The furry bait is strong with this one, and I’m not even mad. Pussymon episode 28 just drops you into these new outskirts areas without much ceremony, and suddenly there’s a side quest involving what I can only describe as a dommy mommy rabbit with a strap. My brain short circuited. The rougelike elements are there if you squint, you wander, you hunt, you fail a capture because the RNG gods hate you, but honestly the failure states are sometimes better than winning. The animations have variations now, which means that one fox type doesn’t just do the same loop, she’ll switch positions based on your choices in the quest chain. Messy, but in a good way.

Brimirny and the Red Rider get introduced like they’re going to be a big deal later, and the Red Rider’s design is just chef’s kiss if you’re into that whole masked, mysterious, definitely gonna step on you vibe. The boss fight this episode is a slog though, not gonna lie. Too much grind to get the right item to weaken her, and the drop rate for the aphrodisiac herb is busted. I alt tabbed to scroll Twitter while my character auto walked into walls for ten minutes. The cheat manager in the special edition probably fixes this, but I’m raw dogging the base version.

The humor lands weird sometimes, like a joke about a Pussymon that’s literally just a pair of floating lips with legs, and then a surprisingly tender moment where a catgirl talks about her past. The tonal whiplash gave me vertigo. But then you get a scene with the new legendary, and it’s so over the top with the fluids and the sound design that I forgot about the broken herb drop entirely. The side quest with the slime girl in the cave is peak degenerate material, and the screenshot folder on my desktop is now a biohazard. Just wish the map wasn’t so confusing, I got lost three times trying to find the exit.
