In December, CD Projekt announced that musician Grimes would provide the voice of Lizzy Wizzy, the frontwoman of Lizzy Wizzy and the Metadwarves in the upcoming RPG Cyberpunk 2077. It also shared a bit of the music that she might be contributing to the game's soundtrack, but otherwise said nothing about the character, the band, or the role they would play in the context of the game.
In a recent livestream promoting her new album Miss Anthropocene, however, Grimes herself apparently revealed a little bit of the story behind the character. Naturally, this involves potential spoilers, so govern yourselves according.

If you've ever taken an outdoor-loving cat to a cattery, or the vet, you may have experienced a phenomenon where they disappear, right before you need to take them. It's almost as if they know they're going to be cooped up in a cage for a period of time. Work on your cat-finding skills a little with lovely hidden object game Hidden Cats, where the objects you're detecting are felines with names, and where you play as someone working for a cat sanctuary.
