What the reveal supports
A guide-shaped game, not yet a giant database.
The published scenes point toward search-worthy puzzles, quests, and locations. The public record does not yet give enough names or solutions for dozens of honest detail pages.
Helpful detours
Animal & town quests
The site promises quests, townsfolk, and helping animals along the route.
Tone shift
Night Watch
Fortress imagery suggests danger and observation without establishing a full combat system.
What is The Missing Tail?
The Missing Tail is an upcoming cozy co-op adventure developed and published by Estoty. Two players take the roles of a royal palace cat and a clever stray whose very different lives become one journey home.
Official descriptions name a medieval courtyard and castle, split-screen third-person play, co-op puzzles, platforming, quests, townsfolk, animal side stories, secrets, rooftops, and interactive cat chaos. Steam lists Online Co-op and Remote Play Together, while the official FAQ says a single copy is enough on Steam, PlayStation, and Xbox.
The release date, price, cross-play, exact console generations, chapter list, achievement set, and final playtest schedule have not been announced. Those unknowns are kept out of the site's factual answers until the public game pages change.
