Games like Stray for anyone who wants to be the cat
Little Kitty, Big City is the closest pick after Stray. Cat Quest, Cats are Liquid and Copycat each take the cat in a different direction. Roam cat games for iPhone are below.
What Stray is
Stray is a cat adventure by French studio BlueTwelve Studio, published by Annapurna Interactive in July 2022. You play a stray orange cat who falls into a walled city where robots live and humans are gone. With a small drone called B-12, you solve puzzles and run from swarms of Zurks.
You also do cat things: knock cans off shelves, scratch carpets, nap on cushions, meow on command. That mix of small cat moments and a real story is what fans ask for again.
