How it feels

A leisurely, surreal walking sim where you ponder existential questions through absurd conversations in vibrantly stylized environments.

What players say

Players describe Mini Mecum as a short, buggy game full of creative secrets and funny, self-aware dialogue. The writing balances philosophical musings with nonsense, and a running crab NPC gets a lot of love. Several reviews mention technical issues like no pause menu or softlocks, but most find the charm outweighs the bugs.
