Stray, the debut title from BlueTwelve Studios which launched last year, will be adapted into an animated movie. The news comes from an exclusive Entertainment Weekly report which mentions that the movie is in active development and will be produced by Annapurna Animation.

"This is a game that's all about what makes us human, and there are no humans in it," said Robert Baird, co-leader of Annapurna Animation, in the report. He views the game as having "sort of 'hopepunk' vibe", where optimism is a form of resistance, and this aspect appears to guide the film adaptation.

"I love that term, hopepunk," he says. "I think, if we are going to do this adaptation justice, this is going to be the first and greatest hopepunk movie that's ever been made."

The report also mentions that Annapurna Animation plans to adapt other games from its sister branch, Annapurna Interactive, into movies but did not specify the titles under consideration.

Now, that is something I look forward

Brilliant game, and definitely has the potential to be a great movie

As much as I loved this game, I don't think the message and the feeling it gives can be adapted into a movie, unless the cat can talk or the robots suddenly start to speak English, which is weird.

It's pretty common for whatever alien/unknown language movie characters are actually speaking story-wise to be represented on screen by them speaking English, if it's the main language.

Wall-e did it.

I really, really, REALLY, want this to work. Stray has great potential at its dispossal and I hope it doesn't get shattered by a poor movie adaption.

No, it is a game. Needs interaction, not just watching.

They want a cat city/country? Check out Cyprus.

Or it used to be. I'm interested in this.

If you actually stop watching others playing games on YouTube and play the game yourself you will find out that it's a game, and of course you need to press buttons to interact with thing.

It's a game with basically a single button function. It plays by itself. It's as close as a videogame can get to a movie. It's pure narrative, little gameplay/mechanics. Think next time before replying to me, thanks.

I bet you feel pretty silly right now, huh?

Idk if you actually tried playing it, but there's plenty of traversal and exploration, not to mention combat, and you're full of shit.
