Get to know many of the beloved characters from Tove Jansson's stories. If you already know and love the Moomins, you'll likely meet your favorite character here, and if not - you're in for a treat!

The soundtrack features music from (), the album from iconic Icelandic post-rock band Sigur Rós, as well as arrangements from composer and sound designer Oda Tilset.

“We want the game to feel very Nordic, and the sound of Sigur Rós has some of the most Nordic atmosphere I can imagine. We knew quite early on that we wanted to involve the band in some way, and I’m extremely pleased to see the direction this collaboration is heading,” said Hyper Games CEO Are Sundnes.

Sigur Rós is an Icelandic post-rock band from Reykjavík, active since 1994. The band comprises singer and guitarist Jón Þór "Jónsi" Birgisson, bassist Georg Holm, and keyboardist Kjartan Sveinsson. Known for their ethereal sound, frontman Jónsi's falsetto vocals, and their use of bowed guitar, Sigur Rós incorporate classical and minimal aesthetic elements.
