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.What's inside?

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.

Poetry as a game. A very beautiful and worthwhile time.1 found this helpful
peak, interactive, beautiful graphics
interesting visual story telling
A very short and sweet point and click game! I adored the art style and unique mechanics in each story.
An extremely short little game, but the music and atmosphere is amazing, the art is beautiful and perhaps a little unsettling at times.
