Stray 2 Should Feature a Customizable Cat

gamerant.com:

Stray had already charmed many gamers before release, as the premise of controlling a cat in a cyberpunk world was intriguing enough on its own. However, the many strong reviews for Stray have shown that BlueTwelve Studio’s new release is a great game to boot, with players getting to complete some fun puzzles and take in some genuinely interesting lore throughout their journey.

Stray nails the feeling of being a cat, as the behavior of felines is perfectly captured through the game’s mechanics. From a meow button to pushing things over to nuzzling up against humanoid robots, players can do everything cats are known to do in the real world. However, one thing that is not available to players is cat customization, and it should be something that BlueTwelve Studio prioritizes if the developer ever decides to make a sequel.

To be fair, there is likely a good reason why the cat in Stray is not customizable. The model for the cat, Murtaugh, belongs to BlueTwelve Studio co-founders Viv and Koola. With this cat being a real life stray that the pair took in, the developers have a personal connection to Stray’s protagonist. With the same fur color kept, the playable cat is likely meant to be a stand-in for the real Murtaugh, with many of the protagonist’s actions modeled off of BlueTwelve’s pet.

With a potential sequel, BlueTwelve could open things up a bit to let players customize the playable cat. This way, gamers could bring their own cats into a virtual setting, controlling their feline friend throughout another interesting story. There are plenty of options when it comes to customization, too, and many players would likely be quick to do fashion posts that
