The French development team Crossbridge Game Studios has announced the upcoming release of a new adventure game dedicated to the famous Moomin characters. The project, supported by the Japanese publisher Shochiku, is titled 'Moomin: Midsummer Madness' and is scheduled for release this fall.
The game's plot is based on one of Tove Jansson's stories – 'Dangerous Summer'. Players will be able to explore brightly designed locations, solve puzzles, and participate in various mini-games. According to the developers, the game is a classic point-and-click, where the difficulty level of the puzzles remains moderate, and the built-in hint system helps avoid difficulties.
Special attention in the project is given to the visual design: all decorations are handmade, giving the game a cozy and simultaneously lively appearance. A rich soundtrack, created specifically for the project, complements the atmosphere and enhances immersion in the world of Moomins.
Platforms and Localization
«Moomin: Midsummer Madness» will be available on personal computers via Steam, as well as on the portable console Nintendo Switch. The package includes full Russian localization, making the game accessible to a wide audience in the CIS countries.
For fans of the series, this is not the first new release. Previously, the Norwegian studio Hyper Games released its own project about the Moomins, and last year a cozy game dedicated to the character Snufkin hit the market. Expectations for the new adventure are high, as it promises to combine the familiar world with convenient gameplay for newcomers.
In the context of the growing popularity of adaptations of Tove Jansson's works, «Moomin: Midsummer Madness» could be another step towards strengthening the cultural dialogue between Europe and Japan. The project demonstrates how classic children's literature continues to find new forms of expression in interactive media.
The developers emphasized that the game is aimed at both dedicated fans of the Moomins and players who are just getting acquainted with this world. A low entry threshold, understandable puzzles, and support for multiple languages, including Russian, make the project appealing to a wide audience.
The release in the fall is expected to attract the attention of both adventure game enthusiasts and family players looking for a calm and visually pleasing experience. Details about exact dates and prices will be announced closer to the launch.
