Mewgenics secrets could take months or years to find, creator says

Nearly 15 years after its announcement, Mewgenics still hides far more than players can immediately grasp. The tactical roguelike sends teams of cats on dangerous adventures; survivors can breed and pass down traits and abilities. One writer reported being 40 hours into a first save and having seen roughly 14% of the game's content.

In an AMA on r/SteamDeck, creator Edmund McMillen wrote, "There's a lot of little things that I think people will be discovering for months or years." He added that "we will reserve the true ARG level stuff for DLC." Players familiar with The Binding of Isaac know what that could mean: when Isaac received DLC in 2015, fans unraveled a complicated treasure hunt involving updated icons, secret characters, cryptic social posts, ciphers, a phone number that required the right phrase, and even a real-world digging clue, all culminating in a new character release.
