Publisher Raw Fury and developer Eggnut have announced a February 2 release date for Tails: The Backbone Preludes, a sequel to 2021 post-noir adventure game Backbone. Set in a fictionalized, dystopian version of Vancouver and taking place years before the events of the original game, Tails will have players explore a branching narrative and the interconnected stories of four anthropomorphic animals – Howard, Clarissa, Renee and Eli –, each with their own motivations and life paths. The game is set to feature locations both new and familiar, as well as new puzzles and gameplay mechanics, interactions and, of course, a variety of choices that all come with consequences. Here’s a trailer:
