Overview

About this game

Miniatures: An art house game collection

Play four hand-drawn memories from childhood and explore the strangeness and unease hiding beneath familiar moments. Some stories are mysterious, others whimsical, and all are a bit experimental. Each story is supported by its own unique art style and soundscape. 

A short, open-to-interpretation experience with a total playtime of about 30–40 minutes.

What's inside?

Open up an old wooden box and discover four different objects: a screwdriver, a lizard, a seashell and a moth. Each one has its own story to tell:

🪛 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.
