About the Game

From the creators of Snufkin: Melody of Moominvalley comes a heartwarming new adventure inspired by the beloved Moomin stories by Tove Jansson. This time, join Moomintroll himself on a charming but cold winter journey. 

A heartwarming story

When Moomintroll unexpectedly wakes up early from his winter hibernation, he finds himself completely alone for the first time, in a world he barely recognizes. The familiar landscape of Moominvalley is now cloaked in the frosty veil of the Lady of the Cold. Initially seeking someone to care for him and longing to banish winter, young Moomintroll reluctantly embarks on a journey into the unknown, learning to forge new friendships and help those in greater need than himself.

Explore a winter wonderland

Wander through the beautiful landscape inspired by Nordic nature, exploring Moominvalley and the nearby forests and mountains.  Meet new friends and experience winter for the first time as Moomintroll.

Interact with beautifully crafted, cozy surroundings 

Winter can be harsh, but also a lot of fun! Meet many of Moomintroll’s old and new friends, and help them out by solving quests and puzzles.

Help Moomintroll confront his fears

The cold season is filled with challenges and unknowns for Moomintroll. While moments can be scary and hard for him to overcome, there is also warmth to discover through community and kindness.

Re-imagine Tove Jansson’s Moominland Midwinter

A trove of nostalgia for fans of Moomin, and an approachable starting point for those experiencing this wonderful world for the first time.

A spiritual successor to Snufkin: Melody of Moominvalley

Moomintroll: Winter's Warmth is a story-driven, cozy puzzle adventure that lets you return to the enchanting Moominvalley through the creative lens of the award-winning indie studio Hyper Games. While not a direct sequel to Snufkin: Melody of Moominvalley, it is a spiritual successor with many similarities. You can enjoy both games on their own, and in any order you’d like.
