Her father spends most of his time grieving and sleeping in front of the fireplace in their family home.

Tove’s mother passed away shortly after Lars was born. In order to rescue Lars, Tove must navigate her way through the forest, solving puzzles and making connections to the fantastical inhabitants along the way.Īlthough primarily built around magic and folklore, the narrative has a very tragic foundation that it is built on. As it happens, the creatures are real and Lars was taken by the magical creature, Roki, for nefarious reasons that are made clear early on in the game. Lars has a vivid imagination and often believes he sees the mythical creatures from the stories Tove reads to him. Based in Scandinavian folklore, it tells the story of a young girl, Tove, who is searching for her younger brother, Lars. It easily kept me captivated until the end. Roki, the debut game from Polygon Treehouse, captures everything that makes fairy tales charming and alluring, while also showing some of the dark sides as well. I know I was shocked when I found out some of the origin stories. It would only take you a moment searching online to see the dark histories of some of the ones you remember the most. The stories we know have often originated and been built upon dark themes of evil, loss, heartbreak and loneliness. As we get older, however, we often see that fairy tales are not always as light and innocent as we remembered them being. I think I could ask almost anyone, and they would have had a favourite fairy tale or children’s story growing up.
