What is Tails Noir Preludes?

Set years before Tails Noir, this single-player, 2D visual novel takes place in a dystopian Vancouver inhabited by anthropomorphic animals. You read and choose dialogue across short interactive vignettes as the cast navigates college, family pressures, and questions about personal agency and scientific ethics. A branching tree records your decisions.

For you if...

−you prefer one continuous storyline over separate character vignettes

What players say

93% of 298 reviews are positive

Players praise the character writing, pixel art, and music. Some say it feels like supplemental material for Tails Noir rather than a standalone story, and leaves too many questions unresolved.
