In Their Shoes

A very intimate account of what it's like to try being an adult in the city. Hopes and desillusions, toxic relationships intertwines with happy ones in a subtle mix of lies and restrained honesty. All captured in witty and well-crafted dialogs over an ambiant soundtrack that immerses you in the hearth of the everyday.

Every character you play and talk to has its character and depth. While playing and living those different slices of life, little mechanics are triggered and reveal and hint to underlying implied logics and world views, giving depth and linking the whole experience. Beautifully written, gorgeously illustrated, just a little gem!

The UI is great, and the game is easy to navigate and jump into. Learning about Milan through realistic conversations is pretty fun and enlightening, and I look forward to learning more.

A kaleidoscopic experience showing us fragments of the life of 7 characters, between daily life moments and life-changing decisions. Great writing and visuals, the "Moments" are short but often containing unexpected depth and having much replayability since the conversations can go in many different ways according to your choices, each one making you discover something new about each character. I also loved how you keep discovering many subtle hints about how the protagonists' lives are intersecting and I had fun with the puzzle aspect of the game, where you have to put all the 49 short scenes in chronological order, which requires a bit of deductive work.

Very cool visual style and captivating writing. Recommended!

Excellent, unique narrative game with memorable characters and a slice-of-life focus that is rarely found in this contemporary, grounded setting. Highly recommended!
