Oknytt
Platform: Windows
Oknytt from Nemoria Entertainment is a old school-styled adventure game steeped in Swedish folklore. You play as a small unnamed creature who wakes to find itself inhabiting an unfamiliar world. By helping it solve a few puzzles and explore its surroundings, you and the small creature will slowly gain an understanding of its place in life. It's a beautiful, touching tale that's told at a gentle pace by a narrator who will make you feel like you're listening to a story sitting around the campfire with nowhere to go and nothing to do but become entranced.
Click anywhere on the screen to move the small creature around. If something of interest catches your eye, click and hold to bring up a menu with three options: talk, interact, and lore. The former two do precisely what you would expect, while the latter serves as Oknytt's version of "look", adding a small piece of lore to the in-game journal. If you're in a hurry you can double click exit points to move there without waiting on the small creature's gentle lumbering gait to carry it to the other side of the screen. To work with inventory items, simply click on the crate in the corner of the screen (or right click anywhere else).
At the bottom of the screen are four runes, each representing a different element. Click on a rune to activate its power. If there's something on the screen that can be affected by these elements, you'll notice things change right away. The runes are incorporated into a few of the game's puzzles in some slightly unexpected (but still logical) ways. So, for example, if you see hot coals that just won't light, it's a fairly safe bet that activating the fire rune will get the job done. If you're ever stuck, think about the runes and how they might help!
Analysis: It's easy to understand what kind of game Oknytt is — a retro-style adventure. Understanding what makes it special is a different story. The game is heavily focused on its characters and environments, not so much puzzles or creative gameplay. It's like a playable piece of folklore, complete with mischievous miscreants, quietly observant beings, and benevolent magical spirits. Centering the story on a strange creature who knows nothing of the world it inhabits makes you immediately feel for its simple plight. Each puzzle you solve pushes you both in the direction of discovery.
Artwork, story and setting aside, Oknytt sticks pretty close to the basic adventure gaming formula. Puzzles are largely inventory based and require you to do a lot of walking and a bit of trial and error. The elemental runes add a nice sort of twist, but they aren't as extensively used as they could have been, making them secondary puzzle pieces at best. It's just as well, though, as the interface does have some speed issues, and using the runes takes a few moments for the game to stop and think.
Oknytt is an enchanting and very lovable game. It tells a good story and incorporates unique pieces of folklore that bring simple characters and situations to life. If you don't mind a slow paced adventure and are ready to settle in and absorb a game's environment, Oknytt will keep you happy all evening long.

Press three tablets to highlight them in the correct order. Use the clues from the Vitorm's riddle to determine the tablets.
The first tablet, Ocean, has already been lit for you. This corresponds to the first line of the poem, "I am reborn amongst my siblings, together we are one."
The riddle refers to the stages of the water cycle. The ocean is the fist stage, when the water is "one".
The next stage is described in the second line of the poem, "As I rise, I can see all of them look up at me in my new found form."
This line refers to water rising as steam.
Select the Steam Tablet by activating the Water Rune and the Fire Rune.

Lubricate the Lever to the left of the gate with the URN OF OIL.
Now that everything has been prepared, pull the Lever to start the puzzle.
When the Lever is pulled, listen to the sound made by each of the four faces on the copper gate.
The goal of this puzzle is to arrange the chains so that each face makes the sound that matches its element, indicated by the color of its eyes.
The position of the chain determines what sound and color the face above it will make when you pull the Lever.
If the chain is down in the lowest 4th position with all the links showing, the face will make the sound of Fire and glow orange.
If the chain is in the next highest 3rd position, it will make the sound of Earth and glow green.
If the chain is in the next highest 2nd position, it will make the sound of Water and glow blue.
If the chain is in the highest 1st position, it will make the sound of Air and glow white.
With that in mind, you now know what position each chain must be in to match the face above it:
The first face on the left, Earth, must have a chain in the 3rd position.
The next face, Fire, must have a chain in the lowest 4th position.
The third face, Air, must have a chain in the highest 1st position.
The last face, Water, must have a chain in the 2nd position.
Refer to the spoiler below for the step-by-step solution:
First click the right chain under the blue Water face two times.
Next, click the left chain under the green Earth face one time.
Lastly, pull the Lever to complete the puzzle.
Once the puzzle is solved, the creature will enter the cave past the opened Copper Gate.

Examine the Casket under Bergakungen's foot. It needs a key to open and to the left of the lock you'll see three markings: the first on the left is a medium line, the middle is a long line, and the last is a short line.
Combine the BONE SHARDS with the BONE PIPE in the same order to make a key.
First attach the medium-sized shard to the pipe, then add the long shard, and finally the short bone shard to complete the SKELETON KEY.
Unlock the Casket with the SKELETON KEY, then take the LOCKED TOME inside.
Insert the VIBRANT JEWEL into the LOCKED TOME to complete the ANCIENT TOME.
Place the REFLECTING RING on top of the stalagmite to reflect the light from the Eye to the Slim-nosed Troll.
Go back up to the Cavern.
Cavern
When you enter the scene, you will automatically receive the ORB PIECE (1/3) from the poisoned Fat-nosed Troll.
Take the second ORB PIECE (2/3) on the ground in front of the blinded Slim-nosed Troll.
Give the ANCIENT TOME to Bergakungen to receive his ORB PIECE (3/3).
Combine all three ORB PIECES to repair the glass ORB.
Examine the four altars along the bottom of the scene.
The first altar on the left says: "On a throne of eight, the Golden Wheel governs the day."
The next altar says "As equals two walk beside one another in light, five acknowledge their place."
The third says: "Six remain shrouded, inhabiting the moonless night."
The fourth altar on the right says: "Lowliest of all remains the earth dweller, ambitions stifled by the Wheel's light."
Climb down into the Cave again.
Cave
Examine the Altar at the center of the chamber to start the puzzle.
Use the clues from the altar to arrange the tiles in the correct order.
The "Golden Wheel" that "governs the day" indicates that the yellow sun tile belongs at the top of the puzzle.
Below that, "equals two walk beside one another in light," meaning that the two green human tiles both go in the next row.
The "five" that "acknowledge their place" are the five white tiles, which can go in the middle row and the row below that in no particular order.
Lastly, the "earth dweller" is the "lowliest of all". The purple tile with the drawing of the troll must be positioned at the bottom of the puzzle.
To do this, follow the step-by-step instructions in the spoiler below:
First click the right tile in the middle row twice.
Then click the tile at the top once.
Finally, click the tile at the bottom twice to complete the puzzle.
Once the puzzle is solved, an �sksten will appear above the Altar.
Place the ORB over the �sksten.
Wait for the glow of the �lv to appear in the left hole.
Quickly use the SOIL to fill the small hole on the right and the hole in the middle of the ground.
With her other paths blocked, the �lv will find her way out of the hole and into the Cave.
Activate the Fire Rune to light the altar, then use the Air Rune to lift the �sksten upwards.
Follow the �sksten up to the Cavern.
