Seamus is a Companion in Stray and is introduced as the son of Doc. He lives at his apartment.
Seamus wears an orange gilet similar to the Marty McFly Sierra Down Vest from Back to the Future and a blue bucket hat, and is named after Martin Seamus "Marty" McFly. Several Back to the Future references are made in relation to him/his father, Doc.
Doc was a great scientist, and one day he went to Dead End to test the Defluxor, and did not return. Seamus was left alone and very upset (Jacob notes his drastic change in behaviour to the cat) for many years and thought that his father had died.
In the game, B-12 shows him Doc's Notebook, where he kept his notes about the Outside and his weapon. From it, Seamus learned that there is a secret laboratory in their apartment, in which the cat found a Broken Tracker. The cat brought it to Elliot in order to fix it, and the signal led him to the entrance to the Dead End, where he sent the cat instead of himself, giving him an Outsider Badge so that his father would recognise it. After the cat found Doc, he returned to his son, and they were reunited.
Trivia[]
- Seamus and his father Doc are references to Marty McFly and Doc from the Back To The Future series of films. Seamus wears an orange gilet, similar to Marty’s.
- In the game's source code, Seamus is often referred to as ROBERTO JR (or rarely just Roberto): DROID_SL3_RobertoJrMeetsHisFather_01_DROID.uasset, Dial_RobertoJr_Bar.uasset, etc. It was likely an earlier name that was changed in the course of development. This does not seem to be a name from the Credits. Other characters that seem to have been renamed are Zbaltazar (Gerard), Doc (Roberto), Kosma (Koba), Riko (Freddy), Bilite (Billie). Some of the related files are in the "RodrigoJR_Flat" folder, the files inside it refer to Doc or Seamus as "RobertoJr", and the name Rodrigo is not found anywhere else.
Bugs[]
- In Chapter 6: The Slums - Part 2, Seamus is shown with a red face, but in the cutscene after he was given a tracker and at the end of Chapter 7: Dead End, his face is blue.
- If the player completes Chapter 6 but instead of going straight to Chapter 7, goes back to Seamus's flat, a glitched floating cloak and leg willbe visible outside: STRAY - What is this CREEPY Glitch??? - YouTube. These items of clothing belong to Humar, who walks on a loop around the Slums and passes Seamus’ flat several times.

| 🛈 | I’ve never noticed that digicode before. How did I miss it? | |
| 🛈 | I have no idea what the password could be. | |
| 🛈 | Hmm... what could the code be? | |
| 🛈 | "Time will tell?" | |
| 🛈 | Is that some kind of clue? | |
| 🛈 | "Time will tell?", but time doesn't speak. What does that mean? | |
| 🛈 | I’ve never seen this room. I can’t believe he managed to hide it from me all this time! | In the secret lab |
| 🛈 | These blueprints. They must be for his Zurk weapon. Papa was always so secretive with his work. | |

| 🛈 | You need a weapon for the Zurks, right? My Papa definitely took one with him. | |
| 🛈 | We just need to repair the Tracker so we can find him. Someone in the Slums should be able to help. Come with me, I'll open the door for you. | |
| 🛈 | The Tracker needs to be repaired. You're a clever one. Surely you can find someone in the Slums who can help. | |

| 🛈 | What’s this? Wait, is this my Papa’s? | |
| 🛈 | Oh wow, I never knew. | |
| 🛈 | There's a secret room here in our flat? But where? | |
| 🛈 | Ok let's go, I don't want to keep the door open for too long. | |
| 🛈 | This must be it. He really left the Slums. | |
| 🛈 | It's dangerous out there but I must be sure. I need to know. | |
| 🛈 | Let's do this. | |
| 🛈 | Look at all these Zurk eggs! They will eat us. I can't do this. | (Tells us: Zurk eat robots. Zurk balls are called "eggs".) |
| 🛈 | I'm not as fast as you. The Zurks will get me for sure. | |
| 🛈 | Here, take this badge. My Papa will recognize it. He will know that you're a friend. | |
| 🛈 | I'll open the door for you. | |
| 🛈 | I'm sorry, I can't go any further. I'm not as fast. The Zurks will get me. | |
| 🛈 | Please find him. Please bring my father back. | |
| 🛈 | Can we go home now, Dad? | Greeting after finding Doc |
| 🛈 | Yeah sure, I'm so happy he’s back! |
Unused Dialog[]
This dialog was not used in the game. Initially, it was planned that the Doc disappeared quite recently, and not years ago. The cat would have found the key to the safe with Doc's notebook, and Seamus would have found out that Doc had gone to find a Rikonium (Atomic Battery).
