Impostor Syndrome

Impostor Syndrome makes your cat "quite suspicious," a vague description that likely ties into the game's social mechanics or Among Us-inspired gameplay elements. The exact mechanical effect is intentionally cryptic, but it likely causes other cats or NPCs to distrust or react differently to the affected cat, possibly affecting party dynamics, event outcomes, or combat behavior.

Impostor Syndrome is heritable and can pass from parent to kitten through breeding. It can also be acquired through events or applied with a Disorder Syringe from the Organ Grinder. The name references the real-world psychological condition of feeling like a fraud, but the in-game implementation ("quite suspicious") suggests a more literal interpretation related to suspicion mechanics within the game.

Since the exact effects are unclear from the description alone, players should observe how Impostor Syndrome affects their cat's interactions in and out of combat. If it primarily affects social or event outcomes rather than combat performance, it may be a relatively harmless disorder to carry. Test it in various situations to determine whether the suspicious nature triggers specific events, NPC reactions, or combat behaviors before deciding whether to keep or replace it.
