The mysterious world of Stray holds many secrets for you to find as you venture through it with an adorable feline protagonist. But among the many many secrets you find, there are likely some that you might miss, so let's have a look at them in detail.
Below we have for you the full list of all the Easter Eggs and hidden secrets that you can find in the world of Stray. We will also give you some context around finding them and what they mean.
Stray - All Easter Eggs And Hidden Messages
Some of the hidden secrets you can find in the game are considered an Easter Egg more than a hidden message as they are directly referencing a different piece of media and give players a "that's neat!" moment. While others are more secret messages that require a bit more digging to figure out and don't necessarily reference anything you might know off-hand.
So we have broken them down into what is considered the Easter eggs and the hidden messages that you can find in the world of Stray. All of which you can find listed below:
Stranger Things Easter Egg - The first Easter egg is a reference to the first season of Stranger Things when Will Byers supposedly communicates with his mother Joyce through the electronics. This happens in Stray with a series of television sets and lights during Chapter 1.
Persona 5 Easter Egg - In the Video game Persona 5, there is a character named Sojiro who owns a bar, similar to the character you can find at the bar in the Midtown of Stray.
Skyrim Easter Egg #1 - This same character Sojiro spouts a similar line to the infamous line from the popular RPG The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, "Until I took an arrow to the knee". But in Stray Sojiro says he took a screwdriver to the knee instead.
Skyrim Easter Egg #2 - Near the Waterfall in the sewer area, you can find Jenkins who says the same line many of the merchants in Skyrim say: "Some may call this junk. Me, I call them treasures"
Gravity Falls Easter Egg - In the Library, you find a book that looks similar to the three journals that are used in the Gravity Falls series. But instead of a hand with six fingers, it's a cat's paw.
Back to the Future Easter Egg - Both Characters Seamus and Doc are references to the popular characters in the Back To The Future films and have similar aesthetic designs to Marty and Doc respectively.

Developer Name Easter Egg - Near the Prison area you can find a downed robot named Alterisateur, this is the same name as the Technical Game designer for Stray.
