In Their Shoes: A New Narrative Game from Indie Studio We Are Muesli

We Are Muesli, the innovative indie studio based in Milan, Italy, has announced their latest project, In Their Shoes, a narrative game set for release in 2026 on both mobile and PC platforms. This exciting new title has already garnered attention, earning a nomination for the prestigious 'A MAZE. 2025' awards in Berlin, known for celebrating independent and arthouse games.

In Their Shoes: A Deep Dive into Everyday Lives

In Their Shoes immerses players in the vibrant and complex world of present-day Milan. The game invites you to step into the shoes of seven distinct characters, each with their own unique story. Through 49 short interactive stories, known as Moments, you'll experience the everyday lives, hesitations, routines, and split-second decisions of these characters.

Each Moment in In Their Shoes offers a unique perspective. Some stories unfold slowly, allowing you to linger in the thoughts and emotions of the characters, while others demand quick reactions, mimicking the fast-paced nature of real life. The narrative of In Their Shoes is intentionally unstructured, reflecting the messiness of life itself. As you navigate through these stories, you'll uncover 26 hidden biographical details for each character, offering a rich, slice-of-life experience.

While the Play Store page for In Their Shoes is not yet available, you can explore more about the game on its Steam page. For a sneak peek, check out the announcement trailer below:
