Explore a mysterious seascape in The House of the Moon, build odd furniture in Familiar, feed a lizard in The Paludarium, and play with sand in The Last Sand Castle. Inspired by graphic novels and contemporary adventure games, each story has been handcrafted with its own distinct gameplay and art style, and can be played on Switch, Steam Deck, and iOS with intuitive touch controls. Take care and welcome to the world of Miniatures.
