Tails: The Backbone Preludes, the post-noir narrative adventure game from Raw Fury and developer Eggnut, is available today on Steam and the Epic Games Store for $14.99. This prequel to the role-playing detective adventure Backbone welcomes first-time and returning players alike back to a dystopian Vancouver, where a new series of stories surrounding four anthropomorphic animals awaits.
The story of Tails: The Backbone Preludes is filled with branching choices focused on a series of vignettes about coming of age, circumstance, and consequence. Guide four diverse characters through formative moments in their lives, all set to the backdrop of a gorgeously pixelated dystopian Vancouver inhabited by anthropomorphic animals.
Key Features:
- A powerful narrative of growth and change: Experience key moments in the lives of the main cast, set them on the path of self-realization or even destruction, and experience the growing pains of a world on the cusp of irreversible change.
- Four stories, united by a common future: Explore the intricate backstories of Backbone alums Howard, Clarissa, and Renee, and meet Eli, the scientist who made a shocking discovery that will change the world.
- Built for replayability: A brand-new branching tree interface allows you to track your choices from each run, which can influence the fates of surrounding characters.
- Play your way: Return to the world of dystopian Vancouver to learn more about your favorite characters, or start at the beginning – you can play Backbone and Tails in either order.
- Gorgeous visuals: Set with a remarkable pixel art style, players can revisit iconic locations such as Gastown, and explore new spaces like high-class homes and cozy college dorm rooms.
- Another banger of a soundtrack: Doom jazz makes a triumphant return with a brand-new original soundtrack by Danshin, perfectly accompanying the themes and characters of each story under a single melodic umbrella.
