Mewgenics is Coming! Prepare for a Bizarre Cat-Breeding Adventure
After years of anticipation, Edmund McMillen, the mind behind the indie hits The Binding of Isaac and Super Meat Boy, is finally unleashing his next creation upon the world: Mewgenics. Set to release later this year, this cat-breeding simulator promises to be just as weird, wonderful, and potentially disturbing as you'd expect from McMillen.
Forget cute kittens batting yarn balls. Mewgenics dives headfirst into a world of genetically modified felines, bizarre mutations, and strategic combinations. Think less Neko Atsume and more… well, something entirely unlike anything you've played before.
McMillen and Tyler Glaiel, the duo behind The End is Nigh, have been diligently crafting Mewgenics for over a decade. Initially announced back in 2012, the project experienced a period of radio silence, leading many to believe it had been scrapped. But like a mutated cat with nine lives, Mewgenics clawed its way back from the abyss, and the hype is real.
What We Know (and What We Don't):
Details are still relatively scarce, but here's what we've gleaned so far:
- Cat Breeding and Genetics: The core gameplay revolves around breeding cats with unique traits and abilities. Expect a deep and complex system with countless combinations and surprising results.
- Mutations: Prepare for the unexpected! Mutations play a significant role, leading to some truly bizarre and potentially horrifying feline creations. Will you breed a cat with wings? Tentacles? The possibilities seem endless.
- Combative Elements: It wouldn't be a McMillen game without a bit of dark humor and, well, combat. While the exact nature of these elements remains a mystery, expect some form of competition or conflict involving your meticulously crafted cat army.
- Secrets and Exploration: Knowing McMillen's previous work, Mewgenics is bound to be packed with secrets, hidden areas, and easter eggs to discover.
Why We're Excited:
- McMillen's Track Record: The creator of The Binding of Isaac has a proven ability to craft compelling, replayable, and darkly humorous games.
- Unique Concept: Cat breeding simulators are a dime a dozen, but Mewgenics promises something truly unique and twisted.
- The Mystery: The lack of concrete details only adds to the intrigue. We can't wait to see what bizarre creations McMillen and Glaiel have cooked up.
