"On Your Tail" named finalist at Cartoons On The Bay!
8 mag 2025On Your Tail, the adventure video game developed by Memorable Games and published by Humble Games, has been recognized as a finalist for the Pulcinella Awards 2025 at Cartoons On The Bay festival, in the Interactive Animation category.
As the animation partner for this project, we shaped the lively atmosphere of Borgo Marina, a picturesque coastal town in Italy where players step into the shoes of Diana Caproni, a writer drawn into intriguing local mysteries.
Through meticulously crafted animations, carefully designed characters and immersive storytelling, On Your Tail offers an engaging blend of narrative mystery and life simulation. Since its Windows release in December 2024, followed by its Nintendo Switch debut in March 2025, the game has been widely praised for its gorgeous setting and compelling story.
We're honored to see our animation and CG work celebrated at such a prestigious festival. A huge thank you to Memorable Games and everyone involved in this project!
