Nordic folklore provides the setting for this adventure, in which you guide Tove through a snowy wilderness as she tries to save her family. You explore a forgotten world, collect curiosities and solve puzzles that open the way deeper into the cold. The monsters of local legend are not all enemies, and some can be befriended.
The story deals with loss and redemption, and the stylized, storybook look gives Röki the feel of a dark fairy tale. It is a single-player game with full controller support, suited to players who like atmospheric, exploration-driven adventures and are happy to move at a measured pace.
