About The Tail

A noir adventure in the rain. Follow one man through a crowded 1950s city, close enough not to lose him and far enough not to be seen.

How to play

You are a private detective paid to follow a man in a red scarf. Stay 10 to 15 metres behind him. Get too close when he looks and you are made, fall more than 35 metres back and you lose him. Read his body: he slows and tilts his head before he looks back, checks shop glass and doubles back. Take cover in doorways, at news stands, in shop windows, in groups or by tying a shoe. He remembers tricks you repeat. Close the case with a photo to earn fees for coats and hats.
