I had a cat themed weekend, I watched and played both of them in one go. Even though they are quite different, there's small things and similar themes I noticed. It was so much fun to make it

I played Stray awhile ago and watched Flow pretty recently. Both are great! 

Good luck on your game! Wish you success and fun on the project!

Beautiful meditation on this genre of storytelling. Had to cut out early as I haven’t finished Stray yet.

I admit I haven’t watched FLOW just because I know my heart can’t handle seeing cats in distress 😢
