As a game, it’s pitched as something like a point ‘n’ click adventure, although Zoink developers prefer to call it a “poke ‘n’ grab”. Sound design is a big part of this: stand at full, giant height and the hubbub of the world washes over you, but lean in close to the tiny denizens of these towns and you’ll be able discern individual conversations, even foot (or hoof) steps. It’s entrancing just to watch the world work around you, and you’ll quickly become a sort of G-rated voyeur, able to peek into the windows of houses to see what their inhabitants are up to, or peer around corners to see if there’s anything tucked away for you to find. Each scene is a densely packed set of dollhouse-sized elements, filled with anthropomorphised animals going about their business. Zoink’s pulled the canted angles and hand-drawn style from its previous games, but leant them a newly pastel-hued, cutesy edge. You’re the eponymous phantom, towering above a series of quiet pastoral scenes.

Play It’s a simple but intoxicating premise.
