About
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.
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.

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.

Minatures is a collection of four short "games" (point-and-click stories) that pull at some nostalgia strings in a way that's difficult to articulate. The stories all feature beautiful artwork and are of varying degrees of surrealness, but each is unique and interesting in its own way. I'm marking this worthwhile primarily due to the length (it says I finished it in 0.6 hours) and the fact that they're not really games. I'm personally glad I 'played' these games, but I also enjoy surreal storytelling and the occasional casual game. If you're not into that, then Miniatures likely won't change your mind.

非常非常短的小品。 但是畫風跟敘事四則都有做出差異,我很喜歡,基本上不用太多文本就能引導玩家探索,有一則光是其中不斷跳動的線條就覺得情緒張力很夠。 很喜歡這種說故事的方式跟表現手法 另外steam deck 遊玩起來直接用手戳滑螢幕,反而比滑鼠更有趣
:)
Ta bien bonito, recomiendo
Like playing a Dave McKean book. Strange and wondrous imagery that leaves you with an overwhelming sadness in the end. Art and poetry can be gamified, it looks like this.
游戏流程比较短,一小时以内,更像是能互动的动画短片这样,鼠标点点点就行,不过整体的氛围塑造不错,感兴趣可以打折的时候入
interesting visual story telling
A very short and sweet point and click game! I adored the art style and unique mechanics in each story.
Ce jeu était une expérience très intéressante. Les visuels sont très jolis et parfois un peu abstraits, les musiques correspondaient bien avec les moments du jeu. Les mécaniques de mini-jeux sont variées et vraiment différentes les unes des autres, ce qui évite l'impression de répétition. La meilleure partie pour moi, c'est le message que j'ai interprété avec le jeu. Les objets que l'on collectionne sont parfois emplis de souvenirs et renvoient à des moments joyeux, ou tristes en rétrospective. Ce jeu explore à travers des mini-jeux et visuels abstraits une histoire de vie, et particulièrement de famille que l'on peut déduire petit à petit. C'est un jeu très court (j'ai joué 44 min), mais je recommande l'expérience si vous aimez les jeux de puzzle simples et de narration abstraite.
