Over the past few months, we've talked to you more than once about the work we're putting into building the atmosphere of Among The Trolls as close as possible to our vision. And how could we do that without paying close attention to what your ears will hear while exploring the island? Music and sound effects play a key role in telling the story of every corner of the archipelago, alongside the…

Family is always a sensitive topic, but when a loved one goes missing , everything changes, leaving you with a scar too deep to ignore and a world you don’t recognize anymore. For her family, Anna leaves everything behind, bidding farewell to the life she had built for herself in America and that we had talked about in one of our first devlogs . Both her brother and Grandpa have gone missing, l…

In the stories told close to the fire, Portals have never been “convenient doors.” They are oaths of stone , carved with runes and guarded by silences as long as winters. People say the forest swallowed them, then spat them back out when someone speaks the right word. Dungeons , instead, are places that remember . Stepping inside is like putting your foot into an ancient tale… and finding out t…
" Every hunt is an ancient ritual, a step within a fragile balance. Before drawing the bow or following the tracks of a prey, one must listen to the will of the forest - and honor it. My grandfather used to say that only those who showed respect earned the grace of Mielikki, the goddess of the woods and animals.” As we prepare to open the doors to the world of Among The Trolls through the Close…

However, as we approach the end of the year, we realize we need more time to polish and refine…
" Grandfather has disappeared, and he has left me this backpack. I remember when I was a little girl: I was fascinated by it. With him we could remain away for two whole days, far from home, thanks to that backpack alone. Inside there was everything we'd need... to make a fire, to build a shelter, to cook what nature gave us...but also it held some special ingredients for those strange rituals…
The world of Among The Trolls is steeped in mystery - some gradually revealed through the story, others more deeply hidden within the forest. Uncovering them is a task for the most attentive explorers, who will slowly piece together details and tales from a distant past. A lot of the characters in Among The Trolls are based on the stories in the Kalevala , an epic poem that Elias Lönnrot put to…
“ It is said that in the waters around the islands, the Aallottaret are hiding. Water nymphs who were once women drowned, consumed by envy for the living. They grab you and drag you down without mercy. I still haven’t figured out whether they do it to keep people from reaching the islands… or to make sure they never leave. ” Over the past month, we’ve focused on bringing life (and danger) to th…
“These passages… I've never laid eyes on them. Spires of solid stone corridors, built with an architecture I don't comprehend, carved by hands that shouldn't be possible. Did my grandfather hide them from me? Etched on these walls, somehow, I recognize the ancient myths he used to speak. Who built this place - and where does it go? Perhaps the crow knows more than it's letting on. Time to get s…
