There are items in Stray known as Memories that function as collectibles. Each Memory will also give you a clearer picture of the game’s backstory. They’re interesting, and some of them are very tricky to find.
There are a total of 27 Memories in Stray. However, five of them are naturally unlocked as you progress through the story. You’ll then need to find the other 22 for yourself. Collecting them will awaken a lot of B-12’s memories of the world around him.

The Location of Every Memory in Stray
There are over 12 chapters you’ll need to go through to complete Stray. Once you get to the ending, you have the opportunity to replay a chapter to find things you may have missed. This is also a great way for you to collect every Memory you haven’t found yet.
From the chapter selection menu, you’ll also see how many Memories there are in a chapter and how many you’ve found so far.
Not every chapter in Stray hides a Memory, while some are particularly more abundant than others. Here’s a look at the number of memories you’ll find in every chapter.
- Inside the Wall – 0
- Dead City – 0
- The Flat – 1
- The Slums – 7
- Rooftops – 3
- The Slums Part 2 – same Memories as chapter four
- Dead End – 3
- The Sewers – 2
- Antvillage – 2
- Midtown – 7
- Jail – 1
- Control Room – 1
When you return to a chapter after beating the game to collect Memories, be sure to reach a save point before exiting that chapter to make the Memories you’ve acquired count.
Once you find every Memory in the game, you’ll unlock the “I Remember!” Achievement or Trophy.
With that out of the way, here’s where you can find every memory in Stray.
