Details in the video game Stray will amaze you a lot!
Stray gave us a completely different gaming experience from all kinds of games released in the past years. Despite the simplicity of its story, plot, and even gameplay, this time it brought something different. It's not from a big studio and it's not even top-of-the-line, but everyone who's tried it has enjoyed it for a while, and it has impressed them.
But what you do not know, that Stray game includes many and many details, information, facts and distinctive Easter Eggs that you did not notice while playing. But the community of players has already managed to extract these details, which will impress you a lot. We would like to share it with you, which may make you like Stray even more.
1 - The development of Stray began about 6 years ago
You may be wondering if the development of Stray was only recent, because the talk about the game has only been raging in recent years. Being a game from an average studio and not a famous studio, it did not gain all the media prestige expected, as happened with games like CyberPunk or GTA and others. which was announced about a decade ago.
In a post on the Stray Devblog (you can visit the post here) one of the official developers posted the first images of the Stray game on the blog in 2016. Announcing that he had started developing a game based on a cat. The posted image closely simulates the world of the game in which you will be playing. Thus, the game is not a recent development, but work on its development began about 6 years ago.
2 - You can get to know the entire game development team inside Stray
In the game Stray and while you are wandering the alleys, streets and forgotten city, you will come across a lot of humanoid robots. You can interact with these robots such as rubbing against them, or making them stumble by standing in front of them, and you can also talk to them. Some bots may not give you any additional information, while others have some different lines or sayings than other bots.
What you may not know is that most of the bots in the game have the same names as the development team. You can find many of them, especially in one of the clubs within the game Stray where you will find two people dancing to the music, the first wearing a dragon helmet called Viv and the second Koola wearing a yellow jacket. They are the directors of Stray.
You will also come across bots with names like Miko, Simon, Jaenma and then Baladin. They often have a Quest Line or sayings that are different from other bots (you can find them almost everywhere in the game). They are the names of the development team.
3 - The name B12 has many symbols
While playing the game and in the early stages of it, you will meet a robot that will help you a lot in your journey. It's the B12 robot that will stick to your back, helping you with translations, searching for remembrences, aiding in combat operations, and even reminding you of key missions.
The name B12 is not at all random, and stands for two main things: The name B12 is a projection of the name BlueTwelve Studio. Then secondly, drop on Vitamin B12 which is an absolutely essential component of a cat's diet. Of course as a toy development team for cats, they know this very well as even I who don't have much experience with cats know how important B12 is to cats. It was great to name an assistant robot in the game by this name, dropping the most important element in the life of cats food.
4 - There is a hidden code in the game Stray with a funny message
Also in the early stages of Stray in the first city full of robots, you'll find plenty of things to browse while performing the main quest (the task of finding Notebooks for Outisiders). On one of the rooftops you will find a TV screen, while interacting with the remote control will switch between several channels. One of these channels is similar to sales and shopping channels. At the bottom you will find a QR code.

If you scan the code, the result will be a binary code consisting of ones and zeros, and if you translate it, you will see Hello You :3 with a simple icon that looks like a cat's mouth.
It's just a hilarious message from the developers to the players.
5 - Have you met Elliot from the Mr Robot series on Stray?
Stray has lots and lots of hints from series, movies, and even video games. We will mention some of them in this article. And the beginning with the character Elliot from the series Mr Robot. In the series, the protagonist of the story, Elliot, takes on the character of a hacker who hacks other people's computers and devices according to the nature of his work.
In the intermediate and advanced stages of the game Stray, you will encounter a hacker who is closed in on himself in one place, and he is called Elliot. It is a direct projection of the same character from the series Mr Robot.
6 - NECO Inside the Game of Stray
If you look at the items in the game, such as the names of factories, and even the names of garbage containers, you will find that they belong to NECO. There is also a Stray task that you will complete inside the NECO factory, you will even find this sign in many paths and alleys within the game, and clicking on the translate option will translate it for you to Neco.
The phrase NECO is a basic projection of the term Neko. In Japanese, the cat is nicknamed Neko (with C to K) which is another fun addition to the game as it talks about cats. Because it's fun to add some details about these pets, although it takes some time to decipher them.
7 - You can also meet the musical duo Daft Punk
In the same club where you will meet with the development team for the game, and if you hang around a little inside, you will find that there are two robots in the form of DJ who are watching to provide the best music within this club, with great vigor and vitality. The two robots wear a large, circular helmet with a rounded glass band.
It is also a projection of the famous music duo Daft Punk. They are famous for wearing similar helmets while performing or in their music videos. It's not surprising to see such projections, especially since Daft Punk is a French team, and development studio BlueTwelve is also French in origin. It is a veneration for this team within their game.
8 - The developer team for Stray really loves Skyrim
Skyrim is one of the most popular open world RPG or RPG video game. It is big and fun at the same time, and although it was launched in 2011, it is still popular today.
Apparently the team behind Stray loves this game and may have tried it too, because many of the scripts and lines of the bots within Stray quote lines from famous Skyrim characters.
For example, in a bar inside a Stray game, you will find a bot named Sojiro, who upon interacting with him will tell you the following text: "I used to owned a bar before, until I got hit in the knee with a screwdriver." This text is adapted verbatim from one of the most famous characters of the Lines in Skyrim (which later became a M). For when you encounter a Guards and interact with him he will tell you: "I used to be a warrior like you, until I received an arrow in my knee."
This is not the only similarity, you will also find in a junkyard within the game Stray two bots searching in digital waste, when interacting with one of them will tell you: "Some call it trash, I call it treasure." It is a quote from the character Belethor, a store owner in Skyrim who, if you interact with him, will also tell you: "Some people call it trash, but I call it a treasure."
9 - Doc in Stray is based on the movie Back To The Future
If you watched the Back To The Future trilogy, a science fiction movie about Marty who can travel back in time, with his grandfather, Dr. Emmett. The story of the movie is interesting, for example, in the first part, Marty (in order to go back to the present) has to make his parents fall in love in the past in order for him to exist in the future. The film combines science fiction as well as comedy and fun.
Back in the game Stray, you will meet a character named Doc who is a main character in the game's story mode who will help you get out of the forgotten city. Doc's character is based entirely on Dr. Emmett's character from Back To The Future. The similarity is not only in the body, but even in the text. The Doc will tell you that it needs a power of 1.21 Gigowatts in order to power the device. It's the same script and the same number that the Doctor will tell you in Back To The Future.
10 - Have you met Pablo Escobar in Stray?
In Stray, as you progress little by little, you will reach a prison in the city. That prison is full of criminal robots, but not any dear robots.
You'll find three of the world's most famous criminals, Pablo Escobar, the famous Colombian drug and mafia boss (for whom there is a series called Narcos). Then Alfonse Capone, one of the most famous gangsters and mafias in Chicago of America (of which there is a movie called Capone). Then the character of Lupin, a famous thief in one of the American novels (fantasy). Nice idea from the developers to name the inmates in the prison after famous criminals.
More details in Stray
The details mentioned in this article are the most surprising and most breathtaking details of the game to experience Stray. There are many other details, such as the simulation of the city of machines from Nier Automata within the Stray and even the simulation of Merchent and its Lines. As well as the appearance of a book inside the library bearing the character of a dog's palm, an indicator adapted from the cartoon series Gravity Fall. As well as more movements adapted from the games, the most important of which is Half Life (you will find a stick in one of the abandoned trains, which is a quote from the game).
This game is full of amazing details, so don't try to finish it quickly, but enjoy the bright details.
