    On Your Tails is one of the most charming and surprising adventures we've played this year, even when it's held back by some gameplay flaws.

    On Your Tail can be a bit rocky at times, with the game sometimes struggling to balance both its life sim and detective elements, not helped by some awkward gameplay segments surrounding the core mystery. Still, thanks to a strong and lovable cast of characters and a gorgeous little town filled with a lot of fun stuff to do, there's a ton here to enjoy, especially for those looking for something more cozy to chill out with. Indeed, it's a nice little vacation worth taking.

    On Your Tail has atmosphere, fun mini-games, and beautiful craftsmanship, but such pleasures are undermined by its uninspiring story and tedious detective mechanics. A decent starting point for a hopefully more cohesive adventure to come.
