| Abstract (English): | This text explores how the videogame Stray, in which the protagonist, a stray cat, walks through a dystopian world, offers exciting perspectives moving beyond merely human perception. It is argued here that not only the story, but also the implementation of environment and further plot characters, the gameplay, and the realistic feline processes of movement, support a very specific atmosphere, adding transspecies impressions to the established spheres of cyberpunk settings. Relationships between human and nonhuman beings and sensual worlds are put into focus and traditional dichotomies in Eurocentric cultural narratives of worlds like nature/culture, animal/human, body/mind are questioned within this game. Nonhuman forms of life and consciousness are interacting and collaborating emotionally and passionately celebrating a posthuman culture, which is not limited by these former dualistic visions any longer. As such, video sequences or even short playing sessions might also be used in education of adolescents, e. g. in subjects like Philosophy (animal ethics), German (narrative perspective, emotional storytelling) or Art (digital design, dystopian visions, synaesthesia).
