If you’re looking for an iPhone (or iPad) experience, why not try Miniatures? Far from the usual action games, this anthology of four stories from BAFTA-nominated developer Other Tales is presented as an interactive storybook in which you must solve puzzles to progress.
Discover Miniatures: Tales of Summer
By opening an ancient wooden box, you immerse yourself in four distinct worlds, each with enchanting narratives and dynamic (handmade) settings, all seen through the prism of a child’s innocent imagination.
Inside an old wooden box hide four strange objects: a toy in the shape of a lizard, a dried moth, a screwdriver and a shell. Everyone has a very curious story to tell…
Delve into four hand-drawn memories and uncover the mysteries that lie beneath a seemingly calm surface. Savor one story after another or string them together in this single-player adventure game about the stories we tell ourselves and how they shape the world.
Here are the four adventures available:
- Familiar : experience the challenges of a family faced with assembling a wardrobe.
- The paludarium : immerse yourself in a world where a young boy, alone at home, witnesses the invasion of nature.
- The last sandcastle : interact with music lovers living in a sandcastle.
- The Moon House : accompany Alma on a journey in search of her missing mother in the heart of a mysterious coastal landscape.
Those who have already tested Miniatures have nothing but praise for it. Although it is a brief experience, lasting about an hour, its execution hits the mark.
Obviously, all this is subjective, some will find Miniatures too calm, too flat. Don’t expect an intense game like Fortnite, COD or Baldur’s Gate, no, it has nothing to do. On the other hand, it is a game that can be suitable for all ages, for example an opportunity to share a moment with your child. It joins games like Numbala or Dordogne.
Fans of original games, even out of the ordinary, can go for it. For €3, you treat yourself to a magical moment. Available on Switch, Steam and App Store, not yet on Android.
