Try out our new dual Cat Creator and breeding demo HERE
We're consistently updating it with new patterns and breeds!
More about our project under the cut!
PawBorough is an interactive cat-based RPG currently in development. PawBorough invites users to collect felines of all different stripes, lineages, and colors, breed them together to discover exciting new combinations, go on quests with a unique dungeon crawling system, and build a web of relationships to personalize the player experience.
Players are encouraged to express creativity as they complete quests by embracing and expanding on the story provided for them. PawBorough uniquely incorporates adventuring elements into its gameplay, including inspiration from community storytelling and tabletop adventure games. You as the player will help decide the direction of the sitewide campaign, collectively interacting with our NPCs and driving the story through everyday play.
You will choose which of the seven Boroughs to join, each with their own unique aesthetics and cultural practices. You will be given a camp to build, leveling your cats and expanding through the fictional world as you discover new items, foster relationships, and dress-up your unique felines!
Keep up with our development by following this blog, checking our Kickstarter, or to keep in touch with our growing community and discuss updates, consider joining our Discord.

Development Update - May 2023

Topics covered include:
Battle Demo & Guide
Quarter 4 (2023) Rewards Reveal
Beast Creator Contest
New Homepage Splash Screen
More info available under the cut!
Battle Demo Guide
Welcome to Mythaura's battle demo! Here's a concise guide to help you navigate the 3v3 battles and make strategic decisions:
1. Battle Setup
The battle takes place between your beasts (on the left) and the enemy beasts (on the right) and ends when one side is defeated. For this demo, all beasts in this demo are level 1 and have average size for their species.
2. Beast Details
Click on the info icon in the corner of your beast's avatar to view its details. From here, you can read their abilities and see a breakdown of their stats.
3. Elements
Each beast has 2 elements, including a species element that is always shown. You won't know your opponent's secondary element.
For this demo, a beast's secondary element is currently randomized.
Check the elements page for more information on elements and for a breakdown of type effectiveness.
4. Turn Actions
Each turn, your beasts can perform one of the following actions:
Use an ability or surge ability.
Defend themselves or an ally.
Rest to regain stamina.
Once all players have submitted their actions, the round is resolved with the following priority:
Resting beasts rest first.
Defending beasts defend next.
Abilities are resolved.
Within each action type, the order is determined by ability priority, beast speed, weight (with lightest going first), and then randomly if all those values are the same.
5. Abilities
Beasts start with 4 abilities: one surge ability (species-based), one neutral ability, and one ability for each element. If a beast's species and individual element match, they will have 3 abilities.
Abilities with elements can be super effective or resisted, affecting the damage dealt. Pay attention to moves' effectiveness and your foes' abilities for better results.
Abilities incur fatigue and the fatigue cost is shown on the ability button.
Abilities will generally have a small chance to miss or be a critical hit. The chances of these can vary per ability.
Abilities have 3 types: Combat, Projection, and Support.
Combat: Attack vs Defense
Projection: Focus vs Barrier
Support: Non-damage dealing abilities
6. Surge Abilities
When a beast's surge meter is full, they can use their surge ability for a powerful effect. Surge abilities don't incur fatigue and never miss. After using a surge ability, the surge meter goes back to 0%. Please note that the surge abilities in this demo may be changed before the game’s official launch.
7. Defending
Beasts can defend themselves or allies, reducing incoming damage by 75% for that turn. This effect does not stack. Defending slightly charges the defender's surge meter and recovers a small amount of stamina.
8. Resting
Resting recovers a substantial amount of stamina and a small amount of health.
Remember, understanding abilities, elements, defending, and resting will help you make the best decisions during battles. We have provided an in-app form you can use to report bugs and provide feedback. Good luck and enjoy the demo!
Planned battle demo updates for the future:
A "quick queue" button that queues with the first available other quick-queue person and does not require a PIN
PvE Mode versus an ai battler
Timeout for move submission
Controller support
Weather effects
Ailments
Ability to set desired element from the queue screen
Better reporting and improvements to history, such as remembering when you discover a super effective element on a specific opponent

Homepage Splash Screen
Our wonderfully talented senior artist, Luci, created a scene detailing an early stage in a group of adventurers' journey in Mythaura. This perfectly captures the vibe of the opening series of introductory quests that players will undertake at the start of the game. We hope you enjoy the art, and hope that you look forward to playing through Mythaura's single-player story when we launch!
Mythaura v0.17
Updated homepage layout
Merged and finalized battle demo, fixing several bugs found along the way
Thank You!
Thanks for sticking through to the end of the post! We hope you love the battle demo and are looking forward to your feedback, which will help shape the nature of the game while still in its early development--leading to a lasting impact when Mythaura launches. Your help here is invaluable!
See you around the Discord!
