What is Mewgenics?
Set in Boon County, this 2D tactics RPG follows a growing household of cats sent out for food, money, and treasure. You equip class-specific collars, position squads in battles, and combine abilities with environmental interactions. Between runs, you breed cats to pass down skills and mutations, and give cats to NPCs to upgrade your house.

- +you enjoy experimenting with unusual combinations of abilities and traits
- +you like dark humor and grotesque cartoon cats
Not for you if...
- −you want reflex-driven action rather than deliberate tactical decisions
- −you prefer a stable roster over managing successive generations
