PayPalMoomintroll: Winter's Warmth is set to arrive on April 27th from the creators of Snufkin: Melody of Moominvalley, giving us another lovely adventure. Additionally, the developer announced recently that the game and demo work "great" on Steam Deck. It hasn't been verified by Valve yet so has no official rating.
What is it? 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 don't need to have played the previous game.

The 1977-82 stop-motion tv series (shown in the UK between 1983-85) scared the underwear off younger me :-) This one sounds less scary!

How lovely, I had no idea these were a thing! Quite appropriate too as I'm in the middle of (re) reading the books!
It is available subtitled in Swedish too! Anything else would just be plain wrong. I still consider it heresy that the Moomin cookies (produced in Finland) say Moomin Biscuits on the box and not Muminkex! 😫

Quoting: Axel Ekholm I like the art style. Waiting for reviews 🙂Not surprising. The "moomin" art style has been widely beloved for decades. I have the books on my shelf from when I was a kid, must have got them like 50 years ago. I should really have another look.

Interesting how many Moomin characters are actually based on real people!
Atos Wirtanen (Snufkin / Nuuskamuikkunen)
Tove Jansson described Atos Wirtanen in a letter that he is untamed and has this drive for life yet with a very clear mind. They were a loving couple for several years.
Atos Wirtanen sought to make an active contribution and even changes to society. He was a journalist and tried himself even in political arena. Atos Wirtanen was recognized as real life Snufkin. His desire was to roam free and physical possessions were not important to him. He was, what Finns have been sometimes been described as: starer at the fire deep in thoughts in midst of woods.
Wirtanen taught her companion the rolling down of pebbles from cliffs. That's some of the things Moomintroll and Snufkin do together. Even that green hat originates to Wirtanen.
Tuulikki Pietilä (Too-ticky / Tuutikki)
She was the role model for Too-ticky, introduced in Moominland Midwinter what this game now is about.
During the Winter War she served in Karelia as a part of voluntary auxiliary paramilitary organisation for women as a Lotta.
Tove Jansson wanted to bring forth her Finnish courage (Tuulikki called as sisu or ytyä) in war time Finland as the whole nation was at stake; she excelled in thought provoking political cartoons during Winter War (and Continuation War), as one example.
Tuulikki was a craftswoman (like Too-ticky) who created her own worlds in her studio. Same way as Wirtanen's green hat came to be; Too-ticky's sweater comes from Pietilä.
Tuulikki was the love of Tove's life. They in 1955 and remained together until Tove's death in 2001. Despite Tove’s invitations, they didn’t dance together at that first meeting. Tuulikki though some time later sent a Christmas card that same year and wheels of love started to roll. As a sidenote: the movie about Tove (2020) for some odd reason gives a quite falsified picture of the couple's relationship.
