Nine Tales is a in-development web-based game about kitsune and yokai that is expected to open for Alpha testing this year.

Kitsune are foxes with supernatural abilities. These foxes are gifted with the ability to shapeshift and use magic, among other things. Players will be able to play as their kitsune characters and explore the game world, which takes place in a classical Japanese setting. Nine Tales will give players a continuously growing, expansive world to explore with an interesting backstory, however there is no one central story to follow. The game is defined by the goals of its players, so the focus will be forever shifting and evolving as the players reach and define their goals.

Collect and breed kitsune, adventure, quest, battle roaming yokai (monsters) and earn your tails!
