Indie Cat-Breeding Roguelike Elevates Neurodiversity to Gameplay Spotlight
Mewgenics, a long-gestating indie game by Edmund McMillen and Tyler Glaiel, has emerged as a surprise hit—a roguelike about breeding cats with 100+ mutations, including autism and ADHD—released on PC in 2026 and quickly topping Steam as developers report strong early sales; McMillen says the game invites players to 'read between the lines' and celebrate neurodiversity, drawing on his own family life after years of development.
