Shindig

Shindig is a short, point-and-click narrative adventure in which you help a neighbourhood’s quirky characters with their troubles, gather what’s needed for a party and bring the community together. The linear story takes a few hours to play, about the length of a feature film, and has one ending.

The neighbourhood

You meet a diverse cast of characters and hear about their worries. The story mixes surreal humour, a couple of silly songs and conversations about deeper emotional topics. Some of the serious conversations happen in optional hangouts, which you can skip. The game has no swearing or scares, though it uses some challenging vocabulary.

Explore and solve

The adventure takes place in a hand-drawn, picturebook setting, with cozy, low-stakes gameplay and light puzzles. An original soundtrack accompanies the story, which is fully voiced in English. The story offers no choices that affect its direction.

Make your character

You can choose from a range of skin tones and hairstyles for the protagonist, and select a masculine-leaning or feminine-leaning voice.

Accessibility settings

Separate volume controls are available for sound effects, voice and music. A closed-captions overlay can call out many nonverbal sounds.
