About This Game

Miniatures: An Interactive Story Collection

Step into four hand-drawn memories from childhood and explore the strangeness and unease hiding beneath familiar moments. Some stories are whimsical, others mysterious, and each is supported by its own unique art style and soundscape. 

Pick an object and play the personal story behind it. 

Short Playtime: 30-40 minutes

What's Inside?

In an old wooden box are four different objects that each unlock a story. Play them in any order, with pauses in between, or in a single sitting:

🪛 Familiar 

Assemble a curious cabinet together with your family. It is not as easy, as it seems.

🦎 The Paludarium 

Take care of your pet lizard while nature slowly creeps in. 

🦋 The House of the Moon 

Search for the moon in a dark seascape.

🐚 The Last Sand Castle

Help the music-loving inhabitants of a sand castle.


The Experience

Miniatures is an atmospheric and slightly unsettling experience for players who enjoy narrative experimentation, stylised visuals and subtle, but poignant storytelling. It features:

  • Hand-drawn and award-winning art with a picture book aesthetic

  • Short and impactful stories that are emotional and open to interpretation. 

  • Atmospheric and ambient soundscapes

  • Simple and easy interactions: point, click and explore.

Follow the moon, feed the lizard, and discover surreal childhood memories, where the familiar turns mysterious and strange.
