Bizarre Stray Mod Makes the Game Like Heavy Rain

Cat game Stray has been turning heads since its initial reveal for its adorable and unique premise. And now that it's out, it seems as though Stray has lived up to the hype. Stray has earned positive reviews from critics, with many in agreement that Stray's playable cat protagonist is a fantastic video game recreation of how cats genuinely behave.

Those interested in Stray can play it on PC, PS4, or PS5, with the PlayStation versions accessible to anyone that has a PS Plus Extra or PS Plus Premium subscription. No such freebie exists for PC players, but there is still an advantage to getting the PC version of Stray over the PlayStation versions. Unlike the PlayStation versions of the game, Stray on PC lets players use mods to change up the experience, and while there haven't been all that many released for the game yet, one rather bizarre one is now available to download.

Gibrietas uploaded a video of the mod in action, showing Stray's beginning area with the mod in effect.
