Hi everyone!
If you follow our social media then you know exactly who brought life to Tove. BUT if you somehow missed it, let us introduce you to the great actress - Ingvild Deila.
Tove is the game’s emotional core and central to Röki’s story, and we knew it was going to be very challenging for us to find the right person for a role that was so central to our game. It was important that we cast a Scandinavian actress with great emotion range, who could be quite subtle and understated but still connect and convey emotion to the player.
We knew this was quite a big ask.
It was a very big deal for us and we didn’t want to get this wrong. We put such importance on the casting of Tove that we concentrated all our casting efforts around her character, knowing that she would be the linchpin around which all other casting decisions would be made.
Introducing Ingvild
Finally the role of Tove in Röki has been taken by Ingvild Deila.
She is a multi-talented Norwegian actress, singer, writer and philomath who played Princess Leia in Rogue One as well as having a small role in Avengers: Age of Ultron. She also has played the female lead in the following feature films: Hippopotamus (2016 dir. Ed Palmer), Escape from Brazil (dir. Bruno Decc 2018), Out-of-Place Artefact (dir. Bruno Decc 2019) and Baumbacher Syndrome (dir. Gregory Kirchhoff 2019) where she played opposite Tobias Moretti.

Impact
The remote Röki recording session with Ingvild was a lot of fun and very exciting. Throughout the session we were all hit by what a big difference this was going to make and taken aback by Ingvild’s performance as we were hearing Tove come to life for the first time.
Great job Ingvild!
As we said at the start of this post, casting Tove was always going to be a difficult task for us, and one that we were quite nervous about. The outcome has been more than we could have hoped for.
Please, big applause for Ingvild and her contribution to Röki!
Until next time,
Alex & Tom
