  • [18]Steam user Steam user …5601Steam review · May 13, 2026 · Not recommended

    There is an in-game plaque that commemorates Italian soldiers that died on the Russian front in 1943. Which is to say the game commemorates fascist soldiers that died while attempting genocide of Slavic people in eastern Europe. In light of that plaque, some of the game's other odd choices start to nag, such as a police officer who is described as threatening to beat someone up at least once per day and also being a …

    10 hours in and there are still more mechanics and minigames being introduced. I'm shocked by the amount of content packed inside this not so little game. On Your Tail is a pleasurably dense vacation in a small town slice of life sim, with lots of intrigue and charm. The vibes match a non-horror SWERY game or maybe a fur inclined Yakuza, where you've got lots, lots, lots to do and all of it is fun. The town of Borgo …

  • [4]Steam user Steam user …0065Steam review · Mar 11, 2025 · Recommended

    I am definitely conflicted here. I think I do recommend the game BUT, there are some big issues. I loved the art. The vibe. The characters. The real feel of the cozy, small, coastal Italian town. The dialogues were good, very natural, with great reactions from characters. The stories were rather interesting, there was a lot of "cozy" content with the jobs, minigames, and some collecting. But. The part of it being a …

    Since I've finished the main story now, I think it's time for a review. I love, love the story, the characters, and the setting. The town is just so well done and gives you that cosy, warm holiday feeling. I wanted to get that feeling when I picked up the game, and I did get that. However, there are a few negative points that I think are holding the game back: The mystery cases are too hard. I had to use a guide to …

  • [8]Steam user Steam user …8038Steam review · May 18, 2026 · Recommended

    On Your Tail is a phenomenal game. There's so much to do and see in the game, and I'm genuinely floored how fun all of it is (except Marble Race 3, bane of my existence). Borgo Marina truly left me charmed and a lot of these characters are going to live in my head for a long time, and the optional activities and side content do a wonderful job of fleshing things out. You certainly don't need to do the optional …

    This seemed like a fun / cozy mystery game to play together of an evening. I'm a big fan of logic puzzles and we're both a fan of murder mystery tropes and cozy games. It definitely fulfils the "cozy" brief, with low stakes, cute animal people, fun interactions with friends and people around town, etc. Unfortunately it's let down by a few things. The good: - cozy feel, low stakes, fairly relaxing. You can even do some mindless colouring in one of the minigames. - Diana's expressions (and…

    An obviously extremely passionate game and one where I'm not really sure what to make of it? As a detective puzzle game? Bad. Bordering on abysmal, frankly. Imagine if you will, playing a Danganronpa game, but there is no trial segment. You do the investigation and then you immediately do the Closing Argument without any of the outlining that would usually occur in the middle. That is what On Your Tail is like. This leads you to just guess your way through the sequence of events, the game…

    I think I honestly regret having ever played this game, I'm so disappointed. The art style is pretty good and music is nice. The story is bad, I dislike it a lot. It started off fine, in fact I liked the first half, it was interesting. But by the second half it introduced magic which it then quickly debunks with what one character says, only to then bring it back and actually it was that the whole time, which honestly I would have preferred it stay out of that, but I guess I did predict it…

    The graphics are beautiful, but the game can be so incredibly frustrating at times. It's impossible to get out of certain tasks, such as cooking, until you complete them successfully. Some of the cooking tasks seem to fail no matter what I do, like the game fails to recognize that I'm moving the controls. The game is rather buggy in places, and if the game crashes or you have to kill the process, the next time you start the game it loads on the wrong screen, and moving it back to the correct…
