Kitsune Tails, a queer retro platformer, is released on Steam

Kitsune Tails, the platformer styled after beloved classics and steeped in Japanese mythology developed by Kitsune Games and published by MidBoss, bestows the power of the fabled fox spirit to PC via Steam today!

Guide young half-fox/half-human messenger Yuzu (voiced by Kira Buckland, the voice of NieR: Automata’s 2B) through worlds flowing with legendary Japanese folklore.

As the herald of the god Inari, Yuzu must run, jump, and collect powerups in an experience that draws inspiration from the golden age of 8-bit platforming, replicating its feel but with modern quality-of-life features.

Become a snowfox, run on water wearing a shark onesie, and more to master an elemental wheel of options. Leap over hurdles of the heart in an LGBTQ+-themed story and help Yuzu rescue her imprisoned love interest Akko from magical captivity.  

Play minigames uncovered throughout the world map, including a 3D maze adventure built in the same hand-crafted engine as Kitsune Tails.

Expand on the experience by crafting your own levels with the free Tiled Map Editor, and create minigames using a simple but powerful Lua scripting system.

Kitsune Tails launches today on PC via Steam for $19.99 (R$39.99 in Brazil) with English language voiceover and English, Japanese, and Brazilian Portuguese language text, with Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, and Xbox editions coming in Q1 2025.
