So here's some wild news for your Tuesday - Mewgenics just crushed the million copy mark on Steam. Tyler Glaiel dropped the news on social media earlier today, and honestly? Good for them. This game's been such a weird journey to watch unfold.
For those who haven't been following this saga, Mewgenics is Edmund McMillen's latest fever dream. You know, the guy behind Super Meat Boy and The Binding of Isaac. This time around, he teamed up with Tyler Glaiel to create what I can only describe as the most chaotic cat breeding simulator ever made. Think Tamagotchi meets genetic horror show, and you're getting close.
What makes this milestone extra impressive is how long this game took to actually release. McMillen first announced it way back in 2012 - yeah, you read that right. The project went dark for years, got reworked from scratch, and finally dropped on Steam just recently. Most games that go through development hell like that? They usually flop hard. But Mewgenics clearly struck a chord with players who wanted something genuinely different.
The game's success proves there's still a huge appetite for weird, experimental stuff on Steam. In a year where we're drowning in sequels and remakes, it's refreshing to see something this bizarre find its audience. And knowing McMillen's track record, we're probably gonna get years of absolutely unhinged updates.
Congrats to the whole team. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go check on my mutant cat colony before they overthrow my save file again.
