Now not positive if you happen to’ve spotted, however the Web loves cats – so it is not an enormous wonder that pussycat cyberpunk journey Stray has already constructed up a modding scene simply days after unencumber. However it doesn’t matter what you anticipated from Stray mods, you almost certainly did not suppose one in every of them could be in line with Heavy Rain.
Over on Nexus Mods, you’ll be able to already to find techniques to reskin your playable cat in a lot of types (together with looking a bit like Garfield, and with an eyepatch). However nestled some of the many reshades is a mod merely known as JASON via author Gibrietas.
JASON has a easy, best possible serve as – it replaces Stray’s handbook meowing with the sound of Heavy Rain protagonist Ethan Mars shouting for his misplaced son. I do not know why I feel that is fantastic, however I very a lot do.

If you do not take into account, Heavy Rain used to be a 2010 Quantic Dream journey sport that starts with a scene wherein you’ll be able to “Press X to Jason“, sending out a couple of shouts of, neatly, “Jason!”. Now, 12 years later, due to the wonders of generation, you’ll be able to do the similar with an overly adorable cat.
In my view, I feel Gibrietas now must paintings on a sequel mod, entitled SHAUN.
Stray arrived this week, and we awarded it an 8/10 review, calling it “a lovely journey in a gloomy however endearingly hopeful cyberpunk global, and that’s thank you in no small phase to the truth that you’re taking part in as an cute cat the entire time.”
