Play Overview
Snufkin: Melody of Moominvalley (2024) is an adventure about protecting the harmony of Moomin Valley from an over-industrious Park Keeper. Play involves exploring the world and using your instruments to help the people you meet and disrupt the commercial parks that threaten the landscape. The varied tasks, memorable characters and Sigur Ros music make this an experience as endearing as the fantasy world that inspired it.
A series of parks have cropped up in Moominvalley, disrupting the landscape and its harmonious nature. You play Snufkin who must use stealth and distraction tactics to evade police officers, pull out signs, and knock over statues to restore inhabitants’ homes. Play involves exploring the valley to meet and talk to different creatures. Some of them you need to help and others offer to help you. Along the way, you gain a variety of instruments that let you interact with the world and creatures you meet.
As you progress through the valley, solving musical and environmental puzzles, you uncover secrets and ultimately foil the Park Keeper's plans. All you need are your trusty instruments, some clever stealth, and the friends you’ll meet along the way.
The result is not only a new way to meet the beloved characters from Tove Jansson's stories but an endearing musical adventure in its own right. If you already know and love the Moomins, you'll likely meet your favourite character here, and if not you'll find inspiration for reading the books.

There are some mildly scary moments as you encounter a large dark monster that chases you. However, he turns out to be friendly and the suggestion of his kidnapping people is an exaggeration.
