Stray Beasts

About

Stray Beasts is a mobile visual novel where players navigate a story of hidden truths and moral choices. Set in a world where humans and animal-like beings called therians coexist, the game follows a group of shadowy protectors working with a mysterious figure named Mr Z. As they uncover secrets about their society, players make decisions that shape relationships and outcomes. The narrative focuses on themes of justice, loyalty, and the blurred lines between civilization and wild instinct. The game’s strength lies in its layered storytelling and character dynamics. While part of the Story Me app’s anthology, it stands out for its darker tone and philosophical questions about coexistence. With a runtime of around 10 hours, it delivers a compact but emotionally resonant experience. Player reviews highlight its bold themes and branching dialogue, though some note the short length and reliance on app-specific mechanics. Its 7.5/10 average on community sites reflects a solid but niche appeal.
