The video game Stray has not only attracted a large number of human players since its launch last July, but it was also surprising that the game centered on an alley cat has also impressed the cats.

The number of followers of the "Cats Watching Stray" account on the social network reached 37,000, a page that tells about the most unusual reactions of cats watching the adventures of the cat, the main character in the game.

The animal in the game roams an underground city inhabited by humanoid robots and strange creatures, and using a drone, it must solve a series of puzzles to return to the surface.

"We made this game with a real passion," said Swan-Martin Raghi of the French company Blue Twelve, which designed the Stray.

Many of the team keep cats, and Swan himself has two of these pets, Tao and Lychee.

"Strei", available on "PlayStation" and personal computers, topped the ranking of the best releases of the year, which the "Steam" platform puts.

Although some critics blamed Stray for the simplistic nature of her adventure story, most of them praised its graphic quality, and its dream-like atmosphere, especially as it provides the player with enjoyment and a sense of freedom as it embodies the role of a cat.
