You can buy Röki on Steam but also on gog.com I have version 1.07 and have had no problems with the game
Chapter One: Home Time
Tove and Lars are playing by the frozen lake. Well ..... Lars is playing and ..............
Tove thinks it is high time to go back home. However, little Lars is not really looking forward to that and is struggling a bit.
You will now get an explanation of how to navigate Tove through the game via the WASD keys on your keyboard, but you can also use your arrow keys if you find that easier
Lars is convinced that it is now really high time to go back home and he is running ahead
So be a big girl and follow Lars. By default Tove will run but you can increase her speed by pressing your SHIFT key ..... Tove will then sprint
Follow Lars to a screen or two to the right and you'll reach the Abominable Snowman. Lars is hiding in or behind the Snowman. There are 2 black ravens on top of the snowman. At the tree, on the right, 2 beautiful snowballs are lying ready for the taking. Black Ravens play an important role in the game ... you must always chase them away ........ The game treats you again with a message about how to view objects.
So walk closer to the Snowman so that you get the eye icon.
Then press your Enter key or left mouse button and listen / see what Tove says.
Tove thinks Lars is playing "Hide and Seek" behind the snowman. Press your Enter key or left mouse button again to clear the text screen.
Walk to the 2 snowballs and make sure you get the eye icon. Then press your Enter key or Left mouse button to pick up 1 of the 2 snowballs
Tove stores the snowball in her backpack, which you always see at the top left, and the game explains how to open and close the backpack.
Walk back to the Snowman. Then press your I-key to open the backpack, and therefore the inventory, and see ... the just picked up snowball is neatly in the inventory. You now have to drag the snowball from inventory and then click on the snowman with the snowball. The game tells you to select the snowball and drag it out of the inventory with your Enter key. However, you can also do this with your Left mouse button, which I personally find easier.
So select, Left click, the snowball and then hold down your left mouse button. Then drag the snowball from inventory to the snowman and then release your mouse button and ...
...... Tove throws the snowball against the snowman and as a result the 2 black ravens fly away and Lars appears,
NB: Right click also closes the inventory
The game will now tell you how to open Tove's journal by hitting your J key
So hit your J-key to open the journal, you can do this anytime in the game. The journal has several Tabs. such as Map, Notes, Loot and Badges. I assume that you can figure out how the journal works because you can read that at the bottom of every page. I shall only explain the various tabs.
In Notes, Tove keeps writing down her new experiences and encounters, so you can always read that in Notes, per chapter
In Map you will find the maps of the area where Tove is located. Now Map only contains the map of Chapter 1, so of the lake and surroundings. The lake is now selected because that's where we are now. The question marks are the other locations around the lake that we still have to go to.
Badges store the Badges that you can "earn" in-game. There are 32 Badges to earn. These Badges are the STEAM Achievements and you earn them by doing certain things in the game. Even if you don't buy and play the game on STEAM, you will earn these Badges, as long as you do the things you need to do to score such a Badge. The game will tell you when you have scored a Badge
In Loot, Tove keeps all items that are not essential to successfully complete the game. These are items that are hidden throughout the game and are often very small and difficult to find. They often don't light up when you press the F-key, but you do get the eye icon and the Pick up icon. Pick up such a Loot item via your Enter Key or your Left Mouse Button.
There are 48 Loot items to score in the game but I can't promise you that I will find them all because I'm not going to do my upmost best to find those itema
It is not necessary to score all Badges and all Loot items to successfully complete the game and the game only has 1 ending
In the meantime, little lars has run to the bridge, so people Lars to the bridge. A short conversation follows between Lars and Tove
Lars then runs on and Tove follows and we now end up at the house of Tove and Lars.
B: Home:
Outside:
Lars is crying in the snowy front yard of the house because his teddy bear has fallen to the ground
Walk to Lars and then pick up Mr. Jotün, the teddy bear, with your Enter key or with your left mouse button
The teddy bear ends up in the backpack and the game tells you how to take a closer look at an item in inventory. You can also do this with your left mouse button instead of your Enter key. Select the teddy bear and press Enter or your left mouse button and ...... Tove tells that the teddy is missing an eye and that is why Lars is crying so much
Lars has no intention of moving until his Teddy is repaired.
To the left of the house stand Pappa Hendrik's car and behind the car is a cupboard with 2 drawers on the side porch
Walk to the car and then up the veranda and then walk to the cupboard.
The cabinet has 2 drawers. You can open both drawers but Tove doesn't find anything in the right drawer. So open the left drawer and .......
... in the left drawer Tove finds a tube of glue
Combine the glue tube with the teddy bear in inventory to stick the eye back on the teddy.
... by repairing the Teddy Bear you have now earned your very first Badge and the game will tell you this
Walk back to Lars. Drag the repaired Teddy Bear from inventory to Lars and then release your mouse button or Shift Key to return the teddy to Lars
Lars is happy and immediately runs into the house. So follow Lars inside through the open front door.
Inside the house:
Prepare diner
NB: You now know how things work in this game so I will not explain this in detail anymore
Papa Hendrik is sleeping in his rocking chair by the fireplace. This is how Hendrik has been spending his days since his wife died during the birth of Lars. Lars threatens to pierce Tove with his bow and arrow. Tove doesn't have time to play with little Lars because it's dinner time and she has to prepare something to eat. Walk into the kitchen .....
A frying pan hangs to the right of the stove. There is a mouse hole in the wall under the frying pan.
Tove can't take the frying pan yet. First look at that mouse hole with your eye.
After Tove has looked at the mouse hole, she can take the frying pan. So get the frying pan.
There is a white bowl on the cupboard under the window. Take the white bowl.
Continue to the refrigerator. Open the refrigerator and then take out the box with eggs.
Combine the eggs with the bowl in inventory to put the eggs in the bowl to have whisked eggs
Walk to Lars and stand behind him Lars has dropped teddy Mr. Jotün again. Pick up the teddy again
You can try to give teddy back to Lars but he doesn't want it now
Walk back to the stove . Drag the frying pan from inventory to the stove and then release your left mouse button or Enter key.
Tove puts the frying pan on the stove and the thing gets hot right away. So now drag the bowl with whisked eggs to the frying pan and ...
....... the omelette is baked and Tove calls Lars and .....
........ we sit down at the table to eat eggs again, reluctantly.
When the eggs are eaten, Tove screams that is is bed time for Lars
Before Tove also goes upstairs, she wants to make sure that Daddy Hendrik does not get cold in his rocking chair.
There is firewood to the right of the heater. Pick up a block of firewood and then stand in front of the heater.
Drag the block of firewood from the inventory to the heater and ... Tove throws the block into the heater to light up the fire again.
Walk to the ladder and make sure you get the up arrow. Then left click and ........
Hey .... Hendrik wakes up for a moment and inquires whether his daughter has made the "dinner".
Hendrik dozes off again. Click the up arrow on the ladder again and now Tove also climbs up to the attic bedroom
Lars is already in his pajamas and is diligently using his bed as a trampoline.
There is a suitcase in front of Tove's bed and a red book is on the suitcase. Pick up that red book that's on the suitcase
Walk to the window and close the curtains because otherwise Lars will not want to go to sleep.
When Tove has closed the curtains, click on Lars to say it's time to sleep. However, Lars wants to have his teddy bear so now give the teddy bear back to Lars.
Talk to Lars again but he still doesn't want to sleep ... he first wants to hear a story.
So drag the red book from inventory to Lars and click the book on Lars and ...
The game will then continue by itself for a while
Tove sits down and reads from the book she just took from the suitcase. Tove reads the story of Jötnar and the Baby ....
Listen and watch the story about Jötnar and the Baby ..... Tove doesn't know it yet but this story will soon become reality for Tove and Lars ....
...... while reading Tove fell asleep and then suddenly little Lars screams that he needs to wee
Tove wakes up from the screams of Lars and she orders him to get dressed because the toilet is outside in the Outhouse.
Lars is not allowed to take anything else. Lars gets dressed and goes downstairs. Walk to the left, to the ladder. Do not descend yet, but stand on the ledge, to the right of the ladder. There is a Loot Item on the transverse support beam. Make sure you get the grab hand and then click to take this first Loot Item. Tove says she will add it to her Loot collection
So press the J key to open the diary and scroll to the Loot section and see .....
.......you have scored your first Loot item, at least the first loot item that I have found
Exit the journal and get the down arrow on the ladder now and then go down to the living room
Once downstairs, Tove notices that the fire in the heater is almost out again
So go pick up another block of firewood and ....
...... throw the log into the heater again to make the fire high again. Hendrik doesn't even wake up ....
Walk to the right where Lars is already impatiently waiting for you at the front door. So go outside
Tove and Lars end up outside on the veranda. Tove is amazed at all the ravens out here now.
The game will then show you an overview of the area in front of the house. You see the Outhouse and you see the well. Behind the well are a handful of pebbles. You also see that there are a lot of ravens. The ravens are on the roof of the house and the outhouse and on the well, but there are also 3 groups of ravens on the path to the out house. Although Lars urgently needs to pee, he doesn't want to go to the outhouse because of the ravens that are on the path.
Tove has to chase away those 3 groups of ravens that are on the path. But first move Tove to the left across the veranda.
You can pick up your 2nd Loot Item at the left window, so do that. It's a dried moth
Walk back to the front door and then walk down the veranda and now first chase away those 3 groups of ravens that are on the path to the outhouse.
You do this by just running into the ravens.
When Tove has chased the 3 groups of ravens, she screams at Lars that the coast is clear and .....
..... Lars then runs to the outhouse but then refuses to enter because of the ravens that sit on the roof of the outhouse
.... Run to the well and then pick up the pebbels that are behind the well in the snow.
Run back to the outhouse and then drag the stone from inventory to the ravens that are on the roof of the outhouse and .......
.... Tove throws the stones at the ravens and they fly away and ......
...... you have earned your 2nd Badge and Lars is now going to pee for a while. While Lars is peeing we hear some thunder and Lars thinks the monsters are coming. After some reassuring words from Tove, Lars enters the house again. So follow Lars back inside and we will automatically end up in the attic
... Tove tells Lars that we are safe but that turns out to be a premature conclusion because .......
.... a huge claw breaks in through the window ... the claw scans the floor ..... Claw is clearly looking for something ..... Tove has to do something and quickly ....
..... a shard of glass from the broken window is on the floor in front of Tove. Pick up the shard and then ram the shard in the claw and .....
..... well ..... the claw did not like that ....... Tove and Lars have to flee the house quickly but first they have to get back downstairs. The ladder is gone, so we can no longer go down the ladder. Just before Tove there is another support beam on the floor. Look at that support beam ..... Tove thinks that they can climb down via that beam, but for that she needs a "rope".
Tove needs a few things that she can tie together into a "rope". There's a cloth on Tove's bed. Get that cloth.
On the wall, to the left of the now broken window, hangs a red / white striped scarf. Get the scarf
There is also a cloth on Lars's bed. Take that cloth too
Combine the scarf in inventory with 1 of the 2 cloths and then combine that whole with the other cloth and Tove then has a long "rope"
Use your "Rope" on the upright support beam and ........
........ Lars and Tove slide down the "rope" to daddy Hendrik
... However, the monster is not done with Tove and Lars yet because it is now ramming its huge claw through the wall.
Tove must quickly come up with something to hurt the monster again. At Tove is a white cloth on the floor. Pick up the white cloth.
Daddy Hendrik has his almost empty bottle of whiskey. Pick up the bottle.
Combine the cloth with the bottle in inventory and Tove has a Molotov cocktail
Use the Molotov cocktail bottle on the heater to light the thing and .......
......... drag the now burning bottle to the Claw and let go and see what happens .......
....... Tove throws the burning bottle at the claw and ........
........ well .... it seemed a good plan but it turned out a bit wrong for the Hendriks family because ...... The monster does catch fire but it is now also demolishing the house and ...... daddy is buried under the burning rubble. Tove cannot save her dad but he says that she and Lars have to flee to the basement and we do this.
In the basement Lars screams that he is afraid of the dark and so Tove turns on the basement light but .......
...... the light attracts the attention of the monster who promptly rams his huge claw into the basement
..... the claw gropes around in the twilight for a moment but does not find Tove and Lars and so the Claw suddenly withdraws. Lars and Tove then walk to the left. Lars goes to admire his toy robot and Tove sees a sled hanging and she screams that the sled is the way to escape from the now burning house. But the sled is too high for Tove, so how does she get that sled down?
Take a closer look at Lars' toy robot. There's a battery in the robot, but Tove can't open the thing
Behind Tove and Lars are big boxes. Walk to those boxes and get the grab hand on the back box.
Then left click and ...... Tove takes a chisel from the big box.
There is a chest of drawers against the back wall. You can open the drawers of that chest of drawers but Tove won't find anything in it. There are boxes against the stairs. Stand by those boxes and make sure you get the grab hand and then left click and .... ...Tove finds her school report on those boxes and this is another Loot Item that Tove stores in the Loot section of her diary
Walk to the right side of the basement. Tove finds a flashlight on the box in the middle. Get the Flashlight ..... there are no batteries in it
On the right wall is a bookcase and a chest of drawers. The top drawer of the chest of drawers is empty, so you might as well leave that drawer closed
The bottom drawer of the chest of drawers gets stuck and so Tove cannot open this drawer ... she needs help to open the bottom drawer
Drag the Chisel to the bottom drawer and .....
After some prying with the chisel, the drawer slides open and Tove finds a screwdriver in the drawer.
... Take a battery from the bookcase .....
In the foreground stand a table lamp ..... bearing in mind what happened when Tove switched on the basement lamp, you now turn on the table lamp and ..... The monster's claw rams through the floor because the monster is apparently attracted through the light and this gives Tove an idea of how to get the sledge down
Go back to the toy robot and now pry out the battery using the screwdriver.
In inventory you put both batteries in the flashlight
Stand at the sledge and drag the flashlight from inventory to the sledge and see what happens ...
... Tove shines with the flashlight on the sledge ...... Monster sees the light and rams his claw through the floor again and the sledge falls down
... Look at the sledge and ..........
....... we escape from the house and ....... we then sled down the snowy slope into the dark forest. The monster, this is Röki, roars with frustration about the escape.
.... faster and faster Tove and Lars slide down on the sledge and all the way down we see how their house is now finally set on fire ...... Will papa Hendrik survived?
.... You have earned another Badge .....
Through the Dark Forrest
Tove and Lars have ended up in the dark forest.
Now move Tove a number of screens to the left until she says she cannot go any further and then she notices that Lars is suddenly no longer following her.
Then walk back one screen to the right and ......... we then see Lars standing on a rock and ...... the monster Röki appears and .......
...... Röki now grabs Lars and disappears ......
Tove now has to look for her brother Lars in this dark forest and it is a bit of a maze. Start by going one screen to the right and then up one screen
On the next screen you walk to the left and ..... Tove will see giant footprints in the snow. Check out those footprints ...
Tove thinks she is on the right track so continue to the left and ....... Tove then comes to the terrible Snowman, but it turns out to be a statue.
.... You can go further to the left here, but you can also go up to the left and right of the statue. First go one screen to the left and ...... o ..... a Dead end.
... Go back right to the statue and now go up a screen on the left side of the statue and .......
Tove will automatically return to the statue via the right side of your screen
Now go up one screen on the right side of the statue and ...
.... Tove will automatically return to the statue via the left side of your screen, but now she says that there really must be another path
So go another screen to the left, to the dead end and ....... now you see glittering stones in the snow.
Go see those stones and .... They are marbles and Lars has scattered them here as a clue for Tove
..... Tove now finds the passage and she ends up on the next screen where she again sees 3 marbles of Lars glittering in the snow
You now have to look for the next marbles that Lars has left behind because the marbles show Tove the way. However, the marbles are under the snow or under branches, so you now need to find every spot on each screen that you get the eye icon on. Then click and Tove will tell you if there are marbles or something else.
....... you will not find marbles in a few places at first, but eventually you will find the next 3 marbles at the top right.
Look at the marbles and then go up there to the next screen
..... again Tove finds 3 marbles but again the track ends
Again you have to find all the places where you get the eye cursor and you have to click again on all those places.
Tove does not find any marbles under the branch and at the 2 ravens
From where the 2 ravens were you walk down and you will see a lighter snow spot where you get an eye on. Click there and .....
Tove digs in the snow with her hands and discovers some ..... red berries.
Walk back up to the place where the 2 ravens were and then to the left and ..... above the place where the branch was, you will now see a lighter snow spot.
Click and ..... Tove has found the following 3 marbles from Lars
Go through the trees to the next screen and ....... We then hear Lars calling for help and we see the next 3 marbles in the snow.
Walk to the right and ..... at the cracked tree trunk Tove discovers footprints again and she thinks she is on the right track
So go from the broken tree a screen to the right and then walk further and then up and .......
.... at the 2 trees that form an arch you will see a lighter snow spot ... walk towards it and ....
... Click the eye on that spot and ..... Tove finds 3 marbles from Lars again... Now walk up through the trees and ........
Tove ends up in a clearing of the forest, by the lake and ..... a teleport portal appears and Lars appears from the teleporter but .....
Röki's huge claw grabs Lars again and pulls him back into the teleporter and .......
... Tove runs to the sphere and she disappears in it and .......
A Flash follows and then we end up in ......
