Mewgenics, the cat-breeding indie sensation from the minds behind The Binding of Isaac and The End is Nigh, has shattered a remarkable Steam record. Over the weekend, it attracted an astonishing 115,428 concurrent players, claiming the title of the most-played roguelike on Steam ever. This achievement surpasses the previous record holder, Hades 2, which boasted 112,947 concurrent players five months ago. The game's popularity is a surprise to its creators, Edmund McMillen and Tyler Glaiel, who celebrated its rapid success. Mewgenics sold 150,000 copies in just six hours, recouping its development costs, and later achieved the impressive milestone of half a million units sold in 36 hours. The game's tactical cat-breeding gameplay has captivated players, and the team has confirmed plans for DLC and a console version, though release dates remain undisclosed. For those already immersed in the world of Mewgenics, guides are available to help navigate the game's classes and unlock every class.
