The witch-themed life simulation game "Reka" is scheduled to launch version 1.0 on October 26, concluding its Early Access period that began on September 12, 2024. Players can create a witch character, customize their appearance and clothing, and embark on a journey under the guidance of Baba Yaga.
Building a home is a core aspect of the game. Players can gradually design the exterior, number of floors, and interior furnishings of their hut; this house, which stands on chicken legs, will also move along with the character.
After leaving the hut, players can explore procedurally generated forests, swamps, and villages, gather materials needed for spellcasting or cooking, interact with spirits and wildlife, and even try taming animals. Choices in quests allow players to either help or hinder the residents.
GameRant compared the character creation, home decoration, and daily activities to Disney Dreamlight Valley, noting that the folklore theme, gloomier environment, and quests dealing with serious issues evoke some of the atmosphere of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. The media also pointed out that quest design may be repetitive, and there are still some issues to be fixed during the Early Access phase.
According to Steam data cited by the media, 83% of the 1,893 user reviews at the time were positive. This data reflects the period before the 1.0 release and does not represent the actual reviews for the full version.
