Our take on Skábma™ - Snowfall
The defining mechanic is the enchanted drum, which reveals hidden elements of the Arctic environment and works with four spirits to alter movement and confront the spreading disorder.
What is Skábma™ - Snowfall?
Play as Áilu, a young Sámi reindeer herder whose search for a runaway doe leads to an enchanted drum and the lost knowledge of Sámi healers.
Explore Nordic landscapes and spiritual realms in a third-person, story-driven adventure. Use the drum and the abilities of four Familiar Spirits—the Owl, Bear, Trout, and Fox—to reveal hidden elements, follow trails, overcome environmental puzzles, and confront a disorder spreading through the land, people, and animals. The game includes platforming challenges, collectables, spirits to meet, family treasures, cultural notes, hare-catching, and conversations with spirits. Cutscenes are voiced in Northern Sámi, with music incorporating traditional Sámi yoik singing.
