The story and gameplay are perfect for a Moomin game; you never feel like you're being punished for missing a step or getting caught, and so much of the fun comes from exploring and playing around to find out what happens.

Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
It's difficulty makes it age appropriate for any child able to hold a controller and comfortable reading short sentences (or can be read to by an adult), but it's not so simple that an adult cannot find it an engaging game.
