem to genuinely enjoy gaming together. I'm thoroughly jealous. Good work. Can't imagine a better duo to stream this particular game.

This game is truly an emotional rollercoaster. It is really pulling my soul-threads. Note: Do not play while intoxicated. It *will* harm You.

I can't never get tired of watching people laughing over how cute and interesting this game is

That is the best ASMR in the world. Going to sleep listening to a cat purring.

Billy Joel song Only The Good Die Young sprang up in my head the moment Evan Cat Cat Cat Cat. Then I sang "I enjoyed being a cat,cat,cat,cat,cat,cat, youve oaughta know by now!" 😂 So adorable!

I’m also cat obsessed. Thanks for entertaining me while I’m home sick with COVID for the first time. I haven’t been doing well at all

I totally cried a little after the beginning fall too T^T it was just too sad.

I think the big memory chunks are for story memories While the rest is more city/lore memories

"Orange cats are dumb" The himbo of the cat world is more accurate. They're not the smartest, but every orange cat I've owned has been emotionally intelligent in that they always knew when I was upset and either got really cuddly with me or would act extra goofy to cheer me up. I love orange cats so much.

Handed the controller to my wife and she had an awesome time scratching then Shit out of a couch in a small library, lol. Love this Game! It Purrrfect!

Terra, because it's orange like terracotta? Or maybe Mr.Toffee more like your style XD

I was an hour and fifteen minutes into this video when I decided I didn't want to know the whole story yet..so I bought it and I'm back here after 8 hours. I've finished it, so I'll continue watching this video now :)

When the devs made this game they used those small white motion capture balls that used to be connected to a full body suit when ppl does motion capture but here they somehow managed to keep those on the cats and record every motion the cats made.

I already know this will be Chaotic and super cute lol love u guys!

I don’t usually watch these types of videos in one long sitting, but I did for this one, and I don’t regret it.

I love your videos and they always make my day, thank you for doing what you're doing

I once had a ginger cat whose fur went almost pinkish tone. When light hit

you did great, I died on the first zurk gauntlet several times, you got it in one

I guess someone already pointed out the cat that inspired the game is called Murthaug. No reason to not find a new name. If you want to keep the reference going the name could be Roger, Danny, or Glover.

I’ve enjoyed watching both you and Simply Nailogical play this game. I think both of you equally love your kitties which makes this perfect!

That cat is obviously Jonesy from Alien and Aliens. Orange cat that survives everything!

no game ever makes me cry but this one does

Your cat is gorgeous. Enjoyed watching your play through. Will look for the next episode.

So fun! 😁👍 Why do I feel that the cat will end up being called Cheeto? You know, cause it's orange and Evan was snacking on Cheetos during the stream? But maybe not because you have the modded MC dragon. Frito? Dorito? Cheezit? Hmm... Of course, you could go with something like Nacho or Cheddar (as in the cheese). Or perhaps Sunkist, to continue on a different side of the food theme, lol. Cayenne, Tabasco, Paprika or Pumpkin Spice if you want something spicy. 😜 Maybe go with Honey, Mango, Apricot, Mandarin (as in the orange), Creamsicle or Fanta if you want a sweet name. How about a nice golden Tater Tot? 😂 Or Sweet Potato? Maybe something Tangy? Someone is gonna say Ginger but I say that's too generic! Gingersnap is slightly better. Snickerdoodle? 😂 Maybe you want to stay away from the food related names this time. Maybe character names? In this case, you have decided the cat is a girl somehow so I'll skip over Oliver (which might have worked but this orange kitty isn't really orphaned) and go to something like Merida (because Brave girl, lol). Crookshanks would also have been great if you hadn't already decided she's a girl. Same for Puss (as in Puss in Boots) but also because that name might be trouble, though Boots might work. 😅 I like Charmander too but also more male name. Tigger too. Oh, Sandy! Though she's not under the sea, and not a squirrel, lol. Nala is a pretty name but maybe too obvious. Ariel? Misty? Xena! "Random" girl names that fit Amber, Topaz, Dinah, Daphne, Annie, Lucy, Fiona, Carmen, Tilda or Tabitha (the tabby)? Honestly though, I think you should go with something gender neutral like Blazer (as in trailblazer) because that's what brave kitty is doing! Penny might work too since the robots were searching for valuable pennies in the trash piles. Oh, Sunset, Sunshine or just Sun (as in leading to finally see it) or Flame! 😅 Maybe Scorch? Sahara? Inferno? Firewall? Firecracker? Sassafras (the sassy), lol. Magma? Citrine? Dandelion? I've wandered off into just orange things.... 😅 BTW, Kumquat would be a funny name too! Okay, I'll stop now. Enjoy living your cat life! 👋😁

"This music is too loud" lol sounds like my grandparents. Nice vid.

There is someone who you can pay to make a custom made skin for the cat so you can make it look like your pet cat.

The farm by my house had a cat who could climb straight up a vertical ladder in the cow milking area.

Everybody wants to be a cat, Because a cat's the only cat, who knows where it's at.

I had a cat named Boo! He looked just like Joobie, that's actually why I started watching your videos.

You should name the cat Ripley since she's a cool science cat kicking alien butt 😎😺

I'm super in love with the eye look Katelyn has been doing recently

This was so unbelievably fun!! I cannot play video games as easily any longer so this is a real treat! I see that just as I’m finishing this another vid dropped, weeeee! Thanks for all you do and share with us. You bring smiles to the world 🧡🖤🧡🖤

I’ve know about this game for so long and I wanted to play it before any RU-vidrs but now fours of my favorite RU-vidrs have played it

08:33 “Long. Live. The. King!”

Please play more!

T.I.L. Cats meowing in a game make my basset hounds go nuts.

I KNEW you guys would absolutely love this game, the cat animations our godly.

I’m not is gamer but am so happy this game exists bc it took balls to go forward with this projects and am so happy that it’s a success. Such a unique concept that separates it from so many other games

Lil cheeto for the orange cat name!

danm, that hit hard- i really wasn't expecting that 8:41

Katelyn and I have the same snuggly black pants lol. This kitty is so cute! Trotting around holding those little buckets 😍 my heart is bursting from the cuteness

What I've been doing the last two nights is playing a little bit of stray and then watching up to the same place on the stream :D It's interesting to see how other people play games. I'm NOT a gamer and I don't even have a game pad xD I was using the keyboard the first two times I played and finally switched to joy con and it was sliiiightly better. But either way I still suck at games so I'm slow and keep panicking and dying every time the creatures come out

I felt the chaos goose in this one XD

So excited for this!

We have neighbours with an orange cat that keeps coming into our house either through the front door or through the window upstairs when he/she is on the roof I don't know if it's a boy or girl but either way it's a ginger cat with a semi permanent blep that does some weird stuff and doesn't seem very smart

They could have added 18 hours of game play by adding how much a cat sleeps in the day.

the way your robot companion in the game talks sound like its from chibi-robo

holy shit, I am sitting here screaming at my screen for you to run away from those blob rat things and freaking out. My heart was racing.

I just got done watching specialedd’s play-through of “stray” and it was great. I hope you two like it, and let’s just say that you will most likely cry at the end. Beautiful game.

That was not soup, it was RAMen, lol!

when you guys said the moves were so cat-like, i wanted to comment that the game actually put like the stuff that tracks movements on a real cat and that a lot of the movements in the game are based off that cat

I am loving this and need more of this kind of game

I saw your video and had to get the game myself. I started to play it yesterday. The game is great. My cat JJ watches me play, and when the cat meowed in the game, JJ meowed back lol. I just love cats. ❤️

I watched that live 😂❤️

This game is EVERYTHING. Think I might play it a second time, soon.

If you don't think "long live the king" as stray is hanging on the ledge we can't be friends

I'm reminded of love, death, and robots on Netflix lol, the first episode at the end

3:58 Yeah, very strong Ghibli vibes. Not the art style, but the overgrown stonework could totally be _Laputa_ (and the title font looks kinda like that, too)

I had an orange cat, his name was Chewie, and he was really smart. He used to catch treats with his paws and eat it right out of his paws. He would take care of my mom (who’s terminally ill) and was best friends with our older dog. He would also play with the fish my mom had in her room.

There are a few places in the game where you can lie down and sleep, and on the PS5 version (and I assume PS4) your controller vibrates ever so slightly along with the purrs that you can hear from the controller speaker. Yes, PS4/5 controllers have a speaker.

Love your content guys, now I will watch the video😊

I feel bamboozled. I really thought you guys were in that room with that TV behind you and I was thinking "oh that's kind of an old-school way to show your screen, send the video feed to a big TV behind you? Smart." Turns out I'm just a cotton-headed ninny muggins.

Me, who knows the stray language, reading everything the signs say as they play
