“On Your Tail” Life-Sim Detective Game Set to Launch This December

Fans of cozy mysteries and light-hearted simulations, mark your calendars! On Your Tail, an upcoming detective life-simulator set in the charming seaside town of Borgo Marina, is making its debut on Steam this December 16th. Nintendo Switch users will have to wait a little longer, with the launch on that platform coming in February of 2025.

In On Your Tail, you’ll slip on the shoes of a detective solving quirky cases while balancing your daily life in a quaint, picturesque town. Borgo Marina, an Italian village filled with sunny skies and cobblestone streets, invites players to unravel a variety of light-hearted mysteries while mingling with an eclectic cast of townsfolk. From simple lost-and-found cases to more puzzling local affairs, your goal is to build your reputation while keeping your detective instincts sharp.

Beneath the cozy and laid-back atmosphere, the game is packed with depth and variety. You’ll not only investigate mysterious occurrences but also manage day-to-day tasks like decorating your home, cultivating relationships with other characters, and even enjoying local hobbies. Whether you’re gathering clues or simply hanging out at a local café, the game ensures that you’re always engaged in something meaningful.

Small-town Life, Big-time Mysteries

One of the most exciting aspects of On Your Tail is how the player can connect with the town’s residents—each with their own unique stories, ambitions, and secrets. The developers have emphasized that building strong connections with the townspeople isn’t just for the sake of friendship; those relationships will play a big part in uncovering important clues that help crack cases. Townsfolk might initially withhold information due to distrust, making it your job to earn their confidence before they open up to you.

Additionally, the game’s day-and-night cycle will impact how you approach your detective work. Some potential witnesses may only be out at night or in certain locations at specific times of day. This adds a strategic layer to your sleuthing, as careful planning and observation can turn the tide of an investigation.

Perfect for Fans of Slow-Paced, Low-Stress Games

While On Your Tail isn’t the kind of game to get your adrenaline pumping, it’s perfect for anyone looking to kick back and enjoy a relaxing yet mentally engaging experience. It’s got all the charms of a cozy life sim, but with the added appeal of putting your detective skills to the test. Think Animal Crossing crossed with Professor Layton, but with fewer puzzles and more social engagement.

Release Plans and Platforms

As mentioned earlier, PC players can dive into On Your Tail when it launches on Steam this December 16th. If you’re more of a handheld gamer, the Nintendo Switch version will follow shortly after in February 2025.

So, if the idea of sipping an espresso while piecing together clues in a picturesque Italian town sounds like your cup of tea, this game should definitely be on your radar.
