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

Indie studio We Are Muesli has unveiled their latest project, a narrative-driven game titled In Their Shoes, slated for release in 2026 across mobile and PC platforms. The announcement has already garnered significant attention, earning the game a nomination for the 'A MAZE. 2025' awards in Berlin, a prestigious event celebrating independent and arthouse games.

In Their Shoes: A Narrative Game Focused on Listening

Set in the vibrant and contradictory city of Milan, In Their Shoes invites players to delve into the lives of seven unique characters. The game presents 49 short interactive stories, known as Moments, offering intimate glimpses into the daily lives and internal worlds of these characters.

Each Moment immerses players in the characters' hesitations, routines, and the split-second decisions they face. Some stories unfold leisurely, allowing players to sit with a character's thoughts and emotions. Others demand quick reactions, reflecting the urgency of real-life situations.

Unlike traditional narrative games, In Their Shoes offers a non-linear and untidy narrative structure. As players navigate through the scattered stories, they can uncover 26 hidden biographical details for each character, providing a deep, slice-of-life experience.

While the Play Store page for the game is yet to be launched, the Steam page is already live. For a sneak peek into the world of In Their Shoes, check out the announcement trailer below.
