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.
