How to start playing: basic tips
If you've just started the game, here's what you should pay attention to first:
Genetics are the foundation. Don't be afraid to experiment with breeding. Each kitten inherits traits from its parents, which influence not only its appearance but also its combat abilities in turn-based battles.
Layers of depth. As in other McMillen games, hundreds of mechanics lie behind the simple façade. The first 10 hours of the game are simply a learning curve for the basic interactions of elements and mutation types.
Resources and quests. At the start, focus on completing basic quests to unlock new items and furniture for your home. This will help you heal and train your pets more effectively.
Death is inevitable. Your cats will age, get sick, and die in battle. The beginning of the game is a time of trial and error, where losing a pet is part of progress (discovering new genes).

Act 1: The House's Surroundings
The first act is dedicated to forays outside the house and includes urban and underground locations.
The Alley is the starting location, available immediately.
The Sewers - Unlocked after completing the Alley for the first time.
The Caves - becomes available after completing the Sewers.
The Junkyard - Unlocked by completing the "hard way" in the Alley (only available after winning the Caves).

The Throbbing Domain is a secret final area of ​​Act I. It requires passing through a "meat wall" in the Caverns or a "vein wall" in the Bone Graveyard using special items from the Guillotine boss.

Chaos: A powerful boss that uses the abilities of other bosses (such as Flushmaster or Cerberubs).
God the Creator: The final opponent in one of the storylines.
The Coven (Ковен): Act 3 boss, considered one of the easiest final bosses of its stage

4. Leveling up and progressing
   Levels: Cats gain levels after victories. At levels 2 and 5, you choose new active skills, at level 3, passive skills, and at level 4, a stat boost.
   Unlocks: Completing stages (Alley, Sewers, Caves) unlocks new items and abilities for all future cats.

3. Tactical tips for combat
   Battles take place in a turn-based mode on a tile grid:
   Positioning: Never expose your back to the enemy—attacks from behind inflict increased damage. After completing your turn, you can click on an empty square next to the cat to rotate it.
   Environment: Use grass to dodge (50% chance), rocks to throw, and destructible objects to block paths.
   Mana: Keep an eye on your Intelligence (mana regeneration at the end of your turn) and Charisma (starting and maximum mana).
   Simplified View: If there are too many effects on the screen, hold down CTRL (or the middle mouse button) to switch to a schematic view of the battle (green - allies, red - enemies).

2. Combat Prep
   Before you go on a run, you form a team of 4 cats and choose collars for them, which determine their class:
   Cleric: Critical early on for healing, as health regeneration is limited in the game.
   Fighter/Tank: Cats with high health and strength for the front lines.
   Mage/Ranger: Cats with high intelligence and agility for ranged attacks.

1. Home Phase
   At the start of the game, your house consists of one room. This is where you prepare for races and breed new generations:
   Breeding: To breed new cats, you need to leave two cats of different sexes in a room. The chance of producing offspring depends on the Comfort level.
   House Features: You can upgrade rooms with furniture purchased from merchants (Little Jack, Tracy).
   Comfort: Affects the breeding rate. If the level is too low, cats will start fighting.
   Stimulation: Increases the chance of inheriting parents' skills.
   Health: Speeds up the healing of diseases and injuries.
   Hygiene: Clean up excrement in your rooms. Each pile reduces your comfort level by 1.

Mewgenics (pronounced "Mewgenics") is a large-scale tactical RPG with roguelike elements from Edmund McMillen, creator of The Binding of Isaac and Super Meat Boy.
Gameplay
The game is a hybrid of a cat breeding simulator and turn-based battles:
Breeding and Genetics: The core of the game is selective breeding. You collect cats, crossbreed them, and produce offspring with unique characteristics. Each cat has its own genetic code, which determines its appearance, abilities, and personality traits.
Turn-based combat: You lead a team of your pets on raids across a procedurally generated world. Battles take place on a grid-based battlefield, where positioning and skill combinations are crucial.
House Management: Between battles, you furnish your home, treat your cats for illnesses, and monitor their health. Cats can age, die, or develop strange mutations.
Scale: The game features hundreds of items, enemies, bosses, and millions of possible gene combinations.
Plot
The game doesn't have a clearly defined linear narrative, as it's a roguelike focused on replayability. However, the overall concept is built around:
Survival in a Strange World: The game world is filled with grotesque creatures and dangers, typical of McMillen's style.
Evolutions: The story is "written" by the history of your family tree. Each generation of cats continues the path of their ancestors, trying to penetrate ever deeper into this crazy world.
Lore and Secrets: Through items, NPC encounters, and boss encounters, the story of the universe, full of dark humor and dark secrets, is gradually revealed.
