A summer adventure experience
On Your Tail is a delightful detective single-player adventure game that combines charm, mystery, and lighthearted fun. This cozy game puts you in the shoes of Diana, a struggling writer seeking inspiration, only to find herself in the middle of a puzzling case of theft. Developed by Memorable Games, it’s available on PC and console.
Whether you’re cracking the case as Diana or enjoying the town’s numerous activities, On Your Tail offers an immersive escape into a vibrant seaside community. It’s a refreshing take on the detective genre that balances intrigue with a touch of vacation charm.
A mystery game that’s more than meets the eye
On Your Tail is set in Borgo Marina which isn’t just a picturesque vacation spot—it’s a town filled with secrets. In this game, as Diana, you’ll connect with its eccentric residents, each bringing unique quests and heartwarming stories. These interactions are more than just charming—they're critical to solving the mystery of the phantom thief who’s been unsettling the town.
Furthermore, the standout mechanic in the game is the chronolens, a magical device that rewinds time at crime scenes, revealing crucial details. This magical device is combined with an intuitive card-based deduction system. With this, piecing together the mystery feels both rewarding and intellectually stimulating. The game also excels in providing variety. Beyond detective work, you can engage in relaxing mini-games like fishing, cooking, or even serving gelato.
These activities enrich your experience as a player and also highlight the game’s cozy and inviting atmosphere. What sets the game apart as well is its whimsical blend of storytelling, quirky characters, and engaging mechanics. However, despite the idyllic setting of Borgo Marina, the world may feel small or restrictive to players who enjoy open-world games, with limited areas to explore beyond the main storyline.
A must-try combination of adventure and detective journey
On Your Tail effortlessly combines the thrill of mystery-solving with the warmth of a summer getaway. The engaging gameplay, endearing characters, and vibrant world of Borgo Marina create a delightful blend of relaxation and intrigue. Whether you’re a fan of detective games or simply looking for a charming escape, the game delivers a heartwarming experience that’s as satisfying as solving a case on a sunny day by the sea.
