Moomin: Midsummer Madness is available now on Steam, Nintendo Switch, and Nintendo Switch 2. Developed by Crossbridge Game Studios and published by Shochiku Games, the point-and-click adventure adapts Tove Jansson’s novel Moominsummer Madness, with additional stories alongside scenes from the book.
The game costs $19.99, with a 10% launch discount available through November 26. A limited-time Moominvalley Bundle promotion also accompanies the release.
Moomintroll and Little My Share the Spotlight
Moomin: Midsummer Madness stars Moomintroll and Little My, bringing familiar characters and locations into an adventure built around dialogue, exploration and puzzles.
The adaptation includes recognizable moments from Jansson’s novel while adding new episodes. Its hand-drawn illustrations and animation draw on the original artwork, with locations ranging from the Moominhouse to the floating theater.
That approach carries the book’s visual identity into the game’s environments and characters. The new stories sit alongside the source material, giving returning readers additional events to experience while introducing the setting to players meeting these characters for the first time.
Swap Characters to Solve Puzzles
You can switch between characters and use their individual traits to progress through the story. Character swapping forms part of the puzzle-solving, alongside conversations, environmental exploration and minigames.
A built-in hint system offers help when you get stuck. Shochiku describes the game as an adventure for players of different ages, with the hints supporting a more relaxed approach to working through its mysteries.
The focus stays on interacting with characters and examining your surroundings, with several ways to move the story forward rather than relying on a single type of puzzle.
Launch Discounts Include a Moominvalley Bundle
Alongside the standalone game’s 10% discount, Shochiku announced a Moominvalley Bundle featuring Snufkin: Melody of Moominvalley and Moomintroll: Winter’s Warmth. The bundle carries a 15% discount during a two-week promotional period.
Moomin: Midsummer Madness is available now on Steam, Switch, and Switch 2.
