Quite a bit of stuff in the new update. Anyone knows more about the " new achievements+ traits " part?
Two traits and two achievements.

Traits:
Engineered - (when trait is obtained) For every 0 gene, non-0 genes all get plus 0.2 to the associated stat growth (speed always counts)
Robust - Can't take more than 20% of hp in damage at once

Traits appear on the new uniques/bosses

Achievements:
Essence Collector - get 15 essences at once, unlocks MC trait Picky, which gives a common essence at game start
Avy Alliance thing - form an alliance with Avy's world. Can be obtained by defeating the new bosses or apparently some other way without fighting. Unlocks an MC trait that gives access to Avy's world.

I got this one for completing Avys quest without killing bosses
View attachment 3205962
Now I actually want Syvaron to expand relationship between MC and Avy. It seems dev really likes her and so do I
The succubus game is also sometimes called Avy's Ascension. She's the MC.

Also, here's an Avy easter egg: if you choose her as the 4rth MC and set her portrait to the one with wings, she starts as a Guardian with Fly movement.

And delicious soul slurping.

Kind of niche use, late game I am not even sure how you can get 0 genes. Still would be completely broken with Avy.
Robust - Can't take more than 20% of hp in damage at once
Wait would that work with Apocalypse? There is also Regenerate and Healing.
20% is probably too broken, it would be fine even with 40% or 50%.

The characters Robust comes on are already absolutely busted and I don't think you can get it otherwise. Seriously, it is the least ridiculous part of them, especially Flake.

(I thought soul slurping was implied by Guardian)

Getting 0s is probably something you'd have to so some setup for, although it's pretty easy to use if you play one of the uniques who has it innately. Notably after the trait is acquired, your genes no longer affect its bonus so you can raise genes afterwards through the, admittedly limited, ways you can do that.

The dev behind this game works on a few side projects/games which are all set in the same setting.
Their other projects aren't as complete, but playable enough for the dev to gain some feedback.

Succubus Game focuses on a bunch of succubi, who are competing in a kind of succubus academy.
Some of the characters also appear in Porals of Phereon (Like Avy and Xhana), and you might already have seen some of the concept art in the gallery part of the game.

And just like PoP, it's free and available from the creator Patreon page(which is the main post at the start of thread).
It adds a bit more world building and girls, but keep your expectations in check.
The game still needs a lot of work before it gets to the point where you can recommend it.

Why am i only learning about this now, syvaron is the gift that keeps on giving.....

This game is fun if it wasnt for the injury mechanic. It almost impossible to heal at the beginning of the game and even with the house upgrades and whatnot it still takes a while. Its just annoying and unfun. I don't even know why its in the game. I don't know why I'm nitpicking at this but this one mechanic for me just ruins the entire game. You can turn it off at the beginning of the game but that drastically reduces the difficulty score...

The beginning of the game has the healer in town every day in the market. But if you really don't like it, just play with it turned off -- "drastically reduces" is not super accurate, just throw on sparse or taxes. They're barely noticeable.

ps. you can recruit the healer if you use her I think 5 times. She can directly cure injuries for like 20 stm. There's also injury healing consumables you can make with the healing silk you get from tavern quests. (the healer unique also produces it)

pps. there's also another unique later on that lets you cure injuries with like cyborg parts that give a stat increase

You can also build an Infirmary at home that will heal up injured folks if they are resting. The town healer should probably show up more often than every 10 days. A few days at the start of a normal length run and twice after before the end of the game is incredibly punishing. This amount of pain around injuries does make tactical combat have some teeth, but you could have it be every 4 days and still have rough moments of having to wait a few days before that character can be used again as a major downside.

It's a mechanic I turned off at run start often early on. Lots of fights where a harpy hybrid with 10 strength schmooves past my line of high level combat monsters to pick off a low level seduction unique I wanted to try out or some spirits back when they didn't have innate extra speed. Alongside multiple mechanics to discourage fleeing and new ambush mechanics has led to some brutal failure spirals. Quicksaving before entering a portal to see if the fights there are possible without actually risking your party softens the blow slightly. Roguelite games for decades have debated the gameplay effects of save scumming and legitimacy, and I personally hold that it's fine for folks to engage with but balance shouldn't exist around assuming it's a tool in the player's kit.

I don't understand why ppl subject themselves to "unfun" options then complain about it..

i just downloaded the full unlockables sav file and roleplayed as an OP isekai cheat mc with all the difficulty options set to my pleasurable playthrough and i had a blast playing

it's a porn game it's not like i'm planning to post my "achievements" on my steam timeline

The game does have the proper depth and challenge as a game so the achievements are like a right of passage.
Especially if you play with limited saves where you can't savescum as much and it really puts you in tension where you have to play well, make strategic decisions and you have to actually eat your mistakes.
So I recommend trying the 600% achievement at least once too see all of what the game has to offer. You can tailor your experience after based on that experience.
I wouldn't do another 600% run either but I will probably do a permadeath limited saves run sometimes.

The attachment unlocks everything as of 2023-11-11 (0.25.0.1). It was originally created on Linux.

I guess instructions are needed (for some people?):

Place the file into PoP_V*_Data/saveData, overwriting your own. You must use new saves for Unlockables to work (as far as in-game stuff goes, Gallery should be unlocked no matter what), no matter who creates an Unlockables. I can't believe this needs to be said: Use exact filename and make sure you're not some idiot one using Windows without file-extensions shown... >_> If you can't figure it out, that is your problem, no support offered. By the way, you can restart the game (entire process) to re-shuffle the starting bonus traits (the ones highlighted in blue). For instance, getting God with a bonus.

Edit: Quote me and I'll update it. Try to only do that if it is something that you can't easily do. If I ever miss something, quote me, and I'll fix it.
pls update v0.26.0.0
