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 Mineko's Night Market, Supraland: Six Inches Under and 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 terms.
On Your Tail features appealing, 3D visuals and nicely drawn illustrations on cards. The soundtrack adds to the game's charm.

ZdobywcyGier.eu: 5 / 10 by Bartosz Michalik
On Your Tail is not an entirely bad game. I don't feel that the dozen or so hours spent were completely wasted. It's a title you can play and have fun with, as long as you turn off your thinking. The title is imperfect in many ways. The technical side needs many improvements, including better optimization and camera work. The story is weak and poorly paced, and the characters are completely unmemorable. The town of Borgo Marina is a charming place where we can try some fun activities, but it's nothing that will draw you to the screen for a long time.
SteamDeckHQ: 4 / 5 by Noah Kupetsky
On Your Tail is a great cozy detective game that succeeds in almost every aspect that it needs to, with only some minor inconveniences sprinkled throughout. The core gameplay loop is solid, and I really enjoy the way you both get clues and figure out the timeline of events. The mini-games are also a great way to break up the loop, and the world itself is amazing and colorful to explore. It is a bit difficult to navigate sometimes, and using the Chronolens isn't the easiest, but it doesn't change how enjoyable the game is. And it is wonderful to play on the Steam Deck. The default settings look great and perform well, and with some slight changes to framerate and refresh rate, we can enjoy the portable experience, making this easily the best way to play.

On Your Tail is a cosy detective title that lets you see the sights and make friends all while stopping thefts around a gorgeous town, and it delivers on every (sea)front. Make time for this one.
