Love the fact that the last shot in the game is the cat slow blinking at the camera, and therefore, presumably, at the player themselves. In case anyone reading isn’t aware of the meanings of certain parts of feline behavior, the slow blink is often considered to be how house cats visually communicate love and trust to those they co-habitate with, particularly their owners. Essentially, the cat, in the last moments of the game, is trying to thank the player for their help, and saying that they love and trust them. They’re happy, and, presumably, they’re bidding you a fond farewell. And I am absolutely not crying right now, I’m just allergic to virtual cats.

It's worth noting that the scientist tried to upload themselves into a companion robot. These pods are strewn throughout the world, so it is safe to assume, that humans have uploaded their consciousness into Companions, which is the reason why the ones in the lower parts of the city are self aware, while the ones near the control room remained "regular" robots. It makes it also so much sadder to think about the fact, that some of these human-personality carrying companions have been wiped by the Sentinels. The human part of them literally got erased, it's scary to think about.

@hieioni3354 Год назад

I think it'd be cool to call the memory erasure "the Digideath"

@baosia Год назад

Are there more than two pods in the game? I only ever saw the two, and judging by their locations I assumed upoloading was not common

Mattpad theory?

@StoveToTheFace 5 месяцев назад

Yeah that's a very important part of the story. Suprised he left it out. I don't know how many others uploaded their minds we only know of 1 for sure, but I definitely came to the same conclusion because it would explain why they have these human traits and personalities. They like B12 forgot they did this, so now that B12 knows will he tell them or try and figure out if it's just him?

@almamater489 Месяц назад

@@baosia It may be possible that some robots were humans uploaded and others are just companions which have gained consciousness. One girl robot mentions that she loves the smell of fresh paint, then remembers she can't "smell" anything and gets sad. So how come she has that memory? Also even the fact that companions have gender identity kinda implies that they may have been humans who forgot they were humans

Really interesting. It hints at a much larger story that we don’t have access to because we are a cat and only have our limited knowledge of the world to go by, learning about all these giant things that happened long ago. It would be a great game to see a sequel to in the future.

@leen8430 Год назад

Thanks for putting this out here so quickly - I was curious about the game's plot and theme, and now I know. Great summary.

@vladandreas3884 Год назад

I think that somehow B12 is taking comfort with this super sad situation. In my opinion, knowing that the outside world has no humans left in it, in the end he realizes that the cyber city network is more suited for him, in his current state. Altough he states that he wanted to explore the new outside world with the cat, being trapped in a drone body will not offer him the satisfaction perceived by a living organism. He is happy to let his cat friend go and explore, because the cat can feel the beauty of the nature rebirth, while he can't do this anymore - he learns this lesson from his furry friend, observing how the hidden and sealed underground city is a terrible place to live for a live being. Their relation kinda reminds me of the relation between GLaDOS and Chell in the final parts of Portal 2 (another masterpiece that will live forever). Man, how deep and profound is the story of this game... and for now we know just a small part. Stray has broken my heart like no other game did. I played hundreds of games from all genres, but nothing, nothing ever comes close to what Stray delivered to me. Can't wait for the second game...

If you notice a screen switch on as our cat is walking out of the city. I felt it was B-12's way of saying goodbye. He is DEFINITELY uploaded in the main computer and it may have been part of his plan all along. Why else would the sentinels be deactivated simultaneously with his "death"? As far as I know we only opened the locks.

Being as there is a note in the game that was written who knows when stating in other words that the AIs gained souls of such in the near 7million years before said note was made… soooo it’s over 7 million years in the future, clocks have 16 hours, the start of the game shows the moon which is ridiculously closer… I’d say that’s pretty big story details

@GamingHarryYT Год назад

Good theory, but there’s literally no way that the infrastructure and the robots would last 7 million years. And why would robots that have been programmed by humans measure time completely differently. It would have been hundreds of years at most. When entering the ant village, B12 states that the scientist who was human, uploaded himself to the computer and was stuck in there for hundreds of years until he saw the cat. Hundreds of years, not millions.

@thestopgobber8631 Год назад

@@GamingHarryYT I think it’s momo who counts 250million days since ai gained a soul, it’s not a theory, it’s math, the mathematics is there, the clocks have 16 hours, for them to have even one hour added due to the earths rotation gradually slowing as the moon shifts closer would take over a million years, I’ll find the exact quote and who it’s by

@BubblesBub434 Год назад

@@thestopgobber8631 The 16-hour day doesn't imply anything. Hexadecimal system works better than decimal system for programming purposes, i.e. for robots, so they could have just collectively decided to go to a 16-hour system, adjusting the time length of an hour accomodatingly. I.e. let's say they move to a 16-hour full day, they might have just defined that a second takes 1.5x longer, all the while the earth rotating around its axis taking just as long as it takes on earth right now.
