How we pick them
We compare the tags the Steam community gives each game with our own classification: what you do (action, story, building…), the difficulty, how long sessions last and whether you play alone or with others. Nobody pays to appear.
About Stray
You're a stray cat lost in a walled city inhabited by robots. You leap across rooftops, knock things off tables, meow and help a small drone discover what happened to the humans. Short and full of charm.
