When it comes to narrative releases on mobile, standing out can be a challenge. However, Italian developer We Are Muesli is set to captivate players with their upcoming 'mumblecore' narrative game, In Their Shoes, scheduled for release on mobile in 2026.
If the term 'mumblecore' leaves you puzzled, it's easier to grasp its allure by delving into the game's details. Set in contemporary Milan, In Their Shoes features over 49 short, self-contained stories known as 'Moments'. These stories delve into the quiet inner lives of ordinary individuals, ranging from heartfelt relationship dramas to moments of silent introspection that shape their existence.
These narratives unfold like a fragmented diary, allowing players to piece together the moments and uncover 26 hidden biographical details and experiences. The game beautifully integrates the iconic city of Milan into its storytelling, enriching the narrative tapestry.
In Their Shoes may be a departure from the typical mobile gaming fare of flashy match-three games and shooters, but it showcases the versatility of the mobile platform. While fans will need to wait until 2026 for its release, the game has already garnered attention, securing nominations for the prestigious A MAZE. 2025 independent awards in Berlin. This recognition from the indie gaming community underscores the game's potential impact.
The question remains whether the game's very regional subject matter will resonate with an international audience, which could be pivotal to its success.
