Roc - Gameplay Demo
A downloadable game game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
A pair of harpies wake up without their memory atop a ruined, ancient floating island. A curious rabbit kidnaps Cicci, speaking of a mysterious "Affie" who threatens to "change" the world below. With Cicci kidnapped, Roc must enter the island and stop Affie; through uncovering the mysteries of the past and gathering increased flight and elemental powers, Roc is in for an unforgettable adventure in this story-driven action-adventure game!
Explore caverns, villages and much more, unlock more and more jumps, find forgotten memories and master the elements as you traverse this floating island. In a living world full of unique individuals, Roc must rise above the trials set before him to uncover the past and save his friends – and by extension, the world.
The demo contains a decent amount of game-play (around 30 minutes worth), showcasing the first few areas, the story's introduction and the first real boss of the game. This is supposed to give an idea of the general game-play loop. We are working very hard every day to make sure we get to add as much content as possible!
About us: We are Game Games, a group of people (soon to be company/official studio) based in Skövde, Sweden who make indie games set in an expansive and living fantasy world. We currently consist of an artist, a programmer, and a game director (who is also our designer, writer and more).
We do not yet earn money making games, but hope that people enjoy what we do enough to eventually get some kind of funding via pitching to publishers! Making games and giving people the chance to live out digital adventures is our passion, and we hope our project catches your attention.
We will continue to update this page at certain points in development, when we have enough new content to warrant it. Your feedback means the world to us - please do leave some! Thank you for checking out our project!

A really nice game, this need much more like.. (more enemies, an origin of the characters, replace the black color of the forest by other more beaty, and the sprite of Affie need something else) and make the story not to much dramatic and fast. In my opinions, it`s going pretty well
Nice little demo. Reminicent of Cave Story too. Charecters seem intresting, despite how little they show up, and the mechanics seem intresting too. Would have been nice to have a proper boss fight in the demo though
Thank you!
We're working on adding more game, and we will update the demo here when it's ready. It's going to end with a for-real boss fight, so stay tuned! Follow us on twitter for more dev-updates, like whenever we meet smaller milestones on our way (as well as estimates on when it'll be done!)
Made a video
Oh man! This is awesome!
It's so fun to see you play through it! We're happy you enjoyed it and we're working on adding more game as we speak!
We've uploaded an update since you posted the video, where we fixed some bugs as well as fixing the social media tags that were wrong. Thank you again for playing and making this video, it's awesome!

Happy to hear that you enjoyed the video and that there is more content being made. Would love to play it again when you have more levels because it was a really good demo that made us want to play for even longer.
Absolutely loved this. This alpha version certainly gives a great insight into how the game will continue as it progresses through the development. I'm certainly getting Cave Story vibes from this which I find really cool. The in-game cutscenes are cute too. Looking forward to trying this again as it updates.
Thank you so much! We're stoked to hear you enjoyed it!!! We are sure to update when possible and hopefully you will like what's to come as much as this! Make sure to follow our social media account @GameGamesIE on twitter and @potats_tomats (GD's twitter) for updates on development! :)
I also realized I wrote the wrong twitter tag for the GD's twitter in the credits oops
