About Tails Noir

✦ AI summary

Play as raccoon detective Howard Lotor navigating a noir-soaked, dystopian Vancouver filled with animal characters as you uncover a deeply personal mystery through rich dialogue and meaningful choices that shape who you become. This cinematic narrative adventure subverts genre expectations with post-noir storytelling inspired by Lynch and Kaufman, stunning pixel art with dynamic lighting effects, and an evocative doom jazz soundtrack that immerses you in existential themes of change, loss, and what it means to be human.

You’re not special. You’re not a hero. Thrust into unfortunate circumstances, you find yourself with no other option than to unravel what might be your biggest case yet.

There is no choice. We change, but we change nothing. Get to work, detective.
Tails Noir is a post-noir narrative adventure. Become raccoon private eye Howard Lotor and explore dystopian Vancouver inhabited by animals as you uncover a deeply personal story of change and transformation.

Tails Noir is inspired by film noir, weird sci-fi, post-soviet aesthetics, modern political regimes, the works of Lynch and Kaufman, and existential philosophy of Sartre. It is a linear, cinematic narrative experience that subverts genre and challenges your perception of what it means to be a person.
Tails Noir’s gameplay is focused on storytelling and emotional expression, featuring rich and elaborate dialogues inspired by old school CRPGs, as well as exploration of the lush environments. The end of all things is inevitable, but defining which version of Howard Lotor reaches the conclusion is up to you.

As Howard, you will:
• Make meaningful connections with a diverse cast of characters in pursuit of truth
• Shape and express your identity through dialogue choices - decide what kind of person you want to be
• Explore and experience both downtrodden and flourishing districts of a strange, yet familiar version of Vancouver
• Come to terms with the universal pain of existence and loss
• Be a raccoon

Post-noir dystopia
Tails Noir's Vancouver is a dangerous place, bleak and dreary, but not entirely without hope. It’s a tale of a cold and uncaring world, interspersed with genuine connections and a bruised but undying drive to make a difference. Everyone wants to change the world, but not always for the better.

Stunning visuals
The breathtaking combination of high-resolution pixel art and 3D effects like dynamic lighting, pouring rain, volumetric fog and neon lights bring the sprawling City to life. Visit iconic Vancouver locations like Gastown, Granville and Fairmont Hotel, reimagined in a world now inhabited by anthropomorphic animals.

Evocative and unforgettable soundtrack
Original doom jazz soundtrack by Danshin and Arooj Aftab features an innovative combination of classic jazz and electronic music. Tails Noir’s OST is expertly crafted to create a cinematic, atmospheric, and simply jaw-dropping soundscape that serves and enhances storytelling.

Not recommended Sep 7, 2026
Loved the art style, but cannot recommend the game. Story in first couple chapters is really intriguing and certainly drew me in, but the rest of the game did not live up to this intro and in the end I feel kinda cheated. Like someone promised you a good bedtime story and then fell asleep themselves halfway through. Things feel rushed and unfinished. I bought this on sale and it does not feel worth the $10 I paid.

Remember playing the prologue when it first came out, finally decided to play the full game. Love the art and atmosphere, the music is just so good and now it's in my daily playlist, the plot it quite interesting and I find the ending actually fitting to the themes and story. But starting a bit from chapter 3 and really in 4 you can just feel that they were so SO rushed and that's just sad. Maybe if the creators were able to add even an hour of content it would feel completed, but right now, it doesn't feel like it is. (epilogue is perfect tho) With that said, still believe it's a fantastic game and a nice 4-5hr experience, but only get it on sale.

I know Eggnut is still on halting production on the series, but I know they are still around. If anyone reads this review then know that the end is a cliffhanger, and the story of the main character Howard Lotor is not done yet I know it for sure. There are other characters as well who's stories and endings have not been finished yet; including Howard Lotor. If anyone who were in Eggnut studios, RawFury, unreal Engine, or F-Mod studios can read this, please help plan to bring "Tails Noir: The Sequel" to life. I am not just loyal fan, but I am also a customer; like millions more who would love choices for the ending in the sequel to "Tails Noir" 1 (Backbone). If anyone thinks this is impossible try "Tails Noir The Preludes" and you will be convinced that a better sequel is possible to the series. The "Tails Noir Preludes" prequel is a favorite of mine and I really enjoyed it more than the gameplay, or choice options of this game. "Tails Noir" 2019 seems like part 1 of two, or three. All who can help former Eggnut people and any RawFury people are currently my favorite people. Love you all. Bring Howard Lotor back and he and the other characters will help their Vancouver Stand on Gua…

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
