", the cat-breeding tactical roguelike developed by Tyler Glaeil and The Binding of Isaac's Edmund McMillen, is still enjoying its moment in the sun. After earning its entire development budget back in its first three hours of release on February 10, smashed its 24-hour-old record of 65,962 concurrent players on Steam yesterday, drawing in 83,956 players on February 11. It will almost undoubtedly do the same again today."
"However, even though Glaeil stated that it will likely take "months or years" for players to find everything hidden away in , at least one person took less than 24 hours to discover a character named Steven.

A cat-breeding tactical roguelike has surged in popularity, recouping its entire development budget within three hours and breaking Steam concurrency records with 83,956 players.
