Stray is a game about a lost cat in a big cold city, but it's not all about the cat. Along the way you link up with a cute robot friend called B-12. Through the adventure he's responsible for translating the speech of the robots, collecting items for you, and even functions as a handy flashlight. When B-12 first powers on he's lost a lot of his memories though. Over the course of Stray you get many chances to recover his memories and work towards the I Remember! Trophy. In this Stray Memories Collectible Guide we'll go over how to locate each of the 22 memories spread out across Stray.
Memories come in two varieties that I've intelligently named Big Memories and Small Memories. The Big Memories are all completely unavoidable, they tie into major cutscenes throughout the game so assuming you make it to the end of the game you'll have gathered all 5 Big Memories.

What should I do if I've missed a Stray Memory?
Stray has a chapter select option where you're able to exit to the main menu, select your save file, and select the Chapter Select option. On this view you'll also be shown how many Small Memories you have obtained per chapter. Your obtained memories will only save if you finish the Chapter after obtaining them so if you're backtracking to find missed memories make sure to collect all of the memories in the chapter and then get to the end of the chapter otherwise you'll have to repeat your effort.
The memories begin to appear starting with Chapter 3: The Flat when you recover B-12 and he joins you on your adventure.
