The Fur Flies With the Cat From ‘Stray’ Being Modded Into ‘Doom’ [Video]
With BlueTwelve Studio’s Stray being released two weeks ago, you knew somewhere that someone was thinking it, and now it’s happened: a modder has brought the cat from Stray into Doom. Modder edypagaza revealed Stray Doom late last week as a mod for either Doom or Doom II that not only allows you to blow away demons through the game as the cat (complete with a floating version of the cat’s backpack), but also allows you to play it in third person.
Obviously, that last part means you’ll need to download GZDoom 4.7.1, as well as have the original wads from either Doom or Doom II. And yes, the cat is wearing a Space Marine helmet.
The mod retains Doom‘s control layout, though with the additional option of lying down on occasion. And while we don’t get any cat-sized guns to mow down the denizens of Hell, the floating backpack takes care of the job for you.
Stray is currently out now digitally for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and PC via Steam, as well as available via PlayStation Plus Extra. A physical version of Stray will ship out on September 20th, courtesy of iam8bit.
Moon Studios dropped a new trailer during the Sony State of Play for their dark action-RPG No Rest for the Wicked, while also hinting at the long-awaited launch window for the full 1.0 release. The game, which has been in Early Access on Steam since April 2024, will be launching this October in full for PlayStation 5 and PC via Steam, while versions for the Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch 2 will arrive at a later date.
As a token of appreciation for supporters new and old, Moon Studios is offering an exclusive Early Access Founder’s Pack, a free limited edition bundle available for anyone who purchases the game on Steam prior to July 10, with rewards unlocking when 1.0 officially launches. PlayStation 5 users can receive the Early Access Founder’s Pack by pre-ordering the game once available, any time before launch day.
The Founder’s Pack includes:
- A New Secret Hideout: Spirit Cavern – The legacy of Moon Studios now lives inside No Rest for the Wicked, exclusively for Founders. A hand-crafted home that bridges both worlds.
- Sayer’s Vow: An all new Sword in the stone reserved just for the founders that only early adopters can extract in the game world.
- A Custom Founders Tag ensures players are clearly identified as early adopters.
- As a Founder member, players will get access to an exclusive Public Beta Test Realm reserved just for them, even after the 1.0 game launch.
As for the full 1.0 release, it will be a massive expansion of the core experience, introducing a staggering 60+ hours of new content, a new horde mode, powerful new weapons, bosses and enemies, new areas and a completely reimagined class system.
In No Rest for the Wicked, players take on the role of a “Cerim,” a member of a holy order imbued with mysterious powers, tasked with destroying the Pestilence, an ancient plague that has begun to consume the island Isola Sacra, itself already the site of great political upheaval and death.
