"We Are Muesli Unveils New Mobile Narrative Game: In Their Shoes"

Indie studio We Are Muesli has exciting news for narrative game enthusiasts with their upcoming release, In Their Shoes, set to launch in 2026 on both mobile and PC. This game has already made waves by earning a nomination for the 'A MAZE. 2025' awards in Berlin, a testament to its potential in the indie and arthouse gaming scene.

In Their Shoes Is a Narrative Game that’s More About Listening

Set in the vibrant, yet contradictory city of present-day Milan, In Their Shoes invites players to step into the lives of seven unique characters. The game comprises 49 short interactive stories, each termed a "Moment," providing an intimate glimpse into a day in the life of these characters.

Each Moment immerses you in the character's hesitations, routines, and the split-second decisions that define their lives. Some stories unfold leisurely, allowing you to dwell on the character's inner thoughts, while others demand quick responses, reflecting the urgency of certain real-life situations.

Unlike typical narrative games, In Their Shoes offers a narrative that's intentionally untidy. As you navigate through the fragmented stories, you'll uncover 26 hidden biographical details for each character, creating a rich, slice-of-life experience.

While the Play Store page for the game is not yet available, you can explore more on the Steam page. Get a sneak peek of what's in store by watching the announcement trailer right here.
