    Great and atmospheric game with a hint of creepy and good humour, this fairytale will not disappoint you, despite the eventual annoyance of getting stuck on a certain puzzle for missing a small detail or two.
    The artwork and story is excellent and captivating.

    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,    A true work of art.

    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.

    While this is not the best adventure game. Oknytt is a very good one. The Nordic folklore creates a very unique atmosphere in the game. The puzzles aren't too complicated and sometimes even too easy, but in general the game play is quite solid and the story is interesting to follow.

    A very atmospheric adventure game in an interesting setting with a touching story, nice soundtrack and gloomy art style. Based on Swedish mythology and folklore this mysterious game will likely catch you if you like interesting adventure or just unusual games.

    It's amazing, like a 2D game can be transmitted without being a AAA game so much.

    A point n' click adventure, Oknytt uses narrative patterns that fit its low budget and end up working really nicely, notably its dual storyteller/creature descriptions. Those are rather slow paced and verbose, yet I never found them either too slow or too verbose.

The game might be unimpressive at first glance, but ends up being a lovely piece of craft, with a good story, good visuals, and very good sounds. The gameplay is the very classic definition of the genre, and the game is memorable essentially for its style.

    A very good game, not achieving greatness mainly for its lack of animations and because of some pesky pixel hunting now and then.    … Expand

    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 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.
