French video game developer BlueTwelve Studio and publisher Annapurna Interactive are readying to release 'Stray' in 2021, a third-person action-adventure game.
Set in a futuristic city that's inhabited by cats, robots, and menacing creatures, Stray prompts players to make their way through a dangerous setting that's full of threats and challenges while they seek to solve different mysteries. Players will see the world through the perspective of a stray cat, allowing them to interact with the cyber city in unique ways. Given their small and nimble nature, players will be able to take advantage of the cat's stealth abilities as they progress through, strategically searching for a way out. Joining them is a small drone called B12, who will act as a helpful companion.
Stray will be available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and Microsoft Windows.
