Story

The game follows the audacious goat writer Diana Caproni in the fictional scenic Italian seaside village of Borgo Marina as she uncovers some of the area's mystifying local mysteries.

Development

On Your Tail was developed by Memorable Games, an independent development studio from Italy. The game was first unveiled in Nintendo's Indie World showcase presentation in November 2023. During Summer Game Fest 2024 in June, a limited-run playable demo was announced and made available on Steam, only until June 17. Originally slated for Steam release on November 21, 2024, the game was pushed back to December 16. The Switch port was also pushed from its original February 2025 window, and is now set to release on March 13.

Original publisher Humble Games ceased operations in July 2024, with third-party company The Powell Group taking over publishing duties for future game launches.

Reception

On Your Tail received "mixed or average" from critics, according to review aggregator Metacritic.

Kyle LeClair from Hardcore Gamer rated the game 3.5 out of 5, praising the "colorful characters" and "gorgeous setting" whilst criticizing its "card-based mechanics during the detective segments a bit infuriating".
