About This Game

A boy who sees what people really are.

To Miro, people wear the faces of animals. Their appearances reveal something about the nature beneath—and the dark future city ahead is full of strangers to understand.

About a Boy is a story-driven point-and-click adventure about perception, identity, and human connection. Explore its illustrated world, unravel puzzles, and follow Miro into a society where humanity is no longer easy to recognize.

EVERY ROOM INVITES A CLOSER LOOK

Step into richly detailed interiors, from a lamplit bookshop to strange rooms filled with unfamiliar mechanisms. Examine your surroundings and find the path forward, one discovery at a time.

LET CURIOSITY LEAD YOU

Look beyond the scenery. Work through visual puzzles and curious contraptions as you explore. Observation, experimentation, and conversations are at the heart of Miro’s journey.

ANIMAL FACES. HUMAN STORIES.

Meet inhabitants whose animal forms reflect different sides of society. Through Miro’s eyes, each encounter adds another perspective to a story about destiny and the connections that make us human.
