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

Indie studio We Are Muesli has exciting news for gamers: they're set to launch a new narrative game titled In Their Shoes in 2026. This eagerly awaited title will be available on both mobile and PC platforms. The buzz around the game is already strong, as evidenced by its nomination for the 'A MAZE. 2025' awards in Berlin, celebrating independent and arthouse games.

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

Set in the vibrant and contradictory city of Milan, In Their Shoes offers players an immersive journey into the lives of seven distinct characters. The game unfolds through 49 short, interactive stories, known as Moments, each providing a unique snapshot of a character's day-to-day experiences.

These Moments are designed to engage players with the characters' inner worlds, capturing their hesitations, daily routines, and the split-second decisions they face. Some stories unfold at a leisurely pace, allowing players to delve deep into the characters' thoughts, while others demand quick reactions, mirroring the urgency of real-life scenarios.

Unlike traditional narrative games, In Their Shoes presents a deliberately untidy narrative. As players navigate through these fragmented stories, they'll uncover 26 hidden biographical details for each character, crafting a rich, slice-of-life experience.

While the Play Store page for In Their Shoes is yet to go live, the game's Steam page is already up and running. For a sneak peek, check out the announcement trailer below:
