    The origins are much less explained in Stray. Also you're a cat, more of the setting is intended for the player to figure out via observation - like a cat. You're supposed to look at the world and see it from cat perspective and I suspect to a certain extent you're not supposed to understand it fully because you're a cat.

      There are a few hints in the game though - spoiler alert, but in the beginning of the game you see a machine connected to a robot. Later on, you learn that this is a machine used to upload your consciousness into a robot. Most likely, the robots are human consciousnesses that lost their memory like B12

          I'm not sure. They seem fundamentally different from the robots in the control center, for example, and it seems that some robots exhibit behaviours that weren't learned and were fundamentally human (for example, the robot that talks about a smell and then is confused at how he can remember a smell). But for me it's really seeing the robots in the control center, having no issues doing useless work for thousands of years and seeming inhuman that did it for me

            They have no humans around them, which means they just do their thing. There is a memory that explicitly states that the robots started to break their programming by copying and imitating humans before the humans were all gone. With no humans around them to imitate nothing influenced them.
