Tove and Lars make their escape into the forest, where Lars is suddenly captured by the monster and whisked away into the unknown. One fateful night, a large monster suddenly appears, smashing their home to pieces and starting a fire that reduces the structure to smoldering rubble. Accepting her father’s lack of emotional accessibility, Tove does everything for Lars, including cooking, cleaning, and the entire nightly routine from storytime to bedtime. Although its initially unclear how Tove’s mother died, her father has not been coping with the passing well, choosing to spend his days in a drunken slumber instead of caring for his children. Röki opens up on Tove, a young girl seemingly burdened with the task of raising her younger brother, Lars. ![]() ![]() Receiving a nomination for ‘Best Debut Game’ in The Game Awards 2020, it’s clear Röki made a tremendous impact on gamers with its scintillating story and hauntingly magical world. Based on Scandinavian folklore, Röki is the debut title from Polygon Treehouse, a UK-based indie studio co-founded by two ex-Guerrilla Games art directors.
