Step into the enchanting realm of Moomins for the very first time on Xbox and Windows with "Snufkin: Melody of Moominvalley"! This delightful musical adventure caters to players of all ages and brings a captivating story centered on Snufkin as he works to restore the valley and assist its quirky residents.

The Moomins are whimsical and unique characters brought to life by the beloved Finnish illustrator and author Tove Jansson back in 1945. As one of Finland’s most celebrated artists, Jansson introduced the world to the Moomins through a collection of books and a novel, which later gained international fame via comic strips. Titles like “Finn Family Moomintroll” and “Comet in Moominland” may ring a bell for some. Sophia Jansson, Tove’s niece, once noted that "the Moomin stories highlight what matters most to people everywhere—love, tolerance, respect, and belonging. These themes resonate universally, beyond borders, gender, race, religion, or sexuality."
"Melody of Moominvalley" is a charming indie game that is deeply rooted in Nordic tradition. It brings an all-new narrative inspired by Tove Jansson’s original works, capturing the evocative and nostalgic atmosphere she’s renowned for. The game is heavily influenced by Tove’s enchanting watercolor creations, adapting them to a vibrant video game format. This approach creates a visually stunning world for players to explore, blending classic watercolors with a modern twist suitable for expansive content.
