#Röki

Some slower-paced games I’ve been playing while sick:

Disco Elysium: insanely interesting storyline (and history of the world they’ve created for the game). The environment is really cool altho if you’re affected by things (racism, social unrest, abject poverty, etc) easily you might have to take the game slow & with breaks of something more lighthearted. What’s interesting for me, French is my mother tongue but I don’t use it very often anymore— but the game is actually causing my French accent to creep back in with how often they go in and out of it (I speak all the dialogue I read to myself if that makes sense). It’s really comforting.

Sea of Stars: I’d never heard of this game and just decided to try it out because of the graphics and the title tbh. I’ve ended up really liking it. The storyline is interesting and I love all the characters. I like that some characters will join and leave your team as they want. The graphics of the game are really cute, and they have animated cutscenes too.

Röki: I’ve only just (very briefly) started this one but mentioning because the animation style is awesome, and so is the audio/sound design (from the music to the sfx), from what I got from the initial like 5 mins. Will play more so I can discuss more of it.

Wild at Heart: another one I’ve just started with another unique animation style. This one I think I’m going to like. It seems to be a kid who runs away from home because their father is neglectful(?) I’m really early but I’ve been enjoying it so far. The creatures are cute and in kid-like fashion all the new characters you meet are initially called things like “old weirdo” until you learn their actual names.

Thanks @tilstandsrapporter for suggesting some of these!!

I recently finished a charmingly magical game called Röki. I took this opportunity to draw our adorable protagonists and to finally test those J.R. White acrylic paint pens @realmofadityas recommended me! It's probably obvious that I have no idea how to paint, and I'm not sure doing this whole thing in paint pens is their ideal application, but I had fun. My one gripe with the pens is they didn't come with a brown; I planned to use this piece of wood as the brown anyway, but still. Some of the other colours aren't quite right due to the limited selection, but that's user error from choosing to use only paint pens for this.

Was watching Nimona and I saw her shadow creature form and could have sworn it looked extremely familiar:

And I was like "where have I seen something similar before with a similar backstory?"

And then it occurred to me

It's Röki:

Not only do they LOOK related, but they have similar yet different lives??

Röki was a child born to Rörka who just wanted him to be normal and so tried to force him into a human form just so he'd fit in and be normal after her brothers told him he would never be able to fit in with society.

Nimona was a child who was born and was told multiple times that she was a monster and she couldn't fit into society so she may as well vanish.

However, Nimona's shadow form was borne of fear and agony. She only went into that form because her grief and pain were too much to bear. Nimona's pain forced her to become the shadow creature. On the other hand, Röki's large shadow/crow form is his natural form and although he could have turned into a normal boy through help of the ritual Rörka was doing, he chose to remain in this form because it would save an innocent child's life. This links both Röki and Nimona's forms together through pain and it's actually quite disturbing yet heartbreaking.

Röki (Polygon Treehouse, 2020)

Thanks to the last Switch eShop sale I found the wonderful made Röki from Polygon Treehouse. Such a great story based on northern mythology, far away from all the clichés we already know. Plus an immersiv environment and so well written characters. I love it❤️

Winter games: "Röki" (PC)

Winter can be pretty cold and depressing, but with Polygon Treehouse, United Label, and CI Games‘ dark fairy-tale adventure Röki, there might still be a spark of hope. Röki (PC)(UK 2020, developer: Polygon Treehouse, publishers: United Label/CI Games, platforms: PC, Xbox Series, PS4, Nintendo Switch) Young girl Tove tries to rescue her brother Lars who has been taken by a monster into a…

[withered-tears]

@mac-n-cheese-flavored-arson easier to type it here than in a reply dkfbjkjgf

allright lets see, in no particular order we got:

When the past was around (super short super bittersweet point and click puzzle game)

The stillness of the wind (kinda like a farm simulator in a way? your an old lady living alone taking care of her chickens and chores)

Planet of lana (sidescroll adventure and the MOST gorgeus game youl see in ages. imagine you are playing a studio ghilbi movie)

Far: lone sails and its sequel, Far: changing tides. (sidescrolling, perform maintenance on your vehicle as it keeps moving)

Wavetale (adventure, very interesting setting, and FANTASTIC voice acting, dont see many indie games with that!)

Timelie (time related puzzles, this one gets tricky)

Röki (point click puzzle adventure)

chants of sennar (puzzle, super interesting setting and story)

children of silentown (more point click puzzle adventure, i know i know, i have way too many of those. this one OST is SPECIALLY good)

Hob (action adventure with a GORGEOUS world aesthetics. very fun to beat!)

After us (adventure, go around a a future dead earth overrun with garbage and pollution and slowly bring nature back to the world)

SABLE (exploration/quests, very chill and super interesting. you WILL get emotionally attached to your hover bike)

Spiritfarer (this one is THE emotional destroying game of all time, story rich minitown management in a way? but in a boat. i got 44 hours on this sucker. best steam purchase of my LIFE)

Yeva (fr5om the creator of GRIS! im only halfway thru this one, but if you liked GRIS youl love this one as well)

there you go! some of these are less emotional and more just pretty, but i still loved every single one. Hope you find any of them enjoyable if you try them out!

god Minute of Islands FUCKd me up real good.

Röki update:

Röki is so cute

Tove is so cute (can someone confirm how her name is pronounced? I have a hard time hearing and I feel like I’ve heard both “too-veh” and “toe-vee”)

Lars is so cute

I almost cried in the nightmare well

Trollsisters A+

The game has kept me completely enthralled, there’s been no boring parts.

YOU’VE PLAYED ROKI???? /pos

Sorry I’m just very excited someone else has played my favourite game that most people never heard of

Yeah! I listened to the soundtrack first and then I got a switch and got Röki on there and I keep needing to replay it because its SO GOOD HELP

The storyline? Immaculate

The quests? Make me pull my hair out in frustration but also <3

The characters? Tove beloved
