Meeting Röki

This week, you'll meet the eponymous monster of our tale. Of course it's Tove's adventures you follow through the game, but it's Roki that sits at the heart of things.

Here, you'll find a few hints as to his true nature, but you and Tove will have to overcome trials and tribulations to figure out the whole story.

Personality

Röki is a tragic, monstrous denizen of The Nether. His snatching Lars away is what sets the game in motion – but his story begins even before that moment.

What are Röki’s plans for young Lars? Is he truly a monster at heart?

Perhaps, as you join Tove on her journey to reclaim her little brother, something of Roki’s humanity and the conflict within him will be revealed.
