Weekly Famitsu December 7 2023 No. 1825 - Stray Cover

Stray takes the cover of Weekly Famitsu No. 1825, dated December 7, 2023, to mark its Japanese physical release. The feature revisits the game's development and the appeal of exploring a forgotten city as a lost cat. Interviews with the development team sit alongside illustration columns by manga artists who contribute to the magazine.

A broader feature considers other games with animal protagonists, bringing together unusual examples that range from energetic troublemakers to more soothing experiences. Dead or Alive Xtreme Venus Vacation also marks its sixth anniversary with update information and interviews with its developers. The original 144-page Japanese paper issue combines the Stray retrospective, this wider look at unconventional protagonists and an ongoing game's anniversary coverage.
