“This game has a very compelling story.”

“The amazing story along with the cutest characters made this game one of my all time favorite visual novels I have ever played.”
“It's supposed to be for adult public and I like adult games, but it's completely censored, it has a not great story, it's short, just two women characters, almost no animations and seems unfinished, ends quite abruptly.”
“However, said story is also bland and unoriginal and likely isn't worth your purchase on its own.”
“It's way too short to properly develop the characters and story, especially since there are two girls.”

“I wonder if the devs were thinking of issuing an 'adult' DLC for this - some of the scenarios were rather suggestive but graphics were limited.”

Character development in the game receives mixed feedback; while some players appreciate the relatable and realistic portrayals of characters and their situations, others feel that certain characters, like Fuyu and Mirari, lack depth and could benefit from more interactions and backstory. The pacing of character development is noted as generally good, but many reviewers suggest that further fleshing out the story and enhancing character designs would significantly improve the overall experience. Overall, the game is praised for its engaging narrative and character arcs, though there is a consensus that additional development could elevate it further.
“While it seemed a bit slow in the beginning, the pacing of the story and the character development was quite nice.”
“I genuinely enjoyed the story and the character development!”
“I really enjoyed it; I thought the character development was amazing. The characters felt like actual people and their situations were relatable. This made the game feel more down to earth than most other games featuring things like wolf girls. It made it feel more realistic that these wolf girls were going through something so relatable as running away from home, falling in love, getting mad at each other, getting frightened, making friends, and the list goes on.”
“Had the story been more well-developed and more interactions between not only the protagonist and the half-wolves, but Mirari and Fuyu and human society, there could've been so much more conflict and character development as a result, as well as more worldbuilding.”
“You are introduced to some characters but only ever see dialogue from them and never see even a simple character design.”
“It would've been much better if there was more character development and actual depth to the story.”

The gameplay is primarily a point-and-click, text-based experience with a choose-your-own-adventure format, but many players feel it lacks depth and meaningful choices, as only a few dialogue decisions are presented. While the game offers a relaxing experience with a short playtime of 4-6 hours, some users express disappointment in the rapid progression and limited impact of character mechanics on the story. Overall, the gameplay is seen as simplistic and not particularly engaging for those seeking a more intricate narrative.
“I came here by accident, but I stayed for the story, the gameplay, the everything.”
“After recently finishing 'Myth' and 'Eden', I found this story a way to relax and unwind with maybe 4-6 hours of gameplay.”
“Once you take Mirari in from the cold, Wolf Tails turns into a standard choose-your-own-adventure visual novel, with point-and-click text-based gameplay, original art, music, and of course, choices.”
“I think there were maybe three or four dialogue decisions you have to make in the entire process, and I'm not convinced my choices made any difference in gameplay.”
“I guess I was just disappointed by the amount of gameplay this contained, and the fact that it just progressed too fast to be enjoyable for someone like me, who enjoys a deeper plot and more scenes.”
“No gameplay :(”

The atmosphere in "Wolf Tails" is highly praised for its immersive quality, enhanced by well-drawn art and fitting background music. Set in a harsh permafrost region, the game effectively conveys a cold winter ambiance that evokes strong emotions, balancing both serious and lighthearted moments throughout the narrative. Overall, players appreciate the combination of setting, art, and music in creating a captivating experience.
“The art is very well drawn and the accompanying background music is very appropriate to setting the scene and creating great atmosphere.”
“Two significantly influential factors during playthrough were atmosphere and setting, which takes place somewhere in the permafrost region, but with conditions worse than in Siberia and Antarctica, which is already great, as typical common locations just cannot provide any strong emotions.”
“It's extremely good at conveying the atmosphere of sombre and silly scenes alike.”

The game boasts high replayability due to its multiple endings and story variations based on the player's choice of protagonist, despite its short length.

Overall, the presence of cute wolfgirls and diverse narrative paths contribute to a compelling replay experience.

“While the game is short in length, the multiple endings, as well as the story variations depending on your choice of a male or female protagonist, very nearly make up for this and offer up quite a bit of replayability.”
“- no option to end game with both girls (normally prefer 1x1 relationships, but I think a secret harem option would have offered additional replay value.”
“Replay value is pretty high as well.”
