Cat's Eyes positive
Cat's Eyes turns the most dangerous part of the day — night — into something survivable.
Why Players Take It
It improves night vision. After the power fails, nights are near-total darkness, and being able to see in them is a genuine capability upgrade.
Early Game Impact
Limited while the power is still on and streetlights work.
Mid Game Impact
Large once the grid fails. Night travel and night defence become realistic options instead of blind gambles.
Late Game Impact
Permanently useful. Every night of a long run is a little safer and a little more usable.
Hidden Mechanics
It effectively extends your productive day into the night, indirectly giving you more time much like Wakeful does — the two stack into a serious tempo build.
