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

Jan 24,25

Mobile gaming's innovative spirit is truly inspiring, and Roia perfectly exemplifies this. This ingenious puzzle-adventure, from the indie studio Emoak (creators of Paper Climb, Machinaero, and Lyxo), takes an unexpected approach to game design.

The core concept is surprisingly simple: guide a river from mountaintop to sea. Using intuitive finger controls, players shape the landscape, directing the water's flow. Emoak reveals the game holds deep personal meaning for designer Tobias Sturn, inspired by childhood memories of creekside play with his grandfather. The game is a touching tribute to him.

Roia transcends simple categorization. While challenges exist, the game's essence is relaxation. Players journey through beautifully crafted environments – forests, meadows, villages – guided by a helpful white bird. The game's aesthetic echoes the elegant minimalism of Monument Valley, complemented by a captivating soundtrack by Johannes Johannson (also of Lyxo).

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