Mewgenics Breaks Records with One Million Copies Sold in Just a Week!

Cat-tastrophic Success!

Hold onto your catnip, folks! The wildly quirky cat-breeding simulator, Mewgenics, has officially snagged the gold medal in the gaming world by selling a staggering one million copies in only a week. I mean, talk about a litter of success! The surprise reveal came from Tyler Glaiel, one of the masterminds behind this feline fiesta, who took to social media to share the news and possibly spill his coffee in disbelief.

How the Catnip Hit the Fan

In a humorous twist of fate, Tyler shared some fun stats that showed how the game’s hype exploded faster than a cat chasing a laser pointer. Before the reviews even rolled in, Mewgenics had about 400,000 curious gamers wishing for it. But once the praise started pouring in, that number ballooned to around 600,000! So, for those who thought its success was a no-brainer, think again! Tyler and his partner-in-crime, Edmund McMillen, were completely blindsided by this unexpected furry phenomenon.

And guess what? Players are totally digging the game! Even amidst some chatter about certain voice cast controversy, Mewgenics topped the charts on Steam with over 115,000 players at its peak. Just picture it: cats in pixelated glory all around! And here’s the kicker — it’s still going strong with more than 96,500 players dipping their paws in on a Tuesday afternoon. Not too shabby for a game involving cat offspring!

The cat community isn’t just yawning; it seems like the party’s just getting started! Glaiel also mentioned that the game will soon cater to more international audiences with updates for simplified Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Russian. And if that’s not enough, console versions are in the pipeline, and we can expect some DLC where we can adopt even more quirky cats in the future. Get ready to cuddle with DLC!

But hold your whiskers! There are some patches on the way, too! Glaiel hinted at minor fixes coming soon, although he did admit to catching a cold after the whirlwind launch. Seems like the cat got his tongue — or at least his energy — and he’s taking it easy for now. So, while we await new patches, let’s keep those paws crossed for even more delightful cat chaos in Mewgenics!
