Any chance of Finnish-Swedish voices?
I tried checking and as far as I can see, there is only text, not voices.

To me, having the moomins without that charming finnish accent on Swedish is missing something intrisically important to the moomin experience. Is there any chance of voice packs being released for the game in the future?

There is not actually speaked voice acting in this game :). They just make sounds.

Hey Mack! We haven't included the VO into the game because Moomin fans all over the world are used to different voices of the main characters. Some people even grew up hearing their own parents reading them the Moomin stories :) So we didn't want to challenge the voices that people were used to already and instead implemented the whimsical sounds and exclamations!

Thank you for the quick answer. Not the answer I was hoping for, but I can understand your reasoning.

Also, the devs said, they wanted the game to feel more like book, so that the players could read out the texts themselves and mimic the voices of the characters. Check the interviews on youtube if you are interrested in those matters.
Pretty sure the actual reason is that voice acting is expensive and they already blew most of the budget on Sigurd Ros. :chuchelcrazy:
And if they had gone with voice acting it would have been in English anyway.
