Is there anything slicker than a frog? What about a sea frog with a rocket-powered wrench expertly grinding and sliding his way around an overflowing amount of dangerous, varied, and exciting obstacles and objectives across giant sea-faring vessels? Seafrog, developed by OhMyMe Games, is all that and more. There’s a huge amount of gameplay stuffed inside the seahole that Master Seafrog is trapped inside that you’re trying to get out of. I found myself thoroughly enjoying the overall experience, and the game fully took advantage of its designed systems.

Bearly Furcasting S5E23 - All Together Agin, Again

While at WonderCon we met Stephan Franck and got to check out their new full-color furry comic. Here’s how they describe it: “Romance in the Age of the Space God takes place in a world not unlike ours, in which Nate, Lydia, and Anya struggle to find their place and purpose, only to find themselves at the center of a mysterious plot of cosmic proportions. [It is] either the first chapter of a long saga, or an open ended short-story—only time will tell. It is part dystopian sci-fi thriller, part slice-of-life, part political satire. It is about life in a world where the unthinkable has been slowly normalized, and follows adorable little mice struggling to find their purpose and meaning in it.” Take a look at the preview pages over at the web site for Dark Planet Comics.

You’re on the case as the Duck Detective in the newest entry in the cozy and quaint series: The Secret Salami! I’ll be reviewing the iOS mobile app version that just released in April, but the other platform versions are exactly the same, save for the touch controls. There’s a wonderful charm to the style and humor that Duck Detective carries throughout its 2-3 hour runtime, which is buoyed by the personality-filled graphics and voice acting. Developer Happy Broccoli Games has a great thing going with this series, and The Secret Salami was an engaging mystery to solve.

Zoo Jitsu Fighters is a new full-color independent comic series, created by martial arts fans for those who feel the same! “Successfully funded on Kickstarter, this action-packed series plunges readers into a dystopian future where genetically engineered animals are forced to battle in brutal combat. Follow the heroic journey of Tiago the Tiger as he fights for freedom and justice in a world of exploitation and cruelty.” Created by Patrick Wang (a 2nd-degree black belt himself), two issues have been released so far. What’s more, recently Patrick and crew released a new line of tie-in action figures as well!

Furry True Crime is a genre

In 2024, the Fur and Loathing podcast came out with Guardian journalist Nicky Woolf and Dogpatch Press. The show investigated the Midwest Furfest 2014 chemical attack, based on previously unseen FBI documents and interviews across 4 states. Apple Podcasts gives it a 4.5 star rating, and it has 4.8 from critics, who call it “made with deep reverence and contribution from maligned, largely disenfranchised communities… I think Fur and Loathing is pretty much exactly what I want in true crime.” – Podcast Promise.

Those are results to keep in mind when expecting another Furry True Crime show on the way. They make 2 examples of this suddenly-a-genre (and there’s a third one coming later.) Other kinds of documentary may raise less eyebrows, but these examples aren’t fur-sploitation or salacious tragedy porn. Sorry, the mainstream already makes too much trashy stuff for weirdos who aren’t furries, go find it somewhere else…

Here you’ll find intensely curious investigations for smart people who care about problems and solutions. They feature experiences within the community, made with members, using pro resources to tell deeper stories than can be told without their combined forces. Socially responsible true crime media exists, and we’re already in it.

Streaming July 17, 2025 on AMC+, Sundance Now and SundanceTV (announcement)

The Furry Detectives: Unmasking a Monster is a docu-series about abuse that sometimes uses furry fandom as a cover. Any community can contain abuse, like schools, churches or Boy Scouts, because it’s part of society. Solving it can start with attention and resources that haven’t yet been applied.

The four-part series examines the 2018 Zoosadist Leaks, which exposed a horrifying conspiracy of animal abuse lurking beneath the fandom’s playful exterior. It follows citizen investigators and official police investigation as they confront abuse, fight for victims, and defend their community from the evil within.

One of few other documentaries in a similar vein is the 2019 Netflix series Don’t F*ck With Cats. It focused on identifying and solving crime by one person. This one introduces the organized group kind that makes a new form of cybercrime. It may educate the public about underreported zoosadism, a term that many people don’t even know. Why now? Look into the consequences there weren’t after the 2018 leaks.

The Furry Detectives: Unmasking a Monster is directed by Theo Love and produced by Alex Gibney’s Jigsaw Productions. Who are they?

When the mainstream media wants a look inside furry fandom and reaches out to this site, they’re judged by past work and intentions. These pros made an impression of top notch accomplishment and creative merit. Theo Love’s The Legend of Cocaine Island applies big-budget crime thriller style to an absurd story that stands out in its genre like documentary doesn’t usually do, with wit and heart. His Alabama Snake appraises a troubling character whose trial has him judged by his past, making a fable of sin and redemption. Story and character beat preconceptions in these movies. (Theo was happy to know they were seen by this reporter on first introduction.)

A truth this reveals about us all, from the bottom to the top of society

Crime stories can be accused of painting the community as bad. Transparency is good, actually. It says the problem is not the community members who work for solutions. It’s a problem with power.

Abuse can hide behind trust and respect, and the worst kind can come from the most respected people. Every community has powerful people inside, but it’s contextual while furries are used to being marginal without a lot of credit outside. Now let’s compare some people at the top of American society and how they treat animals.

Eric and Donald Trump Jr. proudly displayed the mutilated remains of animals they killed to corruptly impress other powerful people.

Article at People.com – RFK Jr.’s Alleged Troubling History with Animals: Blending Mice, Freezing Roadkill, Staging a Bear Accident and Beheading a Whale

Kristi Noem was Governor of South Dakota and is United States Secretary of Homeland Security. She published a widely-condemned confession of executing a dog named Cricket because he wasn’t obedient enough, followed by killing a goat because she wanted to.

“Treating animal life as so disposable is a shocking repudiation of the kind of relationships that so many of us have experienced with animals.” – The truth Gov. Noem’s puppy-killing scandal reveals about us all (Humane World for Animals)

“She was apparently still in an uncontrollable rage… Noem got angry enough to kill a dog and decided she needed to kill again.” – Noem’s dog killing was bad, but to really understand her, consider the goat (South Dakota Searchlight.)

This is a clue about how Noem later regarded humans when she made “gross and cruel” prison photos to show her power.

Cruelty from the top of society gives perspective when it exists among us, to neither accept scapegoating from above or dismiss it within. Being in community means knowing we’re not immune, but not helpless. We can take charge by empowering each other with knowledge.

You will see this represented by The Furry Detectives: Unmasking a Monster.

The evil that furry PR can do by putting optics over solutions

Setting a crime documentary among furries isn’t an attack. It’s telling a vital story through the experiences of witnesses, instead of a detached essay, like the movie Spotlight features a community confronting abuse in a specific church.

There’s many stories about furries doing charity and making people happy, but saying to only tell good stories doesn’t help the community. It promotes helplessness and lets other people tell stories for you, giving the power to those who don’t know you, and won’t be respectful for talking about you.

The Furry Detectives: Unmasking a Monster owns the power to tell it from inside, collaborating with selected partners who have experience and resources we don’t have. However, no matter how top notch the production is, it’s likely to get some inside backlash that happens so often to the media. You may hear denial, accusation of glorifying, or broad-brush dismissal of true crime as a genre, with lack of media literacy about shows we’re already in.

(Examples withheld to not feed a drama cycle.)

These are common experiences with Furry PR, which can be evil the same way that all PR can be evil. PR is used to push bias and suppress criticism. “Bias” applies to everything, when fandom itself is a form of bias; and it’s not necessarily harmful until it makes warped priorities — as in suppressing priority on solutions and victims, and moving the priest instead.

That happens in furry fandom. It comes with selfish priorities like keeping parties safe for people with social power, while neglecting safety of others and driving away people who are mistreated. Insiders who do that are the real enemies of your community and image. Suppression with warped priorities has been a factor in many fandom stories, including the 2018 zoosadist leaks, while reporting for public interest.

The task of public interest reporting

Public interest reporting involves seeing and hearing those who are unseen. It wasn’t a task chosen by this site; the 2018 leaks were dropped on it by surprise. There was no pay for high labor, pitching for deals, or strategic boosting for hype — just a stream of tips without resources to do what paid pro news does while the issues are highly underreported.

That’s how you can get inside insight here that won’t come from mainstream sources. The coming documentary is like the tip of an iceberg. It wasn’t made to generate exclusive material, but there will be exclusive posts for the $5 subscription level on Patreon for Dogpatch Press. The modest support there helps with intense work behind the scenes.

Dogpatch Press will be at the theater premiere of The Furry Detectives: Unmasking a Monster on June 10, at the Tribeca festival in New York City.

So there I was standing on the back of a space whale, looking for stickers to put in my book, when all of a sudden some weird tar appeared on the back of the whale! I knew immediately I had to save her! Pilo and the Holobook was a delightful experience with dazzling visuals, good puzzles, and stickers around every corner, literally! I loved exploring the beautiful worlds looking for stickers to fill my holobook while at the same time investigating the mysterious story. It was a short adventure, I 100% the game right at 3 hours, but I really did enjoy the experience and felt like this game could also be a great game for parents and kids to play together (or kiddos who can do it themselves.)

More cool stuff from WonderCon. This one we’ve heard was upcoming, but we’ve been waiting for the official release. And here it is! Littoral Magic is a new fantasy novel by Aaron Mason and Leslie Ann Moore — the first in the All Oceans Aglow series. “For Ayana Outerbridge, a biracial fourteen-year-old girl, summer vacations on the evergreen Pacific Northwest coastline had once been a time of play and relaxation. But now her father is dead, and all that was bright is now dark. Until one day she finds a strange and startlingly beautiful seashell… Just offshore, the river otter Sleek has broken the Law. He has entered the forbidden Garden to retrieve a mind-elevating gift for his true love Gloss, headstrong daughter of the sea otter king. His trespass threatens to push both tribes closer to all-out war. But will Gloss follow her heart or the rules of her kin? The fates of Ayana, Sleek, and Gloss will soon converge — and when they do, the all oceans will shine with an otherworldly light.” Find it now over at Barnes & Noble.

Quick and Flashy

A graveyard of rusted automatons, decorated in bright red grass. Hanging from the floating islands were gears, indistinguishable from stone. The area was called the Golem Gardens, a verdant ruin reclaimed by nature. Bushes and saplings grew from sentinels actively guarding the rubble. These machines, covered in detritus with the emblem of a vortex molded on their chassis, could easily kill careless Leapers. My best chance of surviving is to move, swiftly, find the openings to strike, and get away. Something I learned immediately after a sphere-shaped sentinel tried to hinder my paws with goo, was to never stop moving!

 Motion Twin’s next game is beautiful, bright, and fast! The world’s sundered and the floating islands orbit a raging vortex. Our role as Leapers, is to brave the hazardous vortex pulling all sky islands to it. Currently, these expeditions take us through 4 biomes, where we can unlock 17 different weapons, 14 unique trinkets, and recover 100 memories to augment all our abilities. The only way to traverse the broken landscape is to dash. In most games dashing carelessly makes you fall to your death, but not here. Every dash turns me into a beam of light that blinks from place to place. It’s responsive, and there’s nuance to be efficient. I could dash to avoid an enemy on your island, but there’s a short cooldown, if I blink to another elevation or small island neighboring mine, I can instantly dash again. I flash between platforms, evading attacks from aggressive enemies, and exploring secrets of a crumbling world.

 The weapons are immensely satisfying in my little Leaper’s arms! The Heavy Blade’s attacks are weighty and exceptional for smashing golems, Kunai are good opening weapons, applying a stacking curse condition that does tons of damage when detonated. My first weapon, a community favorite, the Fish Knife is a swift weapon with a simple three-hit combo that ends with a crit, making it the quickest weapon to trigger special attacks with my swapped weapon. Clearing islands and defeating enemies in every biome unlocks new weapons, like the Shrunken or Anchor Boom. As I progress the weapons I find become augmented with abilities, like burning enemies struck, covering them in goo, and doubling in size to outrageous proportions. To provide some auxiliary support, I’m given trinkets that could freeze enemies, blast enemies surrounding me, trap them in ooze, and more. The memories of past Leapers grant real power, I can cause shockwave blasts with every strike, absorb health for each enemy I kill, inflict extra damage to solo enemies, and gain bonus conditions that trigger my weapon’s ultimate Aether attack! Aether attacks are bombastic, signature strikes, that decimate foes and make me invulnerable during their animations.

Busting up machines and braving the vortex doesn’t have to be lonely. I’ve joined 2 other Leapers for expeditions, thinking fighting most Sentinels would be a breeze. You can trade aggro, share pools of potions, and trade items. However complacency invites mistakes, and eventually enemies get enhancements that could ruin us; elite mobs with shadow clones, made me withdraw and watch their moves. Some had orbiting lasers that burned my fur and punished me for mistakes, dashing. The loss of a Leaper used to put everyone in Sudden Death, where a single hit would’ve killed us; now it enrages the survivors, sending them into Revenge mode. We cause serious damage, but forgo self-defense, taking more damage and bloodlust makes us forget to use healing potions. Only when I’ve savaged enough enemies, covering my paws with blood and oil, do I leave Revenge mode. 

Though there’s a little story shared throughout the game, most of it’s passive, through enemy design, environments, and bosses. Early levels give the impression of an advanced civilization, fallen to ruin, with barely functional automation sentries. After the factory, my enemies aren’t hobbled machines, but healthy rat pirates, and later a map that reminded me there was a story this game wanted to tell, and it did so through enemy and map design. After you finish your first encounter with the final boss, and what it unlocks, it causes speculation, not about the vortex.

Windblown is still in early access, with new modes, maps, and more unlockables coming. They just finished a patch which added more story, and the Sanctuary biome, designed to make you question what you know about your home hub, the Ark. Twin Motion made a compelling world with map design, and character details, creating mysteries with barely a word, and the childishly innocent designs of this world are shattered as you mature in capability. Windblown is worth playing and following. Twin Motion is building something shocking at the eye of this storm, and I’m not changing course.

Though the Nintendo Switch 2 is just under two months away, Nintendo Switch 1 owners can rest easy knowing that the console is still getting a lot of love. In fact, a huge sale on digital games for Nintendo Switch is happening until 4/27!

Featuring a number of wonderful and acclaimed titles from third party developers. This is a good chance to grab one of your future favorites for a good price! Let’s check out some furry relevant highlights from this sale.

Recently we visited WonderCon in Anaheim, California. Lots to see, of course — and quite a few interesting furry things snuck in there, if you know where to look! The Council of Frogs is a new fantasy graphic novel by Matt Emmons, freshly released after a successful Kickstarter campaign. “Sent out by his ‘father’ – a kindly old swamp lich – one tiny frog must leave the safety of his home in order to deliver a message of grave importance to a warlock in order to save the entire Council of Frogs. Aided by many unconventional friends along the way, this little frog discovers the dangers of the world beyond his beloved swamp grove. But the world is a big, harsh place, and he may need more than his dandelion hat and a tiny sword to make it back home before it’s too late.” Find it now from Second At Best Press, and check out the review over at Comics Beat.
