New Tail is a Ren'Py adult visual novel by Kaind, presented with animated 3DCG visuals and a sandbox structure. You play the protagonist, who forges documents and prepares equipment to get someone out of a lab, while asking what could go wrong. The story also explores monster girls, harem dynamics, and female domination.
Development is ongoing, and the current build is v0.2.6, released March 22, 2026. It runs on Windows, Linux, and Mac, with English and Russian support and no censorship. The latest update begins a major story event, adds a Beatrix extra mini scene, and reworks an Estelisa adult scene. After starting that event, players cannot return to earlier locations until future updates, so a separate save is recommended.
Developer's description
Here's the plan. I forged the documents and prepared the equipment.
I'm gonna get you out of this lab. What could possibly go wrong?
v0.2.6
The beginning of a major story event
Beatrix EXTRA mini scene
Reworked Estelisa's NSFW scene
After starting the new story event,
you will
not be able to return to previous locations
until the next updates are released.
I recommend making a separate save before starting the event, so you can return to it if needed.
v0.2.5.1
Two new events: Riselle and Bam Ui + Akane
One additional NSFW scene with Beatrix (she won the sponsor vote)
Several dialogues have been re-directed
Fixed broken images (sometimes black screens would appear).
Fixed a bug where part of the interface could remain on the screen after closing the character book.
v0.2.4-1
Reworked English translation.
Fixed a bug where reaching 20 relationship points with the Mayor didn’t show the message that you need to complete the quest first.
v0.2.4
Two new events:
Riselle and Mayor.
Riselle:
You can now spend time with her.
The piano dialogue has been re-directed.
Updated design and re-shot scenes.
Mayor:
Her ears have been changed. (They used to react incorrectly to lighting; I couldn’t fix it with shaders and textures, but now they’re fully animated!)
All scenes with Mayor were re-shot because of the ear changes.
New interface:
The character journal, quest log, and gallery have been completely redesigned.
On old saves, the gallery will unlock after transferring the “persistent” file (included in the release).
Code input window:
Moved from the main menu to the bed.
Fixed an issue where pressing
Enter
after entering a code started a “New Game” (since the input window used to be in the menu).

Sooo much needless clicking (ie: something like 15 clicks to get to townhall, clean for a lazy employee, then another 15ish to get back and sleep)...over and over and over.. Very simplistic conversations and since characters only have a couple…
