Röki

Röki is an adventure game inspired by Scandinavian folklore. The protagonist is the young girl Tove. She lives with her little brother Lars and her father Henrik on a house on top of a mountain in an undefined location. Something has happened to her mother Eva and her father is still mourning. He spends his days sleeping in his chair and drinking, while Tove has no choice but to look after her brother all the time. One night the siblings wake up to a giant monster breaking through their bedroom window. They have no choice but to leave their trapped father behind and escape on a sled down the hill, looking for help. Lars disappears and Tove then has to explore a deep forest and befriend magical creatures to find clues on how to rescue her brother.

Tove is controlled directly. When she approaches a character or item in the environment where interaction is possible, it is highlighted and an interaction prompt appears. Tove will then start a conversation, examine something or interact with it in another way. Certain items can be picked up and are stored in an inventory. There they can be combined or used in the environment. This is done by dragging the item into the environment and then releasing it at the desired location to trigger an interaction. This is the main mechanic to solve the puzzles in the game.
