SEOUL, South Korea--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov 21, 2025--

Minimum Studio, a South Korean indie developer, is redefining single-player console titles with its roguelike survivor-action game, Cat Girl Survivor. Though not a live-service title, the game delivers updates at a live-service pace—setting a new benchmark for single-player evolution.

A Single-Player Game That Evolves Like a Multiplayer Title

While most console single-player games receive occasional patches, Cat Girl Survivor delivers meaningful content updates within just one week of player feedback.

The secret is self-publishing. By releasing directly on PlayStation, Minimum Studio bypasses the traditional publisher approval process that could cause delays.

Minimum Studio explains that the PlayStation build is currently one to three weeks ahead of the Steam build.

Player-Driven Development That Actually Works

Guided by its philosophy of “Discovering fun through user feedback,” Minimum Studio rapidly turns player suggestions into meaningful game updates. For example:

• “Mystic Turtle Shoes” were added within a week when a level 1000 player reported movement speed growing too high to control.
• Controller shortcut for music change has been added under a week to allow BGM customization in Infinite Dungeon.
• When more high-tier equipment was demanded, 20+ new items, including S-tier and Salamander sets, were added in a week.
• A bug causing inventory lag when overloaded was fixed within a week by introducing bulk dismantle system.
• Level cap was raised to 1001 from 501 in two days with full rebalance upon player request.

Blending “Vampire Survivor” Mechanics with Subculture Charm

Cat Girl Survivor mixed the survivor genre pioneered by Vampire Survivors—with anime-style characters and a rich world where demons rule. The result is an unusually deep experience for a pixel-art title.

Extreme Build Crafting

Players can combine hundreds of weapon parts, S-tier equipment, and relics to create unique builds. With over 40 legendary skills (and more being added), hundreds of combinations are possible. Inspired by the Fire Emblem series, the game features a random level-up system, ensuring every player’s stats evolve differently.

The Infinite Dungeon: Endless Competition

The game’s Infinite Dungeon mode has become a playground for theory-crafters worldwide. Players compete for survival records, with the current top record standing at a staggering 25 hours.

This endless loop has even spawned player-made strategy blogs documenting optimal builds and techniques.
