About the Game

A Storm Has Changed Moominvalley

A mysterious storm has swept across Moominvalley, leaving nature in confusion. Forests twist into tangled paths, rivers overflow their banks, and strange creatures wander where they do not belong. Somewhere within the valley, the legendary Magician's Hat has appeared — and the growing chaos may be tied to its power.

Only by finding the hat and returning it to the mountains can harmony be restored.

Journey alongside Snufkin, Moomintroll, and beloved friends through forests, caves, rivers, lonely shores, and forgotten places to uncover the mystery behind the storm and help Moominvalley find its balance once again.

Built specifically for virtual reality, Moominvalley VR transforms the beloved world of Tove Jansson into a living storybook adventure filled with exploration, discovery, companionship, and wonder.
