Hogwarts Legacy’s maintaining of its playerbase is incredibly impressive.

Fair to say, it’s a lot harder for story-driven single-player games to encourage replayability.

Once you’ve played the game, you know what to expect so it’s only the sheer power of the narrative or the depth of the open-world that can possibly draw you back in.

That’s why titles like The Last of Us Part I and Red Dead Redemption 2 keep pulling players back into their familiar clutches.

It seems that Hogwarts Legacy has been able to tap into a fraction of Red Dead Redemption 2’s magic, packing its open world with fun little discoveries.

Yes, this is by no means a perfect open world – and there’s certainly room for improvement – but it’s a pretty good effort.

I have to say, I thought I’d seen all that this game had to offer but I’ve never stumbled across this particular find.

And it’s one which, I’ll warn, is a tad disturbing.

This discovery was brought to light by Reddit user ephemerasnape who simply wrote, “What did they mean by this?”

Accompanying the question was a screenshot of an in-game pile of mail except amongst the boxes was a perfectly wrapped cat.

There’s no way that cat can be alive, wrapped up like that. It would suffocate.

But I’m certainly hoping no one wrapped a dead cat either.

Please say this is just a very well-wrapped and realistically shaped plush toy.

“Don’t worry, that’s just the cat distribution system at work,” joked ArbVonX.

“Yeah sorry that was me I ordered a cat online, guess they accidentally delivered it to Hogwarts,” added Own-Balance-8695.

The OP found this small room near to the entrance hall outside of The Great Hall, but user lovianettesherry found a similarly wrapped-up cat in Hogsmeade Square.

“Poor thing can’t even rest in peace,” added the OP.

Whatever is going on here, I simply hope it isn’t as nefarious as it looks.
