Among the Trolls is a first-person, single-player narrative adventure with survival elements, set in the Finnish wilderness. Anna travels from the United States to visit her grandfather at a remote cabin, where she discovers he has vanished. Start by checking the active objective and journal, then explore nearby resources and read interaction or recipe prompts. Weather, wildlife, scarce supplies, and supernatural encounters all shape how you move through the archipelago.

A practical first-trip routine
Check the active objective and recently collected notes before leaving a safe area. The story connects exploration to Anna’s family mystery, so revisiting a clue can be more useful than wandering without a purpose.
Prepare for the environment
The official description calls out weather, wild animals, limited resources, and supernatural threats. Carry only what your current objective needs, and pause to understand a new threat before spending scarce supplies.
Use systems together
Väki (Magic) and Lykky (Luck) are named as forces to balance. Crafting, shelter, weapons, potions, and exploration are connected in the developers’ descriptions; inspect available recipes in-game instead of relying on an old demo list.
Prepare for the next stretch of wilderness
Before leaving a safe area, review the objective, recent notes, and recipes that match the next task. Carry the supplies you can make from those recipes rather than filling your inventory with materials at random. The official description calls out harsh weather, wild animals, limited resources, and supernatural encounters, so pause to read new environmental clues before using scarce ammunition or potions.
