Miniatures defines itself as an ā€œarthouse experienceā€ which is maybe why Iā€™m having so much trouble explaining it. You can watch the release date trailer. It presents an unsettling but serene tone as things happen. Here, Iā€™ll tell you what the press release says:

ā€œExplore, interact, and watch the world shift. In this peculiar, artist-led experience, reconnect with the wonder, magic, and loneliness of childhood through four handcrafted, visually captivating stories based on the strange objects found in an old wooden box. Open the box and open your mind – who knows what curious things youā€™ll discover in there?ā€

Discover where? In the box or my mind? Because Iā€™ve seen whatā€™s in my mind, and itā€™s no vacation home. The box seems to contain puzzles. The game part of Miniatures has you ā€œbuild unusual objects, inspect curious items, and untangle the threads of lost memories.ā€

While itā€™s not necessary, the press release also mentions that playing on a touchscreen (Switch, Steam Deck, iOS) adds ā€œan additional tactile dimension.ā€ Touch screen and I have never been on good terms, but have at it. The game itself looks interesting, though. I like loneliness, and my childhood was a safely mundane experience that, in retrospect, thatā€™s way preferable to adulthood.

Miniatures launches on Switch, PC, and iOS November 14th.
