Description

Skábma - Snowfall is a never before seen representation of indigenous Sámi stories and culture. Explore Nordic beauty in a world where the old northern campfire tales come alive! Use your wits to solve environmental puzzles and platforming challenges in this narrative 3rd person adventure.

Save your home!


The daily life of a Sámi village is disturbed after an accident at a nearby Tar-Burning Pit. An odd disease starts spreading across the area, affecting everything from the land to the people and animals.

You play as Áilu, a young Sámi herder searching for a runaway reindeer doe. The mystery of the growing disorder starts to unravel when Áilu finds an old enchanted drum, Goavddis. Time is running out for the infected, but the long lost knowledge of Sámi healers, Noaidis, is still beating within the drum.



What is lost can always be regained! Find the four Familiar Spirits and reconnect with nature to find the source of the disease. It’s your time to become a new Noaidi for a new era!

For the time I was able to play, I really loved the setting, the story, and the ambiance. But it turns out controller-driven jumping-puzzle games are just not my thing. You get to the point where the only way forward is

Cool Game. A lot of care and thought went into this game for sure. Characters, Scenes, and Artstyle are all very well done! Even the drum beating to the rhythm of the ambient music in each area was a very nice touch!
