You’d be surprised to know that me being a furry has literally nothing to do with why I played this game–but yes, Sybil is very hot, yeah. Pseudoregalia is an absolute knockout gem of a game, being one of the first payed releases from indie developer Rittzler, and goddamn if they decide to continue in the gamespace (which they seem to be doing) I think they could be one of the great platformer devs of the future. With the overindulgent hype out of the way, Pseudoregalia is a classical metroidvania with an atmospheric and isolated dreamlike aesthetic and with some of the most kinetic and fun platforming this side of Super Mario. The only major complaint I have is the lack of a map (as of this writing), but that’s an issue I’ve heard Rittzler is working on addressing; I can very much understand why a map wasn’t included though, as making a three-dimensional map for a metroidvania is a massive pain in the ass from what I’ve read from Metroid Prime devs.

Rittzler should be immensely proud of this title, and anyone who likes platformers should check this one out.
