When it comes to narrative releases on mobile, standing out can be a challenge. However, if you're the Italian developer We Are Muesli, capturing players' attention is a breeze with their self-described 'mumblecore' narrative release, In Their Shoes, set to launch on mobile in 2026!
If the term 'mumblecore' left you puzzled, fear not. The appeal becomes clear when you delve into the game's essence. Set in the vibrant city of Milan, In Their Shoes features over 49 short, self-contained stories known as 'Moments' that delve into the quiet inner lives of everyday individuals.
These narratives span from heartfelt relationship dramas to moments of quiet introspection that shape the lives of these characters. As you piece these moments together, the game unfolds like a fragmented diary, allowing you to uncover 26 hidden biographical details and experiences. You'll see how the iconic city of Milan intricately weaves its way into their stories, adding depth and context to their lives.
Yes, In Their Shoes is quite different from the typical flashy match-three games and shooters we often see, showcasing the versatility of mobile gaming. Although you'll need to wait until 2026 for its release, the anticipation is building.
The indie gaming community has already taken notice, with In Their Shoes securing nominations for the prestigious A MAZE. 2025 independent awards show in Berlin. The question remains whether its very regional subject matter will resonate with an international audience, which could be the key to its success.
