Five of these memories are unlocked organically by progressing through the story, leaving 22 memories hidden throughout the post-apocalyptic world.
There are multiple locations in the game, and not all of them contain hidden memories. If a memory is available for you to find, the memory slots will turn a light grey showing you how many are nearby. If you miss a couple of these memories throughout your play-through, you can go back using chapter select to find them after you’ve finished the game.
Please note that this guide may contain spoilers for the game. Please proceed with caution!
Stray is available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and Steam for $29.99.

Once you meet the Guardian in the Slums, head down the stairs in front of him and scale the buildings to your left. Once you reach the rooftops, look for a red roof with a big arrow sign on it. Behind the sign, you will find a slumped-over robot and B-12’s second memory.
Stray memory #2
Memory #3
Take the stairs to the left of the Guardian and then go down the first alleyway to your left. Start scaling the walls of the apartments, and you will find a painting on the wall of a friendly-looking robot. Inspect this wall for memory #3.

Once you have collected three energy drinks, give them to the seller and he will give you memory #4 in return.

Stray memory #6
Memory #7
Around the area where the robot closes the gate to shut you out of the city, you will find a slogan painted on a wall reading ‘RIP Humans.’ You come across this area directly, so you shouldn’t have to look too hard for this memory.

Stray memory #12
Memory #13
This memory is a little tricky to find. After you complete the speeding trolley section, go straight up the alleyway to your right. At the bottom right corner, there is a little hole in the fence. Head through the hole to find a robot slumped on a little pontoon. Make sure you pick this one up before you leave the area because once you do, you can’t make your way back.

Stray memory #14
The Sewers

You will find the first memory in The Sewers after you head through the door Momo holds open for you. Head down the corridor until you reach a crossroads. To the right, you will see a closed door. To the left, you will see a passageway that’s completely blocked by Zurk eggs.
Every bone in your body will want you to nope right out of there straight away and keep going forward to progress through the level. But to make it to memory #15, you have to go through the Zurk eggs and make a quick left turn into a tunnel. Continue through the tunnel, and when you pop out, your bravery will be rewarded with memory #15.
Stray memory #15
Memory #16
