Mewgenics Features a Sonichu Cat Voiced by Chris Chan

by

The game Mewgenics includes appearances by many online celebrities, including Hila and Ethan Klein of h3h3productions. However, it especially highlights Chris Chan, a well-known internet figure. Chan voices the character Sonichu, a special cat players can add to their team, in the game.

Okay, so if you haven’t heard about Chris Chan – or Christine Weston Chandler now – it’s seriously hard to even begin to explain everything that’s happened! It’s become this huge, unbelievably documented online saga. Over the years, there have been so many crazy moments – things like this obsession with giant pickles, people pretending to be characters from Metal Gear Solid, funny parody songs (remember that one based on “I Want It That Way”?), and even petitions to get Nintendo to make a game based on Chris’s creations. Oh, and don’t forget all the talk about a dimensional merge! Through it all, Chris also created this hand-drawn comic about Sonichu, which is basically a mix between Sonic the Hedgehog and Pikachu. It’s a wild story, honestly.

How Mewgenics Doubles Down on Chris Chan References

Many people enjoy the Sonichu comics as a joke, thanks to their unique, easily identifiable art and bizarre storylines that often include details from the creator’s life. It appears the developers of the game Binding of Isaac, Edmund McMillen and Tyler Glaiel, are fans of the Chris Chan story, as they’ve included references to Sonichu in their new game, Mewgenics. This isn’t just a quick nod, either – players can actually add Sonichu to their team of mutated cats, and surprisingly, Chris Chan herself provides the voice for the character. While it’s an odd addition, considering how strange Mewgenics is with its breeding elements, the crossover actually feels surprisingly appropriate.

A bizarre Easter egg in the game Mewgenics allows the character Sonichu – a Sonic the Hedgehog/Pikachu hybrid – to appear as a stray outside players’ homes. Sonichu is considered the most powerful character in the game’s lore, originating from the world of “Jesus Christ Chan Sonichu Prime.” The game developers, McMillen and Glaiel, seem to have intentionally reflected this strength, giving Sonichu abilities focused on speed and electricity. What makes this reference even more remarkable is that the meow sounds for this version of Sonichu are actually made by Chris Chan, the creator of the original Sonichu character. Because Chan’s voice is so distinctive, this hidden detail is a particularly clever and amusing nod to the character’s origins that fans are sure to appreciate.

Adding to the many references, the game Mewgenics also includes the Sonichu medallion famously worn by Christine (Chris Chan) throughout her time online. The internet considers this medallion cursed, with many content creators who’ve jokingly interacted with it experiencing misfortune (like idubbz’ recent decline in popularity). Mewgenics plays into this legend by giving the medallion a special, negative effect in the game. Once equipped, it can’t be removed and permanently gives players extra electric damage and a higher chance of… well, needing to use the restroom. However, it’s expected to work well with the Sonichu character, allowing players to easily defeat enemies like hostile cats or those referred to as “jerkops” when the two are combined.

Mewgenics is a fantastic game for anyone who enjoys turn-based strategy, and it’s also a treat for meme enthusiasts. Players are particularly surprised to see the Sonichu character and medallion included, and even more so to learn that Christine Weston Chandler, recently released from jail, voices a character in the game – it’s something no one expected!
