Midvinter gets midsummer release on Android

The gaming world seems to have wisely caught on to the fascinating possibilities of Scandinavian folklore of late. The latest developer to tap into that rich mythology is indie developer Talecore Studios, who has just ported Midvinter to Android devices after a stealthy PC release we missed earlier this year.

Midvinter is a "cozy little point-and-click fairy-tale" in which players control a little gnome living on an abandoned farm. Or at least, it was abandoned until more humans moved in recently, giving you a purpose once again. It'll be hard work, but it's your task 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..."


Created entirely by Anna Jenelius (with help from a composer) over the course of six months, Midvinter is described as "Monkey Island meets Over the Garden Wall. The game is set in 19th century Sweden, a significant time period when "over a million people left the country to avoid starvation and build a new life for themselves." Drawing heavily from Swedish folklore and inspired by artists like John Bauer and Alvaro Tapia, Midvinter promises to use its puzzles and riddles to tell a story that has multiple endings.

Originally released under the radar in May for PC on Steam, Android users can now find the game for their preferred platform at Google Play. To learn more about Midvinter, check out the official website for additional details.
