How we pick them
We compare the tags the Steam community gives each game with our own classification: what you do (action, story, building…), the difficulty, how long sessions last and whether you play alone or with others. Nobody pays to appear.
About Mewgenics
A turn-based tactical roguelite: you pick four cats from your house, give them a class and send them on an expedition to fight on grids. Back home, they retire and breed: the kittens inherit traits and mutations for the next run.
