Strayward

Strayward is an endless vertical-descent arcade. One thumb. Endless floors. A different face of abandonment every run. In the Forgotten City, every stray has heard the same legend — at the very bottom there is a Door, and beyond it, a place where every stray belongs. So they descend. Through Neon Ruins, Flooded Metro, Forgotten Foundations. Floor after floor. Faster than the chase that follows. Each run picks one danger — the Flood, the Cold, Traffic, the Dark, Hunger, Illness, Loneliness, or the Rogue Animal — and that danger drives both the rising chase behind you and the obstacles on the floors. Floor types bias with the threat: ice on cold nights, conveyor belts under traffic, crumbling ledges when the ground itself is unwell. Pick a stray: Ash the orange cat — a Slink that freezes the chase in place. Patch the Shiba Inu — a Guard invulnerability for the moments that matter (golden aura in-world). Nix the raccoon — Scavenge turns nearby traps into coins (magnet included). Pip the pigeon — +40% move speed and Plummet drops through the current floor to the one below. Lai the yellow cow — heavy falls crack floors; Stamp makes the current ledge fragile. One more run. Modes for every night: Normal descent, Daily with a pinned threat, Living (survive on the clock), Boss (race the Door Boss for your fastest kill), and Creative (author a challenge, share a code, or browse what others published). Personal-best toasts mid-descent. A leaderboard of strays who got further than you last night. Spend a Boss ticket in Boss mode (earn via Normal or buy for 100 coins in the shop) and you drop straight into the Door Boss fight — bank shards on the way down, then Strike to win. Your fastest kill tops the Boss board. Free to play. Soft currency only — every character is unlockable through play. Downward. Homeward.
