REKA

REKA is a calm witch adventure in which you travel as Baba Yaga's student through landscapes inspired by Slavic folklore. A walking house on chicken legs accompanies you. Gathering, building, magic and encounters with villagers are at the heart of the game.

REKA has been available as a full PC version since Oct 26, 2026. Early Access started on Sept 12, 2024. Version 1.0 brings the story to a close and expands, among other things, the options for house building.

REKA is playable on Windows PC. Steam supports single-player and cloud saves. German menus and subtitles are available, but full German voice acting is not offered.

You explore forests, complete tasks and gather materials. Instead of combat, REKA focuses on a calm pace, your own building ideas, crafting and conversations with residents.

REKA requires at least 16 GB RAM, Windows 10 64-bit, an Intel Core i5-6400 or AMD Ryzen 5 1400, and a GeForce GTX 1060 with 6 GB or Radeon RX 580. You need 10 GB of free storage and DirectX 11.

The house on chicken legs serves as both shelter and means of transport. You can expand rooms, design additional floors and place furniture, finds and decorations as you like.

Reka learns the rules of a fairytale world from the mysterious Baba Yaga. Encounters with people, animals and old spirits guide her through a plot shaped by Slavic folk tales.

Misty forests, marshes and villages make up the travel locations. The environment is partly generated procedurally and invites you to explore new paths, plants and stories at your own pace.

Gathered herbs are used to brew potions and prepare traditional recipes. Magic is part of the young witch's daily life and changes her encounters with the people and creatures of the game world.

In nature you can meet animals and build trust with them. Some eventually accompany you home, where they become part of the witch's everyday life.

Villagers ask you for help and tell you about their worries and traditions. Quests and decisions move the story forward. The full version adds new encounters and an ending for the main story.

The Deluxe Edition on Steam includes the base game together with the separately offered soundtrack. The playable story itself is identical to the standard PC version.

REKA was developed by Emberstorm Entertainment in Berlin. Fireshine Games and Shochiku publish the game. The design draws on fairy tales and folklore from Eastern Europe.
