For example, he describes a hammer blow to his head as a form of flirtation rather than rejection. Pepé describes Penelope as lucky to be the object of his affections and uses a romantic paradigm to explain his failures to seduce her. One episode was in the Sahara Desert, with Pepe seeking to work as a Legionnaire at a French military outpost. Settings associated in popular culture with romance, such as the Champs-Élysées or the Eiffel Tower, are sometimes present. The exotic locales, such as Algiers, are drawn from the story of the 1937 film Pépé le Moko. They include Paris in the springtime, the Matterhorn, or the little village of N'est-ce Pas in the French Alps. The setting is always a mise-en-scène echoing with fractured French.
Penelope frantically races to get away from him because of his putrid odor, his overly aggressive manner or both, while Pepé hops after her at a leisurely pace. The cat, who was retroactively named Penelope Pussycat, often has a white stripe painted down her back, usually by accident (such as by squeezing under a fence with wet white paint). Pepé Le Pew storylines typically involve Pepé in pursuit of a female black cat, whom Pepé mistakes for a skunk ("la belle femme skunk fatale"). However, his offensive skunk odor and his aggressive pursuit of romance typically cause other characters to run away from him. Depicted as a French striped skunk, Pepé is constantly on the quest for love.

The protagonist pulls on the hair of their lover, Addie.Odor-able Kitty (1945) (preliminary version)įor Scent-imental Reasons (1949) (official version) Their crotches press together and they kiss. They rip off each other’s clothes and moan loudly to drown out the noise just outside their elongated isolation quarters - the sounds of screams at the end of the world. “Her gaze was unable to even stay locked onto me, just clawing my hips as she let out the most delicate and pathetic moans I’d ever heard. I kept filling my lungs with the cool air with sharp gasps, my head being thrown back as the little I could see from my dark room was lost in a blur. It was too easy, just erasing the whole world. I didn’t have to crave for reason or belonging, because feeling my heart pound in my chest had my veins pump the rush of lust and love.” For that one ephemeral moment, everything was right. This is Nadia Nova’s most recent game, 2021’s doomsday dreamgirl. It follows two new lovers isolated together amid the end of the world. Nova has been a prominent developer of queer independent games for the past half-decade now, producing 11 games and three comics. She isn’t interested in following controversy or trends, instead choosing to dive deep into the characters she creates. Nova’s work fills a unique niche on itch.io - sexually explicit visual novels featuring furry transgender gay characters. “As niche it may be, there is most certainly a demand for trans furry erotica,” Nova tells Inverse. There are other trans erotica games on itch.io, but few are as emotionally intimate and vulnerable as Nova’s work. Whether you came to play her games because they were hot or because they feature cute trans characters, you are in for a surprise. Her stories are far deeper and more thought-provoking than saucy genre labels might suggest. “I love showing the more complicated sides of this kind of interaction.” Make it euphoric “As much as horny things are great, things like these can easily be overlooked for the sake of wanting to make the sexiest story possible,” Nova says. That’s what makes Nova’s work so special. In all her games, even the smallest ones, there is a relatable depth to the characters and their situations. Part of this stems from Nova’s candid willingness to draw from her own experiences, but it also comes from allowing her characters’ emotions to intersect with their sexualities.Ībove all, Nova wants her stories to uplift trans characters rather than focus on their hardships.
