"Reka" version 1.0 was released on Steam on October 26, with official Simplified Chinese support added simultaneously. As of November 4, the game's overall rating and recent 30-day rating on Steam are both "Very Positive," with approval rates of 83% and 87% respectively.
This is a single-player adventure game blending exploration, building, and crafting gameplay. Players take on the role of Reka, a witch's apprentice, learning witchcraft under the guidance of the legendary witch Baba Yaga, personally building and decorating their own chicken-legged hut, then taking their home into the forest to gather materials, befriend animals, and respond to villagers' requests.
In post-launch recommended reviews, the fun of freely building a chicken-legged hut has been praised. Players can first construct the house structure, then place tables, chairs, lamps, and decorations, arranging items collected during their journey at home. Exploring outdoors to find materials, returning to the hut to adjust furnishings, and then continuing the journey with your home connects building and adventure.
The autumn forest's atmosphere and story have also received positive reviews. The art and music create a distinct folkloric ambiance for this adventure, while the quests and encounters during exploration bring warmth: helping villagers in need, searching for lost animals, and gradually learning about the life and legends of this land.
Version 1.0 brings the final chapter to Reka's apprenticeship journey. Players can read character dialogues and quest content in Chinese, experiencing this complete adventure.
Player feedback also includes comments on repetitive quests, control feel, and performance. The development team has continued to release updates after the official launch, fixing and optimizing issues related to save loading, memory usage, and some display problems, and adding options to let the hut stay stationary or roam freely.
This title is developed by Emberstorm Entertainment and published jointly by Fireshine Games and Asian publisher Songzhu Games.
