The cat simulation game appropriates Asian aesthetics but doesn’t grapple with the Walled City’s historical legacy

        I agree there should not be racist caricatures. The article was implying that if the game was inspired by a colonized city the game should address that. And I was wondering how they would do that since that's game's setting is a shelter or something

        The history of the Walled City is inextricably tied to colonial rivalries, but none of it is represented in Stray. In the game, the city was a shelter built to protect humans from the plague

        And from the moment that the developers decided to base their game off an enclave that was created by British colonialism, they had a responsibility to grapple with its history.
