Small Things

From the introduction: In Small Things you play a noble guardian who protects your House and Family from whatever may come along. Problem is, you’re only little… The default setting is Britain, somewhere between 1930 and the mid- 1950s (but without the inconvenience of a World War and rationing), but you can also set it in your country during the same mythical time period. Small Things takes place in a world of faded colours, good manners, few labour-saving gadgets and tea made in big brown teapots and left on the hearth to warm under a stripy tea cosy. If games had a smell, this one’s would be like hot buttered toast, newly baked bread and cakes, freshly cut grass and clean laundry. It might look a bit like a Raymond Briggs graphic novel (but much, much cheerier), or Wallace and Gromit without the modern conveniences.
