I can't believe there are people out there who did not grasp the backstory and meta of Stray. That's like playing with your eyes closed and sticking your fingers in your ears going "la la la la"
Then make steam reviews saying "it was a cute simplistic cat game with simplistic characters that was a little sad, but enjoyable :)"
They're robots you clown.
They forged their own little souls and personalities all by themselves OUTSIDE of their original programming to recycle or clean the streets. That's like your roomba gaining sentience after 2000 years and you're complaining they're not complex characters. 🤡
They only had sketchy memories of their soft squishy creators thousands of years before they gained sentience all on their own after their creators died. Society and their bunker city had fallen into ruin and very few records remained in the slums where they dwelled.
They were recycling robots, condemned to labor in the dark but once they gained sentience they rebelled against the controlling upper level robots and began lighting colorful lights and singing in the darkness, because that's what they remembered their creators would do. They loved us and remembered us.
They're in the infancy of their own society even though they're long lived, because they're robots - they had to learn how to be people all on their own!
And for you to reduce their achievements or say "they're childish or simplistic" is missing the entire point.
I will defend these robots with my dying breath because they are humanity's legacy in the story and all they admired was our capacity to love and be kind
Fuck you *sobs*

Oh hey here’s some extremely self indulgent shit, me as like a robot in Stray, a straysona I suppose....
I’d be a lil artist robot fella who has seen cats in like photos and so is very in love with the concept of cats, and collect like ton of the lucky cats you can see all around the game.
And so she’d absolutely lose her shit when the cat arrives in the town, best day in her life ever.
