Mewgenics has its very own Mr. Resetti that'll make 'a brain slushie' out of you and curse your cats if you save scum: 'No, seriously, I dish out IRL curses'

Mr. Resetti is one of gaming's most infamous characters, mostly because he's a bit of a meta jumpscare—if you quit without saving properly in Animal Crossing, he'll pop out of the ground to berate you like the Lorax.

Edmund McMillen on assembling Mewgenics' meow cameo list: "the inclusion of people with clashing ideologies felt appropriate"
