An atmospheric adventure game by Memorable Games, starring an aspiring detective Diana. On Your Tail is set in a seemingly serene coastal town of Borgo Marina, tasking us with discovering its secrets.
On Your Tail is a relaxing adventure game and a life sim revolving around solving the mysteries of a charming, Italian town. It was developed by Memorable Games, once known as MixedBag before rebranding and expanding after ten years of its existence. The game was published by Humble Games, known for such games as Signalis.
The game is set in a coastal town of Borgo Marina, its protagonist being Diana, an aspiring detective searching for a nice place to spend the summer at. Her search leads us here: she'll get to discover new places, meet new people, take part in popular regional activities and solve some of the town's most puzzling mysteries.
The game makes use of the third-person perspective. Playing as Diana, players will experience everyday life in an idyllic town and put their investigative talents to a test.
We must explore the streets and local shops, searching for clues to identify the thief rampaging in town. The gameplay's inspired by card games, combining investigating, interrogating and deduction, tasking us with drawing the right conclusions to the puzzles we face.
Apart from investigating, On Your Tail also features some more relaxing gameplay. As we travel the game's world, we can talk to its inhabitants, help them with their problems and make friends.
During downtime, Diana can also make use of the town's attractions, walking on the beach, cooking delicious local cuisine and fishing to earn an extra buck. There's also sandbox mode, which lets us devote ourselves to as many side activities as we please, all on our .
On Your Tail features appealing, 3D visuals and nicely drawn illustrations on cards. The soundtrack adds to the game's charm.

Game Ratings for On Your Tail Video Game.
Impulsegamer: 2.3 / 5 by Nay Clark
On Your Tail is a refreshing game in the mammoth sea of what you normally see out in the wild west of gaming. You can easily tell that On Your Tail is a well thought out game filled with purpose and ambition. The games' fully explored ideas and established implementation of its mechanics effortlessly sells you on its intentions. The great graphics, character designs, and other elements of the gameplay like going on dates, delivering mail, making phone calls, collecting artwork, solving riddles, and finding hidden star constellations create a game with a lot of merit. Sadly, the Switch version is just not worth anyone's time due to uncompromisable issues that completely halt your experience making this game frustratingly unsatisfying.
Video Chums: 3 / 5 by A.J. Maciejewski
If it wasn't for its poor performance on Switch, On Your Tail would be a must-have detective game in all of its anthropomorphic glory. ??
Hardcore Gamer: 3.5 / 5 by Kyle LeClair
On Your Tail can be a bit rocky at times, with the game sometimes struggling to balance both its life sim and detective elements, not helped by some awkward gameplay segments surrounding the core mystery. Still, thanks to a strong and lovable cast of characters and a gorgeous little town filled with a lot of fun stuff to do, there's a ton here to enjoy, especially for those looking for something more cozy to chill out with. Indeed, it's a nice little vacation worth taking.
