Roki, the visually striking adventure game in which a young girl named Tove ventures deep into a forbidden woods filled with magic, monsters, and wonder, made a welcome return during Saturday's Guerrilla Collective event. The game's latest trailer teased the game's gorgeous visuals, as well as some of the creatures that await the player. Roki is now confirmed for a July 23 release on PC.
The adventure game is deeply inspired by Scandinavian folklore, which is very evident in the trailer. It's as if a young girl stepped out of her home and her imagination filled the forest in her back yard with the creatures she'd heard about in stories. These monsters shouldn't exist, but they do.
Today's trailer reveal may be the first chance many game fans' get to see Roki. However, developer Polygon Treehouse has been showing Roki for some time. It was announced in 2017 and Polygon Treehouse have been releasing screenshots and development teasers month to month ever since. A more formal announcement was made during E3 2019, and now Polygon Treehouse is nearing Roki's launch.
In case indie game fans want to try out Roki for themselves before they buy, Polygon Treehouse has confirmed Roki will be a part of this summer's Steam Game Festival. The Steam Game festival starts on June 16 and will last through June 22. It'll feature demos from dozens of different games, Roki included.
Roki releases on PC on July 23.
