We’re all familiar with the concept of a video game remake, perhaps too familiar these days. But in recent years, the concept of a demake is becoming more and more popular on the fan-made game scene. In case you’re not familiar with the concept, while a remake takes an older title and enhances its graphics and performance, a demake does the exact opposite. It takes a newer game and reimagines it for older generation hardware. In this case, we’re looking at 2022’s Stray as if it were made for Nintendo’s 1989 Game Boy handheld.
