And kills your UV light for good measure as though to say "We're done with Zurks, moving on, new story". I think the (after sewers spoilers) eyes are there just to be spooky and look gross. And serve as a sort of denouement to the sewers. Maybe the devs wanted to make a more traditional boss stage at one time, but instead that's what we got. There is a throwaway line about it being one giant organism (that's obviously controlling the Zurks). Maybe things got scrapped. Who knows. At the end that's not the main mystery of the game/city. Edit: Whoops. Missed you posting that already. itry fucked around with this message at 06:56 on Jul 22, 2022 |

The sewer..variant? main mass? I dont know but it could still be an issue if they continue things. I hope they do in one way or another. I can't overstate how much I just want more of this game. Looked at my playtime my first time though and I clocked 10 hours, I loved the hell out of this. TheWorldsaStage fucked around with this message at 17:58 on Jul 22, 2022 |

The cat is such a great "chaotic good" video game protagonist. A complete agent of destruction who also goes out of their way to help every single person (well, every robot) they encounter.

Cavauro posted:i think when this game was first shown off it was really basic and maybe didn't have a name yet too? But anyway there weren't any robot things or anything like that so I assumed you were controlling a stray cat in the real world and that idea kind of interests me more than the robot world full of puzzles and stuff. Like not necessarily a standard survival game like all the other open world games but a game about trying to survive nonetheless. but what it ended up being is still cool. i will play the cat game. Maybe this is more like what you imagined? Gameplay-wise, anyway. Panic! At The Tesco posted:i haven't played stray yet but i'm also looking forward to "Little Kitty, Big City" which looks like a cat version of goose game.

I got the I Am Speed achievement! I ran my own timer and it said I finished with 1 minute and 20 seconds to spare, but the save file listed it as 1:51:41 so it wasn't as desperately tight on time as I thought it would be. I gotta say, speeding through it you miss SOOOOO much of the atmosphere of the game, my full "do everything" playthrough was something like 8.5 hours and it is kind of crazy just how fast you can get through a seemingly giant level like Midtown when you know exactly where to go and when. Game good, cat good, I'm so glad I played this.

This was a little unnerving. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5lgtNSgn98 Also I just realized if you continuously hold down X you'll automatically take jumps as you encounter them. Makes tearing around the world fun if a bit chaotic when you take a jump you didn't expect.

I think the ending was good but could have been better with the robots leaving the city, seeing the outside world.. and you getting back to the cat family. It seems implied that "everything is ok" but I'd rather have just been shown.

I dunno, probably because that was the quickest way to communicate "these aren't a problem anymore" in half a second. There's tons of stuff you could nit-pick about this game's story (that's sci-fi for you) but I think you're just supposed to enjoy the vibes.

Game good, made it to Midtown which I assume is close to the end of the journey because the memory bar only has about four spots left. I didn't even think about taking screenshots until getting to the second village, and then that's about all I did for the next half hour. They make every sleeping spot look so nice and cozy, real desktop wallpaper mega pack stuff going on there

Drinkslinger posted:You probably already know this, but you can replay any previously completed chapter from the main menu. Just thought I'd remind you (and everyone else) about that before anyone deletes a save. I actually didn't know that but it's obvious now that you pointed it out. Thanks.

It’s a cat and does not care about the city. Not giving any closure to the cats reuniting felt bad and unfinished. I had fun with the game but the lack of a reunion makes me like the game less in retrospect. It’s pretty similar to my feelings about Returnal. The ending made of that game made me really dislike everything else and not replay it.
