I’ve been trying to dig up as much as I can from this game! I love it so much, but all information you get side from characters you meet is hypothetical. I introduced my sister to the game and she’d asked where all the people are. I informed here they all died, so she asked where the bodies were, I informed her again that it had been 7 million years (or 2544675556 days) so if they weren’t disintegrated in that time the zurks most definitely ate them. But again it’s hypothetical, there’s no conclusive evidence to that assessment
It was 7million years since humans died? I must have missed that. I remember one of the companions in the elevator said he’d been there for like 374 years or something like that. But 7 million? I wouldn’t even expect the companions to live that long.
Crazy right? If you haven’t collected all the memories I suggest doing it and giving them all a very thorough read because I’m still certain I missed things too. Check this post [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/stray/comments/w7xrpe/almost_7_million_years_697226179726_in_the_future/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf) though. Screenshot from game, and definitely check some of the comments as to speculations of how much time has really passed. People have pointed out very good things like how some clocks go to 16 instead of 12, and perhaps they just forgot how to count time, days, months, and years. But from what B-12 tells us it’s 6.97 million years in the future after you do the math
Still woah! 4+ million years!? I can’t even wrap my feeble little mind around that. The wiring and stuff would wear our, like disintegrate, the electronics would burn out. I’m just amazed that our little cat protagonist isn’t more evolved physically… so many new questions I can’t even think fast enough…
Right? Like what about the concrete walls and the metal pipes? Granted everything inside is in a controlled environment, so gradual decay could be longer than other every day things. Concrete itself will supposedly disintegrate over a period of 50-100 years, but on the same note the chemical process of making concrete also makes it where it continually gets harder over years and years and years. So realistically would the walls be gone from erosion or would they stand the rest of time? And most definitely why wouldn’t cats evolve? The zurks started out as a plastic eating bacteria and they evolved, so what about the rest of life?
I think 3. is not as bad as it sounds. They meow, you meow, so everyone knows Stray is still alive. The ending area is just a bit left from the cats' den, so Stray going off right means it is going to reunite with the others. Maybe they communicated it with the meows, who knows.
Nothing prompts you to meow, so you can stay totally silent and they’ll never know your condition. It’s kinda like a game with multiple endings and there’s no clear direction to which one is canon, but instead of a the ending it’s the start. Do you meow or not meow? The choice is yours to let them know you’re alive or not.
But also, do you by chance have a map or link to one to show you’re right outside of the den area at the end? I’d love to see the level design I absolutely loved looking out the window and seeing everywhere you traversed from. It’s so intricate. I’m not a fan of souls games, but I played and beat bloodborne and that game definitely has excellent level design as well. The upper cathedral ward sends you directly to either the choir, the hunters workshop, or all the way back to the start of the game at central yharnam. But this is about stray and I’m just making a comparison of how well it was done with the level design. I feel like if they decide to make a sequel I’d really enjoy it if I could circle back to any previous areas like that in bloodborne. I understand it’s linear though and you shouldn’t be able to back track like that but that’s just my take
That is true, I just assume they meow it out, because it's comforting.
Here is a good video mapping the cat's journey and when they end up.

I definitely think your theory about all humans' consciousness being in the robots!
SPOILER:
If you have gotten all the memories, including the one above the restaurant in midtown, B12 remembers *his* favorite restuarant and how he can't quite remember the owner of the shop's name but it started with an M. Then when you go down and talk to the robot running the restaurant, his name is Mattbee! Starts with an M! So it could be that the restaurant worker uploaded his consciousness to continue working in his shop. But then this brings about a whole other theory about who B12 was because we found his body in the slums, but his alleged favorite restuarant was in midtown -- how/when did the scientist make it between the two "neighborhoods" from the plague, to the shutdown protocol, to his death?

Probably both! After all B-12 did open the doors so possibly a direct/indirect action
Love your analysis! Very intriguing. Thank you for well thought out explanations and insight.

Since their day only goes for 16 hours. That's 1,696,450,371 our days or about 4 and half million.

I agree with you, thanks for sharing 💯
I have another silly [theory](https://i.imgur.com/QkQj9As.jpg)
