Miniatures is a short game that feels like a collection of short stories—four to be precise. One is dark, one cute, one like a picture book, and one a point-and-click adventure. The common theme is that all seem more dreamlike than reality-based.
The sound design in the game resonates with the theme of the story. The sound effects echo in silence while there is fantastical music in some. The game's art is meticulous and probably its biggest selling point. All have a cartoonish washed-out look to them but their art style is unique only to the individual story.
The actual stories are highly esoteric and leave the player with the most important questions unanswered. If the game manages to get a moderate player base, I'm sure that there will be a good number of theories circulating on Reddit about what they witnessed. Even if you aren't able to fill in the blanks, the whole experience is enough to make it all seem worthwhile which shows that the game is fun even without understanding.
Due to its sincere design and development and the variety that the game offers in a small package, you will feel amazement and curiosity with every single mouse click. While the game references itself to be a collection of miniatures, ironically it is more than a game. It is a game in the form of a storybook that you play.
