“Face your true self within the nightmares of a stray cat in the dead of night.”
About This Game
Stray Night is a puzzle-build roguelite hack-and-slash game that follows the journey of a stray cat enduring the hardships of street life as it discovers its true identity through nightly dreams. Transform the struggles of reality into powerful combat within the dream world. Build your own survival style through ever-changing skill combinations and complete the inner growth of a lonely stray cat.
Story
In a narrow, cold alleyway, an unnamed stray cat fights for survival every day. Just as the cat becomes numb to the recurring hunger and the cold stares of strangers—even to the feeling of "loneliness" itself—mysterious nightmares begin to haunt its sleep.
Inside the dream, the cat transforms into a powerful humanoid being, yet the world is filled with monsters manifested from its real-life hardships. The cat must break through the "Wall of Loneliness" that blocks its path and venture deeper into its inner self.
Waiting at the end of this journey is the "self of yesterday" and the true essence of who the cat is. Will the stray cat be able to overcome the nightmares and achieve true inner growth?
