Developer Red Stage Entertainment and publisher PID Games have announced that action-adventure Skabma – Snowfall is coming to PC on April 22. The devs describe the game as a never before seen representation of indigenous Sámi stories and culture, allowing players to explore the Nordic beauty in the world where old campfire tales come alive.
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.
