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

Indie studio We Are Muesli has announced an intriguing new narrative game titled In Their Shoes, set for release in 2026 across both mobile and PC platforms. This game has already garnered attention, securing a nomination for the independent and arthouse games awards 'A MAZE. 2025' in Berlin.

In Their Shoes: A Narrative Game that Emphasizes Listening

In Their Shoes is set in the vibrant yet contradictory city of Milan. The game invites players to delve into the lives of seven distinct characters through 49 interactive short stories, each referred to as a Moment. These Moments provide an intimate look into the daily lives of the characters, capturing their hesitations, routines, and the split-second decisions that shape their day.

The narrative structure of In Their Shoes is uniquely untidy, setting it apart from traditional narrative games. As players navigate through these scattered stories, they'll uncover 26 hidden biographical details for each character, offering a rich, slice-of-life experience. Some Moments unfold slowly, allowing players to immerse themselves in the characters' thoughts, while others require quick reactions, reflecting the urgency of real-life situations.

Although the Play Store page for In Their Shoes is not yet available, you can explore the game's Steam page. For a sneak peek, check out the announcement trailer below.
