Tails Noir Preludes

Set years before the events of Tails Noir, Tails Noir Preludes is a narrative game that follows four characters through formative moments shaped by change, circumstance, and the consequences of life. The story unfolds through a series of interactive vignettes. Your choices matter most. Decide which traits you bring into your story and consider the impact you have on the characters around you.

Although the world is strange and the circumstances are different, the stories in Tails explore formative moments that everyone can relate to. Step into the lives of four characters: Howard, a photography major navigating college life with his roommate, Larry. Clarissa, an heiress who can never be good enough for her father. Renee, confronting the lack of agency in her life. Eli, a scientist beginning to question whether his work truly serves the greater good. Welcome, or welcome back, to a very different Vancouver. Set in a dystopian world inhabited by anthropomorphic animals, the city feels both alien and familiar, with a rich history inspired by art deco and post-Soviet architecture. Tails revisits the high-resolution pixel art, atmosphere, and locations of Tails Noir, accompanied by another soundtrack from Danshin. Its melancholic noir doom jazz complements the themes and characters of each story.
