Episode 31 of Pussymon finally dropped and the first thing I notice is the boss fight. Not because it's hard, but because after you beat it, the game just... sits there. Three easter eggs hidden in area 06, each tied to a time of day. You can replay them once per day. Fine. But why make me wait for the clock to roll over just to see a scene I already unlocked? That's the kind of small thing that bugs me more than it should.

The new Pussymon count is seven, three of them being reworked leftovers from earlier episodes. Lizardish, Lepllanny, Valentina all get new scenes. The animations are smooth enough, 27 new ones with variations, and the text has over 350 lines added. The story finally gives some revelations near the end, which is nice because for a while it felt like the plot was just an excuse to walk around and trigger sex scenes. Not that I'm complaining about that part. The furry angle is strong here, and if you're into pussymon as a concept, you already know what you're getting. The quest structure is basic RPG stuff, explore, talk, fight, fuck. Nothing revolutionary.

One thing I keep thinking about is how the easter eggs are described as "a very enjoyable gift for our hero." Our hero. Like I'm supposed to feel bad for the guy. He's been collecting these creatures for 31 episodes now. At some point you'd think he'd learn to check behind the waterfall or whatever. But no, the eggs are just sitting there in area 06 after the boss. No puzzle, no hidden switch. Just... there. Maybe that's the joke. Maybe I'm overthinking a porn game. The cheat manager and bonus legendary scene are locked behind the Special Edition, which is annoying if you just want to see everything without grinding. But the base episode is free on Patreon, so whatever. The 2018 promises sound big, but I've heard that before.
