Skábma - Snowfall, developed by Red Stage Entertainment, is a Sámi inspired action adventure video game released in 2022. It follows the orphan reindeer herder Áilu as he navigates himself through the Sápmi, healing and fighting off the disease that has ravaged the land. The game takes inspiration from a series of Sámi myths and traditions, incorporating them as part of the lore with the game’s framework mainly being based around the familiar spirits called, in Northern Sámi, «Sáiva ealli».

Stikling was granted the opportunity to speak with the script writer of Skábma - Snowfall and co-founder of Red Stage Entertainment, Marjaana Auranen. Her Sámi name is Teresá Joret Mariánná.

From its very first moments, Golf Club Nostalgia’s narrative refuses to place it in that camp of cozy games that the gameplay so effortlessly evokes. Instead of being informed about your new farm in the countryside or your indefinite vacation, the first lines of GCN tell of an ecological catastrophe, one in which only a small group of people escaped by fleeing to Mars. The ultra-rich, obviously, who now take charter flights back to earth to play golf in the world they left to rot.
