Röki | PART 1 | POLYGON TREEHOUSE
5Story:
You play as a girl Tove on a journey to save her family. This journey will take you through a magical forest full of all sorts of spirits, creatures, and other elements pulled directly from folklore. It's a story full of discovery and wonder, but also grief and self-reflection. Despite how the game looks, its themes are surprisingly darker in nature. It makes for this very cool contrast, especially because you see the story through the eyes of a child. This is only furthered as you progress through the game, with the story revealing bits and pieces to a larger narrative that I honestly was not expecting.
Bugs:
The fps, is capped at 60 and I unfortunately could not find a way to remove that cap. What's odd though is that the game's animations can be somewhat jittery even when running at that constant 60 fps. I also ran into a few bugs, including a puzzle getting stuck and playing sounds without the visuals updated to match and a reproducible bug that caused the game to hang while saving.
Game play time: 9-10 hours
Released 23rd July
