Guide yourself through Chapter 1: Inside The Wall in Stray. Learn the basics of movement, interaction, and what happens when you take a tumble.
Alright, so you've just started up Stray and you're probably wondering what's going on. This first chapter, 'Inside The Wall,' is basically your tutorial. It's where you learn the ropes of being a cat in this world, how to move around, and get a feel for the story. Don't worry, there's no way to mess up here – you can't die and you won't miss anything important yet. Just follow along and get comfy with the controls!
- 1You'll start by interacting with your family. Just go up to each of them and give 'em a nudge. Once you've said your goodbyes, you'll all settle down for a nap.
- 2The next day, a butterfly will wake you up. Follow your friends! They'll lead you through a series of pipes and platforms. Just keep moving forward, and you'll naturally learn how to jump and navigate the environment. If you ever feel lost, just meow – it helps you and your buddies find each other.
- 3Eventually, you'll reach a gap with a loose pipe. Your friends will hop across easily, but it's a bit wobbly. When you try to cross, you'll slip. Don't panic! Just hold on tight. You'll end up falling down into a new area.
- 4You'll land in a sewer system and might limp a bit from the fall. After a short rest, a big door will open, revealing a bright red light. Head through it.
- 5Inside, you'll find a couple of Zurks messing with some trash bags. This is your first encounter with them!
- Pay attention to the prompts on screen – they'll tell you exactly what buttons to press for actions like jumping, scratching, or meowing.
- Don't be afraid to explore the immediate area before you fall. You can scratch on things and drink water to get a feel for the game's mechanics.
- The meow button is your best friend for keeping the group together.
- You'll unlock the Missed Jump achievement for taking that tumble into the sewer.
