Abstract

This article focuses on *Mewgenics*, a turn-based roguelike video game centered on breeding and managing an army of mutated cats. Players engage in tactical combat using cats with distinct classes and abilities, while also managing a survival base where breeding passes traits to offspring. The game combines elements of strategy, role-playing, and survival simulation, featuring intentionally grotesque hand-drawn art and diverse encounters that require adapting to unique challenges. Despite its unsettling visuals, *Mewgenics* offers a complex and evolving gameplay experience that blends multiple genres. [Extracted from the article]
