Mewgenics launched February 10 and reached #2 on Steam bestsellers with 115,428 simultaneous players despite being a single-player offline game. The game blends Slay the Spire, X-COM and Rogue Legacy mechanics, sending teams of cats into turn-based RPG battles and breeding victors to form new crews. Developers recouped a seven-year development budget within three hours of launch, and 650,000 people had played by Friday, implying over $12 million after Steam's cut. The game briefly exceeded Hades 2 in players. Console ports and DLC are planned, and the original soundtrack and merchandise are available.
