Midvinter

Released2016
In this cozy little point-and-click fairy-tale, you are a gnome on an abandoned farm. When you realize that humans have come to live there once more, you find yourself useful again - but also that you might have to work harder than ever to keep them safe from the dark creatures that lurk out in the forest. You might even have to call on some of the fair folks for help. Their aid, however, does not come without a price... The game draws heavily from Swedish folk lore, with art inspired by artists such as John Bauer and Alvaro Tapia. It uses puzzles and riddles to tell its story, and there are several different ends to it. The player will also get to experience unique music and compelling voice over, as well as discover part of Sweden's history, since the game takes place in the 19th century - a time where over a million people left the country to avoid starvation and build a new life for themselves. This game was created by one person, Anna Jenelius, over 6 months - plus composer Douglas Holmquist who made the wonderful music. It fits anyone who would like to experience an atmospheric and cozy fairy-tale, that might remind you of the stories you heard as a child.

About This Game

Nisse the Gnome discovers a light shining from the human farmhouse above—the farm has new owners for the first time in years, and a baby is coming. The celebration is cut short when Nisse ventures out and encounters a forest troll who has the same information and a very different plan: steal the baby the moment it's born. Nisse must gather enough strength to stop her, or ask the Skogsrå—the Guardian of the forest—to intervene. Midvinter is a short holiday-themed point-and-click adventure drawing on Scandinavian folklore.
