On Your Tail

The characters are another highlight—each one is well-written and full of unique charm, making interactions a joy.

The gameplay is cool, it's one of the good things of this game, there's so much to do, so many people to talk to and a few to hang out with, with so many different minigames and things to do.

Even though I'm not usually into mystery adventure games nor have a played a lot of the games it was inspired by such as the Shenmue & Professor Layton series, I was drawn in by it's distinct anthropomorphic animal characters and art style.

Charmling soundtrack, not to a level I would keep playing untill eternity like some songs from Dust: An Elysian Tail or Earth Worm Jim 1 + 2, but they furfilled their purpose and never really bored while playing the game.

On the Steam Deck, the game runs surprisingly well once assets are properly loaded, but optimization feels inconsistent.

I think I will recommend this game on the strength of its character design, sense of place, and the rare high points of gameplay.
