Stray has made its way to everyone’s hearts. Everyone loved the game’s neon-lit alleys of a decaying cyber city, but what everyone loved the most was the adorable main character, a cat. Now, that cat has found its way to Animal Crossing.

BlueTwelve Studio developed this 2022 adventure game while Annapurna Interactive released it. The game revolves around a stray cat who fell into an enclosed city populated by robots and viruses. Alongside a drone companion, B-12, the cat looks for a way to the surface.
