Snufkin: Melody Of Moominvalley review: a simple pleasure


I didn't really know anything about Moomins going into adventure game Snufkin: Melody Of Moominvalley, besides that their heads always looked palatable to me - like bleached kidney beans. Plus the Moomin merch I'd seen over the years in official Moomin shops or the odd gift store was delightful, so if someone had rocked up with a pencil case adorned with Moomin heads back in school, you bet I would've been jealous.


And having finished the game, I'm unsure whether I've truly learned any more about the Moomins and their friends. But then again, I've come away thinking that it's a pleasant universe to spend a few hours in, where the wild is celebrated with rebellious song. If you're after the video game equivalent of a walk through the woods on a warm afternoon, Moominvalley is the place to wander.

[h2]💚Thank you! A personal message from the Hyper Games’ CEO, Are💚[/h2]
Wow, it’s finally out now. It’s been more than 4 years since we started tinkering with this project, and many of you here have been following the development for several years at this point. I would like to use this occasion to extend a huge thank you to every single one of you who’s been our champions all this time. Having an active community has been so heartwarming for us, and we really can’t wait to see how you all like the game. So, from everyone in our team: Thank you for being part of this journey with us!

It’s been an amazing journey in creating Snufkin: Melody of Moominvalley, and we are so honored by the opportunity to create a game set in Tove Jansson’s wonderful and charming Moomin world.
We hope Snufkin: Melody of Moominvalley brings the same nostalgia and comfort to Moomin fans - as well as offering a welcoming, sweet journey to those who may be setting foot in the Moomin world for the first time!

If you head back into Moominvalley with us, we would love to hear about your sign-plucking prowess, journey and what memories you created. Please consider leaving us a Steam review!



The adventure begins as Snufkin arrives to Moominvalley after the long winter. He discovers it has changed - and not for the better! He finds grotesque parks, gated and patrolled, and sets on a determined mission to get rid of them. As Snufkin, you will pluck park signage, distract Police Officers, and knock over statues. And along the journey, you will also create cherished memories with critters and inhabitants in the valley - forming new friendships and delightful connections.

💗We hope our game warms your heart like a warm cup of tea or an afternoon nap with the sun shining through the window. Just like how wildflowers peek out from under melting snow or how melodies from Snufkin’s harmonica soar through the brisk night sky, we hope you all find something on the journey that stirs, and perhaps softens, your heart.💗
