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.
