I will use the description from Steam to explain this game:
Snufkin: Melody of Moominvalley is a story-rich musical adventure game about Snufkin restoring the valley and helping the quirky and memorable characters and critters who call it home. A series of hideous parks have cropped up in Moominvalley, disrupting the landscape and its harmonious nature. As Snufkin you will distract police officers, pull out signs, and knock over misplaced statues as you vigorously try to restore nature and the inhabitants’ home while putting an end to the industrious Park Keeper’s plans…
Snufkin had been given the role of spreading invitations to everyone in Moominvalley including the Park Keeper. While the Park Keeper and his officers leave and waiting at the theater, Snukin destroyed the park, and a new area is now open for him to explore. Everyone got the invitation except for Fillyjonk who isolated herself from anyone since who knows when. On the way to her house, woodies start coming out from their cave hole and cling on Snufkin (He can't climb when he is being followed by the woodies because they cling on him if he does). They can be distracted by playing instrument near a pile of sand (The sound causes a wind that blew the sand upward which the woodies will instantly play on this sandy area instead of following Snufkin), make a bird sing with his instrument (They will focus on listening to the bird singing), or make a bird fly straight to somewhere and distract the woodies to watch the bird coming back, giving Snufkin time to run to the next area. This will repeat until Snufkin arrive in Fillyjonk's place where the woodies will play on the water puddle while Snufkin can make her come out from her house by destroying her garden and stain her clean laundry.
Now that Filly comes out from her house, Snufkin gave her the invitation and head to an area with a well on it. Here, Little My will ask for something to play with which the Hemulen doll will come in handy. After handing Little My the doll, Snorkmaiden can be heard lamenting about something. Turns out, she lost her anklet, and she will give Snukin the last masterpiece page after he give the missing anklet to her. Also....if you wander around, a hemulen painter will ask Snufkin for some water for his water painting. While looking for something where water drops, a spider is blocking a hole where mouses live. Snufkin's little drum will make the spider move and the mouses will run to the mouse hole which Snufkin said that the drum had a way of making it move which the spider said that the tune is enjoyable. Back to the hemulen painter, he gave Snufkin another page of Moominpappa's masterpiece. Snufkin heads to the bug collector and give him the invite. Now that everything is done, it's time to free Moomintroll next!
