The game genre is puzzle point-and-click adventure that is narrated interactively with the characters and the gameplay cores, which generally include pathfinding, puzzles, and dialogues.

“About a Boy” immerses players in a narrative-driven journey set in a future city devoid of humanity as we know it. Through the eyes of Miro, a boy with the unique ability to perceive people based on their animal temperaments, players embark on a puzzle point-and-click adventure. This game blends a rich, interactive story with challenging puzzles and dialogues, inviting players to unravel the mysteries of a world where every character embodies different facets of society.
