About Stray Children
Stray Children is a turn-based role-playing adventure about a young boy who enters a long-forgotten game and finds himself in a land of children. There, he must survive encounters with monstrous adults called the Olders, whose bottled-up emotions and grievances shape the strange stories they tell.
A land of children
The journey begins when the boy flips a switch on an old console in a secret room filled with ancient technology. He is pulled through the screen into a peculiar world where children live behind a stronghold’s walls. Outside, the Olders lurk, rumored to be starving for something, and no place is said to be safe.
Encounters with the Olders
In turn-based battles, you can fight the Olders or use words as weapons. You dodge their attacks and uncover the source of their stories; reaching them with your words may save their souls.
