While I personally really enjoyed playing Stray, I'm having a hard time imagining it as a straight narrative.
While the setting was immersive and gorgeous to look at, and the gameplay was quite enjoyable; the narrative was quite light. The cat cannot speak and doesn't have much motivation beyond going home. Though the robot companion does have motivations and the ability to speak, it is not the main character of the game.
Regardless, I will be interested to see how the movie turns out.
I imagine it being done similarly to Genndy Tartakovsky's Primal. I doubt a Hollywood studio would back a feature film done in that way, but I think if it was, it could be faithful to the game, impactful, and beautiful.
i actually had the same reservations, but as i thought about it more, i think stray actually makes more sense as a movie. that way you can give the cat more personality and drive, rather than trying to capitalize on people's desires to be a cat and do cat things. the game really shoehorns in the narrative, especially past the first half. it would have worked better with a more personified creature imo, since the game really ends up being driven by the narrative rather than the whimsy of the player (which is what i would have expected from a game whose focus was on doing cat things)
Giving the robot more of the spotlight is the obvious route. Make it the main character and its relationship to the cat the dramatic backbone.
This could become one of the best things ever if they do it right. I hope the cat stays silent.
Please not a detective Pikachu situation

Among other intriguing items on the agenda for the division are plans to adapt video games from Annapurna Interactive, the gaming branch of the indie studio
I wonder what else they could adapt? I don't think Outer Wilds would ever work as a movie, and that's the first Annapurna-published title I can think of.
Wait, Annapurna made Nimona? How did I miss that? It explains a lot.
They took it over after Disney cancelled it and closed the studio that was making it.
The cat's gonna talk isn't it
Chris Pratt will voice it
I prefer ryan reynolds
I'd take Samuel L Jackson
Ending spoiler
It better meet up with its clowder at the end
