Description
Mewgenics: Hoard. Breed. Evolve. Conquer.
From Edmund McMillen (creator of The Binding of Isaac and Super Meat Boy) and Tyler Glaiel (creator of The End is Nigh) comes the ultimate “cat lady simulator.” Mewgenics is a turn-based tactical RPG about breeding cats, exploring a chaotic world, and watching your legacy unfold—or crumble under the weight of disease and inbreeding.
After years in the making, this highly anticipated title blends deep strategy, roguelike elements, and a complex genetics system into a bizarre, hilarious, and often gross adventure. Manage your house, breed your perfect champion (or a mutated freak), and venture out into the wasteland to fight for survival.
The Ultimate Cat Breeding Sim
-
Infinite Possibilities: The genetics system is staggering. Breed cats to pass down stats, abilities, physical traits, and personalities. Do you want a tanky cat with a shark head? A glass cannon with wings? Or just a really, really fat cat?
-
Nature vs. Nurture: It’s not just about stats. Your cats have behaviors. They get scared, they get angry, and they form relationships. How you raise them in your house determines how they perform on the battlefield.
-
Consequences: Genetics aren’t always kind. Inbreeding and poor care lead to mutations, diseases, and deformities. Manage the “corruption” or watch your lineage turn into a puddle of goo.
Tactical Turn-Based Combat
-
Class-Based Warfare: Your cats aren’t just pets; they are warriors. Based on their breeding, cats fall into distinct classes like the Healer, the Hunter, or the Tank. Position them strategically on the grid to take down enemies.
-
Elemental Chaos: Master the elements. Use fire to burn enemies (and maybe your own cats), water to push foes around, and ice to freeze the battlefield.
-
Permadeath: If a cat dies in combat, they are gone forever. Their gear is lost, their genes are halted, and you are left with an empty spot on the rug.
House & Legacy
-
Hoarding Simulator: Your house is your base. Fill it with furniture to boost stats, but be careful—too much clutter attracts pests and disease.
-
The Timeline: Mewgenics spans generations. Watch your cats grow from kittens to adults to elders. Eventually, they will die of old age, leaving their inheritance (and their traits) to the next generation.
-
Unique Aesthetic: Immerse yourself in the distinct, hand-drawn black-and-white art style that fans of McMillen’s work know and love, accompanied by a catchy and quirky soundtrack.
