Character development in the game receives mixed reviews; 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 a positive aspect, but many reviewers agree that further fleshing out the story and enhancing character interactions would significantly improve the overall experience. Overall, while the character development is praised for its emotional resonance, there is a consensus that it could be more robust and engaging.
“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.”
“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 described as a mix of point-and-click and text-based mechanics, with limited dialogue choices that seem to have little impact on the overall experience. While some players appreciated the story and the original art, many expressed disappointment in the brevity and lack of depth in gameplay, feeling it progressed too quickly for a more immersive experience. Overall, the gameplay is seen as simplistic and not fully utilizing its potential.

“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 art is very well drawn and the accompanying background music is very appropriate to setting the scene and creating great atmosphere.”
