I’m an American so I didn’t grow up with The Moomins but I know enough about the series and I’ve been reading some of the comics so I decided to get this after playing the demo months ago.

Overall it’s a chill adventure game where you play as Snufkin as he wages battle against the cops and NIMBYs trying to gentrify Moominvalley. Puzzles are rather easy but it’s fun exploring and the stealth segments against the cops add nice variety. The art and music are wonderful, really capturing the whimsical fairy tale vibes the series has. The writing is fun with a good chunk of the game having Snufkin and Little My bouncing off each other. You can tell this is a love letter to the series so fans will definitely get a kick out of it but I think even you don’t know anything about Moomins you’ll still have a fun time, because it’s just a quality game all around.
