Shochiku Games has announced that a free demo of the point-and-click adventure *Moomin: Summer Festival in Moominvalley* will be available on PC (Steam) starting October 15, 2026.
In addition, starting today, October 8, the game’s store pages for Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 have been made available.
Get an early look at Chapter 1, identical to the version showcased at TGS 2026!
This point-and-click adventure game is based on the classic children’s novel *Moominvalley in Summer* from Tove Jansson’s “Moomin” series. Developed by France-based Crossbridge Game Studios, the game faithfully recreates the original story’s world with warm, hand-drawn art.
One day, while Moomintroll was anxiously awaiting Snufkin’s return from his travels, Moominvalley was suddenly struck by a massive flood. As the Moomin family drifted along on the water, they arrived at a mysterious theater filled with costumes, scripts, and the “magic” unique to the stage.
In addition to numerous iconic scenes recreated with deep love and respect for the original works, the game also features all-new adventures created exclusively for this title. The game includes puzzles and mini-games that let you utilize each character’s unique abilities—such as swimming or squeezing through narrow gaps—and a hint system is available to help you out if you get stuck while exploring.
The Steam demo, which has been confirmed for release, features the same content as the playable version showcased at the recent Tokyo Game Show 2026. It allows you to fully enjoy Chapter 1—the opening chapter of the main game, which consists of six chapters in total.
Get a sneak peek at the Moomin family’s adventure—as they drift away from Moominvalley, which has been struck by a great flood, and arrive at a strange theater—ahead of the game’s release on November 12.
Additionally, a demo for the Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 is scheduled to be released at a later date.
