Smaller

About

In Smaller you control George a tiny human trapped in a perilous world where everyday objects become towering obstacles. Navigate large environments by manipulating your surroundings using physics based puzzles and exploration. The single player campaign challenges you to grow through trial and error while avoiding hazards that shift in scale as you progress. The game’s hand drawn art style gives it a distinct charm but its real strength lies in spatial reasoning challenges that test your ability to think small. Released in 2019 it built a niche following for its creative use of scale mechanics though its difficulty curve has divided players. Short but dense with environmental storytelling it’s a title that lingers more for its atmosphere than its length.
