Indie studio We Are Muesli has exciting news for narrative game enthusiasts with the announcement of their upcoming game, *In Their Shoes*. Set for release in 2026 on both mobile and PC platforms, this game has already made waves by earning a nomination for the prestigious 'A MAZE. 2025' awards in Berlin, recognizing excellence in independent and arthouse games.

In Their Shoes: A Narrative Game Focused on Listening

Set in the bustling, contradictory city of Milan, *In Their Shoes* invites players to step into the lives of seven distinct characters. The game unfolds through 49 short interactive stories, each termed a "Moment," offering a window into the daily experiences of these characters.

These Moments are designed to immerse you in the characters' hesitations, daily routines, and the split-second decisions they face. Some of these stories unfold slowly, allowing you to dwell in the characters' thoughts, while others demand quick reactions, reflecting the intensity of real-life situations.

Unlike typical narrative games, *In Their Shoes* presents a narrative that's intentionally untidy. As players navigate through these scattered stories, they'll uncover 26 hidden biographical details for each character, painting a vivid slice-of-life portrait.

While the Play Store page is yet to go live, you can already explore the game on its Steam page. Here's a sneak peek at what you can expect:
