On Your Tail

This is one of my favorite games personally. I love everything about it. I haven't found anything I dislike yet. I've found some bugs here and there and some stuff that makes it stand out as an indie game, but nothing game-breaking or that makes me feel discouraged. The game is very impressive really. I just kept exploring the town last night and expecting to be told I couldn't go any further, but that just kept not happening and I kept being able to explore more and more and more. The level of detail that went into this town is amazing. I can see why it was compared to Shenmue (I think that was what it was called... It was a SEGA dreamcast game kind of like Yakuza) now... But I personally consider it to be more similar to Persona without combat... It's like add Professor Layton to Persona and subtract a high school and French inspired cartoon art of a british detective and you've got On Your Tail lol... I'll write a better review later, but so far I LOVE this game and sincerely hope it gets more content and I hope we see Diana in a series yet to unfold. It would be awesome to even play a prequel series as her grandmother and explore the world or something... Idk... I love this game so much. I constantly can't help but imagine them walking around humans on leashes though lmao... or like I expected to see little humans swimming around in the aquarium... and then I wonder where they get the milk to make cheese, but before my mind goes too deep into hentai ♥♥♥♥ I have a fail safety switch that reverts to laughter and back to focusing on the game lmao

[quote][url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Furry_fandom][b]Trigger Warning: Furries.[/b][/url] This game contains anthropomorphic animal characters.[/quote] This is a furry centric mystery/VN game on the Nintendo Switch, and a poor console port indeed. Incredibly long, badly written and hard to skip VN scenes accompany the protagonist, a female rodent (edit: The developer wants us to believe their furry art is that of a goat.. I'm not judging, but it's not great art if you can't easily tell), on a journey through an Italian villa that turns into Frog Detective meets Stardew Valley, only worse than both. You'll do a bunch of trite and pointless minigames, many of which seem to be an imaginationless attempt from the developer to convince the audience this is a game instead of just a badly written furry fan-fiction. The plot follows said rodent through what starts out as a crime mystery then devolves into a poorly written fan-fiction about magic spells and the supernatural. Just when you were hoping for a charming slice of life, only with all the charm removed because it's a furry fan-fiction. From a technical perspective, the game doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard. There's an overwhelming amount of mediocre Visual Novel/E-book style cutscenes in this game. The developers failed one of the most basic, fundamental requirements of game design.. "Show, don't tell." So you'll spend a huge amount of time not playing the game, but clicking through endless lines of poorly written VN text cutscenes because the developers couldn't work out how to relate their narrative through the game mechanics, and decided instead it would be better to compete with reading a book for your time. There's no voice acting either, it's all grunty "Simlish". We're here to play games, not read through hours of garbage intersituals. Your gaming rig is not a Kindle. This is a very poor quality console port. The game hasn't been patched in 6 months and still contains some softlocks and other serious bugs. Translations into English are in some places poor or missing. Google Translate should not be used for game localization (I assume that's what they did). Because this is designed for handheld/portable gaming appliances, it carries a number of deliberate design deficiencies. Compromises were made to cater to the low power handheld gaming appliances that the game was designed for. These are unfortunate compromises and limitations that PC gamers shouldn't be forced to accept, but it's evident that PC was a second thought for the mobile game developers. The game is deficient as a result of these choices, and would have been so much better without the handicaps that designing games for low power handhelds forces upon a game. While this might run well on a Steam Deck, we must remember the vast majority of gamers here are gaming on PC. The graphics in this game are passable, but could be better. And while it's vital for any game to have impressive visuals (gaming is a visual medium, after all), there's more to a game than just the graphics. To be worth a gamers time and money, the game must match top tier visuals with top tier gameplay, and that's not happening here. PC gamers will be insulted by the demand from the developer that a console peasant children's toy controller should be used, despite this being on PC. Developers should try to be aware which platform they're developing for, and must never, under any circumstances dictate to gamers how their games are to be experienced. The controls can't be customised, which will be an annoyance for many, but it can also render the game unplayable for differently-abled gamers, left handed gamers or gamers using AZERTY or other international keyboard layouts. Another defect in the game caused by the console-peasant-centric design is the intolerably bad camera controls. Mouselook is badly decoupled from movement, and control of the viewing angles is deliberately outside of reasonable control from the user. This defect springs from the limitations of inferior console peasant children's toy gamepads, but on PC we don't have this limitation due to KB+M controls... however, the developer deliberately chose to arrogantly foist this handicap onto PC gamers. Out of spite, or laziness, it's unclear, regardless, once more console peasants and console devs have made gaming worse for everyone. Those technical flaws drag this game well below the minimum quality standards expected of a modern PC game. Let's talk about pricing and the actual value this has for gamers. Is this game one of the best of the 140,000+ games on Steam? On Your Tail has the preposterous price of $20 USD, for which you could easily get any number of older AAA games. For comparison, the $20 asking price for this game could get you games adapted far better for PC, like "The Outer Wilds", "Yakuza 0" or "Red Dead Redemption 2". Quality, professionally made games like those are frequently on sale cheaper than this. Given the defects and quality issues with the game, coupled with the unrealistic price, this is impossible to recommend.

An all-around excellent game! A fun story with so many charming characters and art. The mini-games were engaging and surprisingly difficult at times. The main puzzles can be a pain in the ass but I never stayed angry. An Italian Furry vacation that you hate to leave.

This has be a truly amazing game to play. A mix of playing a buddy detective / writer, building amazing relationships, and a absolutely awesome storyline. I genuinely felt like I was part of the story, and as it progressed, I started to get attached to all of the characters, with their own unique traits and storylines. Honestly, I nearly cried at the end! Its a beautiful game, and I feel privileged to play it. I really, really hope there'll be a On Your Tail 2, in the future. 5/5 ⭐

The game reminds me of Nancy Drew, but in my opinion, it is more enjoyable and has a cuter style. It takes place in a small Italian town, which gives it a charming atmosphere. Personally, I found it a little slow since I prefer action-packed games. However, if you like relaxing, cozy games, I think you would really enjoy it. I definitely recommend it.

One of the best narratives I've experience in years... Even more so since it kinda hits close to home ;w; . Truly a hearwarming, fun and overall MEMORABLE playable work of ART! Kudos to all who worked on this indie gem !

Sehr nettes Cozy game
