"We Are Muesli Unveils New Mobile Narrative Game: In Their Shoes"

Exciting news from the indie game scene—*We Are Muesli*, the creative studio based in Milan, Italy, has officially announced their upcoming narrative-driven title *In Their Shoes*. Set for release in 2026 across both mobile and PC platforms, this unique storytelling experience has already captured attention by earning a nomination at the prestigious independent and arthouse games festival A MAZE. 2025 in Berlin.

In Their Shoes: A Narrative Game Centered Around Listening

*In Their Shoes* is set in modern-day Milan—a city rich with contrasts—and invites players to step into the lives of seven distinct characters. The gameplay unfolds through 49 short interactive episodes known as "Moments," each offering a window into a character's daily life. These Moments range from deeply introspective experiences where you're immersed in someone’s inner thoughts, to fast-paced situations that demand quick decisions, mirroring the unpredictability of real-life scenarios.

Unlike conventional narrative games, the story structure in *In Their Shoes* feels organic and fragmented. As players explore these interconnected stories, they’ll uncover 26 hidden biographical details per character, slowly revealing the emotional layers behind each individual. The result is a genuine slice-of-life journey that encourages empathy, reflection, and a deeper understanding of everyday human experiences.

While the game doesn’t yet have a Play Store listing, its Steam page is already live. For those eager to get a visual sense of what to expect, here’s a look at the official announcement trailer:
