STOCKHOLM – Mar. 7 2024 – Swedish publisher Raw Fury and Norwegian studio Hyper Games today launched their highly anticipated cozy musical adventure game, Snufkin: Melody of Moominvalley, globally for PC and Nintendo Switch.
Drawing from renowned author Tove Jannson’s beloved works, Snufkin: Melody of Moominvalley expands the wonderful world of Moomin, giving fans of the stories and characters another adventure to explore and those who have yet to check out the Moomin universe, the perfect introduction. Players are invited to restore harmony to the game’s carefully crafted world as they go on a wholesome journey filled with thoughtful stories and touching, emotional moments.
Raw Fury and Hyper Games plan to bring Snufkin: Melody of Moominvalley to Android and iOS devices at a later date.
“The Hyper Games team has shown an exceptionally deep understanding of the Moomin universe and the IP,” said Roleff Kråkström, Managing Director of Moomin Characters. “From the outset, they wanted to create a game for adults and children alike, appreciating the deeper levels of the original stories, which they have beautifully brought to life”.
Snufkin: Melody of Moominvalley is a story-rich musical adventure game about Snufkin restoring the valley and helping the quirky and memorable characters and critters who call it home. A series of hideous parks have cropped up in Moominvalley, disrupting the landscape and its harmonious nature.
