Once again, I said the stuff about the cat being part of the revolution as if it was another human/robot is the bait-and-switch. You then went off about projection.

I mean, projection is literally what it is. You're projecting your expectations onto the game, and when they don't line up with the narrative, you claim the devs peddled stuff in. What about the devs' claims conflict with the idea of the cat playing a part in the story rather than being a passive observer?

If YNs ending is the only thing thats relatable, and also not even something that players are guaranteed to see due to how open-ended the game is, then I dont consider the game as a whole relatable. Sometimes a (dream) walking simulator is just that.

I mean, the whole game has the potential to be relatable. Pretty much everyone dreams, and most people have had weird or unsettling dreams/nightmares before.

The thing about abstract art like Yume Nikki and games like it is that there's going to be a wide variety of interpretations of the game, but that quality alone makes it relatable in some way

If Flower is relatable to you, why is a game about a cat doing nothing but chasing birds and hacking furballs something bizarre to you?

I mean, the idea is only bizarre because it doesn't really seem like a niche that people want filled. There's plenty of games where you play as a cat, but none of them are really centered around living a cats normal day to day life in our reality.

That's the core of why there's really nothing weird or wrong with the cat in Stray participating in the plot. It was never marketed specifically as being a true to our reality cat
