"SQUEAK": Meet Moominvalley's Small Inhabitants🐿️🐇🪱🐦
“When [Snufkin] reached out, someone gave a sudden shout and flashed past him and off among the firs, still crying and squeaking all the way. ‘Oh yes,’ Snufkin said. ‘Creeps and woodies everywhere. Funny how nervous they always seem to be. The smaller the jumpier.’” - The Spring Tune, Tales from Moominvalley
A rustle in the bush. A curious hole on the mountainside. A nest blocking a pathway.
Snufkin: Melody of Moominvalley is inhabited by many curious creatures - some shy, some sweet, and some, surprisingly sassy like a certain spider. Everyone, big and small, are affected by the nonsense imposed by the Park Keeper and the patrolling police — with unnatural and unpleasant parks forced upon the environment and ruining homes.
Moominvalley’s small inhabitants can provide inspiration to Snufkin, building up his musical affinity, and some of them can assist with Snufkin’s goals of plucking signs and pushing over statues in manicured gardens. Everywhere you travel to in Moominvalley, from the beaches to The Lonely Mountains, there are helpful critters ready to say “chirp”!
[h3]🎶🎶Make Friends with Melodies… 🎶🎶[/h3]
Snufkin can befriend many small inhabitants with a song or two on his harmonica. Earning the help of creatures is important to traversing Moominvalley. Is a ledge too high to jump over and are there suspiciously creep-sized outlines engraved on the ledge? Then there may be nearby Creeps Snufkin can charm with his harmonica to help boost him up.
And sometimes if a ledge is extra tall… you’ll need extra Creeps. You’ll need to search for each of them, but they’ll be happy enough to help you with ledges. Creeps aren’t the only ones you can ask for help as Snufkin.
Wriggly worms can aid in hopping across gaps and Sea Creatures will agree to ferry you across lakes
[h3]🎶🎶…But You’ll Need Inspiration!🎶🎶[/h3]
But in order to befriend critters in the game, Snufkin needs certain levels of inspiration. Interacting with Moominvalley’s wildlife is one way to increase Snufkin’s inspiration levels - so don’t be shy about getting to know the creatures. You are playing as the great wanderer after all. Nature and its inhabitants will be important friends in helping dismantle offensive parks and restoring Moominvalley to its former natural and harmonious state. For example, birds can help you distract police officers either by squawking or crashing into them, as directed by the harmonica’s tunes.
[h3]🕷️🕷️“Bullies. I was here first.” - Spider🕷️🕷️[/h3]
Aside from getting rid of parks together, Snufkin will also meet other unique creatures - like the dramatic spider. Although seemingly very good at holding grudges once slighted, the spider will forgive you under specific circumstances. The way to a spider’s heart is through… ?
You’ll need to play our game, Snufkin: Melody of Moominvalley, to find out!
