    scrolling through the Raw Fury sale and seeing Tails Noir (previously known as Backbone) Preludes and it just reminding me of how the ultimate plot point of the original game was "we cannot let people find out that Toronto exists"

    It's another mystery game! Finished Tails Noir today. Dystopian Vancouver setting and an anthropomorphic cast. The gritty noir mystery takes a turn midway through... Two in a row with mystery and an anthropomorphic cast--this one goes much darker than Beacon Pines.

    Writing Rocket from the excellent Guardians game feels like cheating so I’ll go with Howard Lotor of the overlooked Tails Noir, an Excellent mystery game that I highly recommend. Raccoons also really fit perfectly the sad sack gritty PI solving crimes while having an existential crisis Motif.

    Finished Tails Noir. What a great game. Yes, the ending is a little abrupt, yes Clarissa's motivations are somewhat handwavy, but I still felt the final act overall was fitting for both a hard boiled detective story AND a Lovecraftian horror. No mean feat, that.

    Tails Noir might be the most beautiful first half of game I’ve ever played. Left me annoyed, feeling like my time had been wasted. I understand the studio had troubles, but I’ve never seen a game start so strong and faceplant this hard before. It just feels bad.

    13. Tails Noir. Funny story here. I was hyped for this game back when it was first announced, and really planned on playing it, but pretty much the day when I decided to do so, the devs decided to cancel the rest of the project, which really hampered my desire to play it...

    Backbone/Tails Noir. From the trailers it looked like a fun edgy furry noir game with absolutely beautiful pixel art and I was right... For the first half. After the midpoint, the game makes a complete 180 and completely drops the murder mystery. The ending left me more confused than when I started.

    Every time I finish this game, I get a feeling in me that I cannot really describe. I love this story and I hope that one day Eggnut will get resurrected so we can get another narrative focused adventure game from them. Sequel to Tails Noir/Backbone or not.

    Haha I absolutely adore Tails Noir/Backbone. The prequel is good, but something about the first grabs me really hard. FYI, the Furry Shades games are furry porn Candy Crush :p Endless Bounty is a point and click adventure game of sorts with a time limit (by DyneWulf).

    Had to take a break from my Star Wars project (bc the games are all so bad) and played Killzone Shadow Fall and Tails Noir. Killzone is solid but the levels are mostly industrial abstractia and Tails Noir is beautiful and starts promising but loses steam fast. My kingdom for an above average game!

    Tails Noir, a game I wasn't expecting to get very far in has completely hooked me. Short game but it's packed with content, Dialogue choices hold weight as you develop yourself and your relationships. Not to mention a story that spirals beyond comprehension. It's Furry Disco Elysium and I need more.

    Tried Tails Noir today. It's a dystopic, narrative point-and-click noir detective game where you're a racoon investigating crimes in the sleazy part of town. It really does nail the noir theme, lots of doom jazz too. Animation is top notch, screenshots don't do it justice. #TailsNoir #Furry

    The game Tails Noir/Backbone is inspired by a culture more Eastern European than Switzerland, so has a sort of...Slavic Sardonic-ness and lack of happy ending to it, but it's still along the lines of what I'm thinking of.
