Watch our full Review in 3 Minutes for Röki. Röki is available now on PC and will arrive on Nintendo Switch at a later date. Come for the cute and inviting graphics and stay for a touching tale that explores themes of family, friendship, and loyalty. Beyond the game’s lovely aesthetic lies a dark, unsettling narrative about love, loss, and betrayal. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed watching and experiencing Scandinavian folk tales come to life. Luckily, the game provides a fast-travel system using a network of trees that allows you to easily teleport between each major area. You’ll do a lot of backtracking to revisit acquaintances and test out new objects you’ve collected. The game’s charming art style can make even the dreariest cavern look like an inviting refuge. When your brother Lars gets taken by a mysterious, grinning creature named Röki, you take it upon yourself to find Lars even when the odds are stacked against you.įrom chilly mountain tops and snow-covered forests to murky underground hideouts and forgotten crypts, Röki will take you through a variety of fantastical environments inspired by Scandinavian folklore. You play as Tove, a young girl who is adept at collecting loot and is even better at befriending strange creatures. Röki is a point-and-click adventure game developed by Polygon Treehouse and published by United Label.
