    There are some things that did frustrate us, but its universe, story and concept are so unique that we couldn't stop playing.

    A charming yet unassuming adventure through the pantheon of Swedish folklore, Oknytt is good enough to warrant your attention, though it won’t blow you away.

    Oknytt is a game that manages to capture well the feeling of a classic Nordic fairy tale. It creates an atmosphere that almost feels like walking around in a John Bauer painting. Too bad the puzzles is somewhat unimaginative even though the system with the four elements is rather interesting. Oknytt is worth playing for fans of the adventure genre even if it’s nothing extraordinary.

    There's nothing to criticize in terms of Oknytt's visual and sound qualities. However, problems reveal themselves while playing the game. Its puzzles are far too simple, and its rune system is downright dull. Both adventure game fans and Norse mythology lovers will scrape out some fun from Oknytt, but for the rest of you there's just a good-looking and good-sounding drag.

    A true work of art.
    Backgrounds and characters are beautifully hand painted. The art style is very unique: it's dark without being    A true work of art.
    Backgrounds and characters are beautifully hand painted. The art style is very unique: it's dark without being depressing. A deep sense of myth and mystery floats in every screen of the game. Every tiny light seems so bright and comforting!

    Wandering in the never-ending night, the player meets various creatures from the Swedish folklore.
    They can be funny, touching, reassuring or frightening.
    Their voices are all acted by one man: Brian Hall who offers a strong and beautiful performance.

    Playing Oknytt is an unparalleled & engrossing travel to an unknown world.    … Full Review »
