Mini Mini Golf Golf is an experiential adventure about time travel and climate collapse, told through miniature golf.

Mini Mini Golf Golf is not a particularly good golf game. The controls feel a bit off, the physics are unpredictable at times, and there aren’t many holes to jump through. This might put some people off, which is a shame, because it’s just the tip of a completely weird iceberg. In reality, it’s an experimental narrative adventure about climate collapse, human memory, time travel, and goofy FMV video game theory podcasts. Just… Above all told through miniature golf.

Released a few days ago and the first title from Berlin-based arthouse game collective Three More Years, it’s a high-concept sci-fi story set in 2063. Operating from of a retro-futuristic space station orbiting above the (recently-formed) Great Baltic Ocean, you try to piece together the story of what happened to our poor and abused planet while communicating with a sort of extra-dimensional entity that talks to you through problems in a mini-golf game.
