The game itself looks utterly glorious too, with a stunning storybook art style.

You play as Snufkin as they try to restore the valley's natural balance are a series of parks have appeared to throw off its vibe. It's an open-world title filled with environmental and musical puzzles to solve.

The Park Keeper will no doubt become your arch nemesis in this cozy adventure, as his intrusive parks slowly ruin Moominvalley. You'll need to use stealth, your trusty harmonica, a little stealth, and the friends you'll meet in order to get him outta there.

Snufkin: Melody of Moominvalley is due to launch sometime in 2023 on PC and consoles, so get this one on your Steam wishlist now.
