Feline-focused adventure game Stray features unique Memory collectibles that enrich the game's narrative and world. Here's where to find them all.

In the opening chapters of Stray, the game’s adorable feline protagonist allies itself with a little flying robot named B12, who assists them as they journey through a dangerous new world populated only by robots in order to reunite with their family. However, while playing through the game’s twelve chapters, the player will discover that B12’s lost memory can gradually be restored by finding collectible Memories scattered throughout Stray’s richly-detailed cyberpunk city.

There are a total of 27 Memories to be collected in Stray and they can be found starting in Stray’s Chapter 4: The Slums. Most of the subsequent chapters will have a few collectible memories for players to seek out, usually just off the beaten path. Rather handily for players who don’t like to spend lots of time searching every nook and cranny of the game world for collectibles, all Memories are surrounded by green pixels that make them hard to miss. However, getting them can be tricky especially given that there’s no shortage of hazards and dangers in Stray.

Stray is garnering a lot of positive buzz at the moment thanks to its richly detailed world, melancholic tone, and a story that is by all accounts rather lovely and meaningful. With B12 accompanying the game’s intrepid feline for most of the game, players should actively seek out the Memory collectibles in every chapter so B12 can offer some further context about the history of Stray’s world.

Stray offers a couple of useful tools to help the player keep track of their collectibles. Memories can be tracked under the Memories tab in B12’s menu in-game and if the player chooses Chapter Select from the main menu, they can also see if they’ve missed any memories in each chapter. However, most aren't hard to find:

Stray’s fourth chapter takes place after the player has helped B12 for the first time and put on Stray’s special cat harness, which can actually be found as part of Stray’s new official merch line. Chapter Four has 7 Memories:

Chapter Five has 3 Memories to collect:

Chapter Six has no Memory collectibles.

Stray’s unfortunately delayed release seems to have allowed its developers to polish the game’s indirect combat, which comes into play in Chapter Seven. Chapter Seven has 3 Memories to collect:

Chapter Eight has 2 Memories to collect. At this point, players should try to be much more careful as Chapter Eight is likely the toughest part of the game and features an area not seen in any of Stray’s pre-release trailer coverage.

Stray slows down a lot in Chapter Nine and much like other cozy indie games, it allows the player to take a bit of a breather here. Chapter Nine has 2 Memories to collect:

In Chapter Ten, Stray opens up into a semi open-world section with a lot to do and see. Unlike many other semi-open world games which feature empty and bland environments, Stray’s Chapter Ten is dense and extraordinarily colorful. Of course, that makes finding the 7 Memories here more challenging:

Chapter Eleven only has 1 Memory and stands out as Stray’s bleakest level, although there are plenty of adventure games with drastic tone shifts.

Chapter Twelve also has only 1 Memory, which is automatically given to the player after a cutscene.

After finding this last memory, the player should receive the I Remember! Achievement or trophy, which is currently one of the rarest in the game. While Memories are perhaps the most common collectible in this game, there are also a few other odd collectibles and trophies, including finding Stray’s increasingly notorious paper bag, that players can collect for bragging rights.
