Roia Is the Latest Tranquil Mobile Game from Award-Winning Indie Studio Emoak

Mobile gaming's innovative spirit is truly remarkable, and Roia perfectly exemplifies this. The unique design of smartphones, coupled with their widespread use, has pushed video game development in exciting new directions.

Roia, a cleverly designed puzzle-adventure game from Emoak (creators of Paper Climb, Machinaero, and the award-winning Lyxo), is a prime example.

Emoak's press release reveals the deeply personal connection Roia holds for designer Tobias Sturn. His childhood memories of playing in a creek with his grandfather heavily influenced the game's creation. The game is dedicated to his grandfather, who passed away during its development.

Roia defies easy categorization. While challenges exist, the core experience is one of relaxation and exploration. Players journey through diverse, handcrafted environments—forests, meadows, villages—guided by a helpful white bird.

Visually, Roia shares the elegant minimalism of Monument Valley. The game also boasts a captivating soundtrack composed by Johannes Johannson, who also worked on Emoak's Lyxo.

Roia is available now on the Google Play Store and App Store for $2.99.
