Stray is an incredible new experience on Steam brought to you by Annapurna Interactive. Stray has been hailed the publisher\u2019s most successful game to date, and has garnered much attention from the media since its Steam debut<\/strong>. But the approximately 63,000 players the game already has on PC isn\u2019t the only attention it’s getting. Stray has also captured the interest of modders.<\/p>\n\n\n

One such modder, Chris Rubino, created a new skin<\/a> for the main protagonist of the Stray story that looks almost identical to lasagna-loving Garfield. To put things into perspective, Stray has been out for less than a week and it already has a thriving modding community<\/strong>. The Garfield mod sees everyone\u2019s favorite orange cat take on the world without his beloved Jon. Those familiar with the plot of Stray will know that this is not by the modder\u2019s choice, but rather simply the sequence of events that the game follows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stray takes place during a time when humans have been wiped off the face of the earth by a biological outbreak on the surface. Humanity is survived by its Companions, robotic counterparts that have since become self-aware. The titular stray cat has become separated from its family and has fallen into a walled underground city<\/strong>. In this city, the cat will face Zurks, bacteria that have evolved to consume both organic and inorganic matter, and sentinels, robots that will try to kill the cat.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As grim a situation this is to drop often-pampered Garfield into, the game does give players an interesting perspective. Garfield and the protagonist cat also have a lot in common as the original stray is a ginger based off of one or more cats kept by the dev team. Notably, Garfield\u2019s fur is a lot more orange than the original protagonist, and his body looks a good deal more rotund<\/strong> than the svelte protagonist cat.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The modding community for Stray has definitely been quite busy, even churning out such horrors as CJ from Grand Theft Auto San Andreas cat-sized and on all fours.
