‘Vignettes’ Tells Stories as You Spin Colorful Objects

Vignettes gives players a series of objects to explore, rotating and turning them until they shift in delightful ways.

A telephone shifts into a pot, which becomes a potted plant as you twist and twirl it around as you play Vignettes. Each colorful thing you handle can be whirled around to turn it into something bright and wondrous, making you feel like you;re exploring something as you turn it over in your hands.

As you spin through these varied things, stories are told without words. You will rescue cats, re-enact the moon landing, awaken snake spirits, and move through several different tales as you whirl each object around.

Vignettes is a delightful thing for the curious, seeming to hide endless worlds on the other side of seemingly-mundane objects (well, very pretty, colorful versions of them). It delivers a lovely message of adventure and meaning in everyday things, and how the simplest moments and objects in our lives can hold secrets and stories within their many sides.

Vignettes is available now on Itch.io, Steam, iOS, and Android.
