Miniatures is an award-winning serene anthology that’s out in November

Tick Tock Interactive has announced that , Miniatures, is 𓃲releasing on November 14th. It’s coming to Switch, PC, and Mobi🤪le (iOS).

Miniatures defines itself as an “arthouse experience” which is maybe why I’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, I’ll tell you what the press releasꦑe says:

“Explore, 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 you’ll discover in there?”

Discover where? In the box or my mind? Because I’ve seen what’s in my mind, and it’s no vacation home. The box seems to contain puzzles. The game part of Miniatures has you “build un🎃usual objects, inspect curi♛ous items, and untangle the threads of lost memories.”

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

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