Muesli Unveils New Mobile Narrative Game: In Their Shoes

Indie studio We Are Muesli has announced their upcoming narrative game, In Their Shoes, set for release in 2026 on both mobile and PC platforms. The game has already garnered attention, earning a nomination for the 'A MAZE. 2025' awards in Berlin, which celebrates independent and arthouse games.

In Their Shoes: A Narrative Game that’s More About Listening

Set in the vibrant and contradictory city of Milan, In Their Shoes invites players to step into the lives of seven diverse characters. The game features 49 short interactive stories, each termed a "Moment," providing intimate glimpses into the daily lives of its characters.

Each Moment in In Their Shoes offers an immersive experience of the characters' hesitations, routines, and the split-second decisions they face. Some stories unfold at a leisurely pace, allowing players to linger in the characters' thoughts, while others demand quick responses, simulating the urgency of real-life scenarios.

Unlike typical narrative games, In Their Shoes embraces a less structured narrative. As players navigate these fragmented stories, they'll uncover 26 hidden biographical details for each character, delivering a true slice-of-life experience.

While the Play Store page is yet to be launched, the game's Steam page is now live. For a sneak peek into the world of In Their Shoes, check out the announcement trailer below:
