About Tails Noir Preludes
How much impact do our choices have those around us?
Your destination may be set, but your journey isn’t. It’s time to make your choice, friend, on what kind of baggage you want to carry.

Taking place years before the events of Tails Noir, Tails Noir Preludes is a narrative game following four characters through formative moments of change, circumstance, and consequences in life and told through a series of interactive vignettes.
Your choices are what’s most important – what traits are you bringing with you in your story, and what is the impact you make on the characters around you?

Immerse yourself in a deep and meaningful narrative again and again. Character traits, branching dialogues, and randomized events open up new paths every time the stories are relived.
Keep track of all of your choices in the new branching tree, and explore all the different scenarios. With twice the wordcount as Tails Noir, Tails Noir Preludes dives deep into the different ways conversations play out.

While the world may be strange and the circumstances different, the stories in Tails are ones that everyone can relate to. Step into the shoes of four characters whose stories will reflect on different formative moments in life:
Howard, a photography major experiencing college alongside his roommate, Larry.
Clarissa, an heiress who will never be good enough for her father.
Renee, who's confronting the lack of agency in her life.
And Eli, a scientist beginning to question if what he is doing is really for the greater good.

Welcome – or welcome back – to a very different Vancouver. Set in a dystopian world and inhabited by anthropomorphic animals, you’ll find that this city both alien and familiar as you visit a world with a rich history inspired by art deco and post-Soviet architecture.
The same beautiful high-resolution pixel art, atmosphere, and locations of Tails Noir are revisited and set against another banger of a soundtrack by Danshin, whose melancholic and noir doom jazz perfectly accompanies the themes and characters of each story.

The prequel of Tails Noir. Just as the main game had the name Backbone originally, this was previously called Tails: The Backbone Noir. The game is split into 16 chapters, equally divided among 4 different characters. 1. Clarissa Bloodworth Decent. Her chapters explain how she came to power and make clear of her agenda early on, unlike in the main game where she reveals her intent at the very last moment with no previous clues dropped at all. Also her chapters show the most diverse locations, feeling less repetitive. They still don't completely explain her character, for example we still don't know whether she's a genuine savior type or the change of management type, but the amount of care her story got in this prequel is adequate. 2. Howard Lotor The OG protag guy... And the most irrelevant part of this game. His plot here is about his college life and how he and Lucky were BFFs and had fun together. No conspiracy, no artifact, completely detached from the main plot. Who invited this kid into this prequel? Dude wasn't even invited at the start of the main game, he wasn't in the loop. There's no story that needs to be told, all they needed to do was establish how Larry and Howard…11 found this helpful
An excellent compilation of vignettes that gives you a more intimate view into this exceptional worldbuilding. However, I was still left with more questions, and I can't help but feel like this game's content should have simply been integrated into the main Tails: Noir game. Both games' experiences would be amplified this way. I can't help but feel frustrated that I needed to purchase a second game in order to get just a BIT more context for the main story, and I am STILL left with many of the questions I had before. There are still things to unlock, still parts of the world I haven't seen and want to see. It makes me afraid that this developer is going to just keep giving the story to me in small snippets when they could have just provided one fully fleshed out game from the start. That doesn't make it less beautiful though. The writing in this is lovely, the atmosphere is perfect, the choices lead to only a couple different endings for each character but still felt meaningful along the way. I just wish I could purchase and experience one, fully complete Tails: Noir instead of having it portioned out.6 found this helpful
Очень жаль, что студия, создавшая эту игру, остановила свою работу, поскольку Tails Noir содержит в себе огромный потенциал. Соглашусь с комментариями о том, что Preludes – это больше про рефлексию, но как предыстория это отличная история в духе оригинальной игры, которая раскрывает лор уже знакомых персонажей.2 found this helpful
I played the "Tails Noir (Backbone)" 2020 game on ps5 and really can't wait for a sequel still. Playing "Tails Noir the (Backbone) Preludes" has convinced me that the "Tails Noir (Backbone)" series and Howard Lotor's journey is not over yet. I know people who used to work for Eggnut studios has hit a rough patch for three years now, but I am certain RawFury can find new management that can preserve the new future of the series, or create a new developer with new story writers in the to make a proper ending with the characters branching story choices. I understand former "Tails Noir" people, RawFury and whoever else that this needs to be done right to be great and in the right opportune time. The previouse story writer needs to be replaced. Never has there been more critical times to think on how Howard Lotor's return to Vancouver as a changed raccoon could tackle unintended issues his society faces. Never before has there been any need for Howard Lotor and the other characters to demonstrate a better theme for how a society like theirs can be reshaped from the aftermath of the events of the first game. "Tails Noir The Preludes" has been amazing compared to it's previouse game with…
If you haven't played [u] Tails Noir[/u], the first game from these developers, don't bother with this one, because it won't make much sense without knowing the story from the previous game. If you have played [u] Tails Noir[/u], this game feels more like DLC or content they didn't have time to include back then. It doesn't really feel like a standalone game. So, what's in it? The gameplay is mostly the same as in the previous game. There are a few separate mini-stories about characters from [u] Tails Noir[/u], showing different moments from their lives. The writing is still as good as in the first game, but it feels like they just put these stories together without turning them into a full-fledged story.
