Strayward
Read full descriptionHide full description
Strayward is an endless vertical-descent arcade. One thumb. Endless floors. A different face of abandonment every run. In the Forgotten City, every stray has heard the same legend โ at the very bottom there is a Door, and beyond it, a place where every stray belongs. So they descend. Through Neon Ruins, Flooded Metro, Forgotten Foundations. Floor after floor. Faster than the chase that follows. Each run picks one danger โ the Flood, the Cold, Traffic, the Dark, Hunger, Illness, Loneliness, or the Rogue Animal โ and that danger drives both the rising chase behind you and the obstacles on the floors. Floor types bias with the threat: ice on cold nights, conveyor belts under traffic, crumbling ledges when the ground itself is unwell. Pick a stray: Ash the orange cat โ a Slink that makes the chase lose ground. Patch the Shiba Inu โ a Guard invulnerability for the moments that matter. Nix the raccoon โ Scavenge pulls coins out of the bins (magnet included). Pip the pigeon โ Preen shakes off sickness, vertigo, and frostbite. One more run. Modes for every night: Normal descent, Daily with a pinned threat, Living (survive on the clock), Boss (race the Door Boss for your fastest kill), and Creative (author a challenge, share a code, or browse what others published). Personal-best toasts mid-descent. A leaderboard of strays who got further than you last night. Spend a Boss ticket in Boss mode (earn via Normal or buy for 100 coins in the shop) and you drop straight into the Door Boss fight โ bank shards on the way down, then Strike to win. Your fastest kill tops the Boss board. Free to play. Soft currency only โ every character is unlockable through play. Optional Remove Ads purchase. Downward. Homeward.
