• Linear or open world?
• Climbing and jump icons on objects
• Environmental puzzles
• Collectibles and secret locations
• Encountering robots and your inventory

Linear or Open World?

The majority of Stray\’s stages are fully linear, meaning players must follow a predetermined route to their destination and perform the actions planned by the developers in the correct order. However, players can explore small locations on their own. There are also two larger semi-open areas in the game, The Slums and Midtown, where players have more freedom to explore. These locations allow players to visit shops, meet robots, look for hidden collectibles, and complete smaller trophy requirements.

Climbing and Jump Icons on Objects

To reach new places, the cat must climb and jump on ledges and platforms or avoid pits and water reservoirs. The cat\’s jump range is limited, but the game shows jump button icons on objects that players can jump to. If no icon is visible, the platform is unavailable or too far away. In the game, players cannot fall from great heights as the game won\’t allow it.

Environmental Puzzles

Environmental puzzles in Stray vary in scope. Minor puzzles involve simple interactions like pushing a paint can or a board. More complex puzzles involve a series of actions that players must complete in the correct order. Players should look for interaction icons which suggest an action available in a given spot. B-12, the drone, can help players during many puzzles automatically without detailed instructions.

Collectibles and Secret Locations

Exploring areas thoroughly can help players find secret areas and items. The main types of collectibles in the game are B-12\’s Memories, badges, and sheet music. Players should also look for optional locations that may contain secrets or items related to the game\’s achievements.

Dealing with Robots and Managing Your Inventory

During gameplay, you have the option to communicate with robots using B-12 as your translator. While it is not always necessary to chat with robots, doing so can provide you with valuable information.

Some robot interactions are crucial in order to progress through the game. These interactions may require:

1. Obtaining guidance on what to do next.
2. Presenting or offering items from your inventory to robots (you must open your inventory and select the appropriate item). In certain scenes, this may be the sole method for receiving assistance or further instructions on how to complete a level.
