FAQ
Early Access
REKA is launching into Early Access on 12th September 2024! We will be launching into 1.0 in 2025.
REKA is available on Steam.
We can’t yet give a definitive date as this will largely depend on community feedback, however REKA will be in Early Access for the remainder of 2024, with 1.0 launching in 2025.
For launch week, we’ll have a 10% discount. Normally, the price will be £15.99 / $19.99 / €19.99.
During Early Access, we’ll be adding more content to the game and overall improving the experience. Therefore, we do expect the price to increase as we go into full release. We’ll give plenty of notice when this is likely to happen.
We’re planning on releasing REKA’s prologue and chapter one for Early Access launch. For 1.0 launch, the remaining chapters and REKA’s complete story will be available!
We plan to add new areas, quests, recipes, items and more with each update. We’re aiming for these updates to bring other elements too, like new accessories for your witch, furniture and side quests! We’ll share a roadmap closer to Early Access launch which will show you the new and exciting content that’s being added to the game.
Discord is our primary area to directly talk to our community and receive feedback, so we would like to encourage everyone to share their ideas in the suggestion-cauldron channel.
We’ll also continue to monitor feedback and communicate updates directly onto our other social channels, including the Steam forums and X (Twitter).
Yes! You’ll be able to find this on our Steam page in the game description section from the 11th of September.
You’ll be able to see details of what we have planned on our roadmap diagram on Steam. We will be continuing to flesh out new features during the Early Access journey, and will be communicating this with our community. Some things you can expect include new quests, continued story, more furniture items, new features such as crafting, and of course bug fixing!
There are currently no plans to launch REKA on consoles while we focus on the early access journey of REKA. If this changes do keep an eye on our social channels for news and updates.
Technical
REKA won’t be verified for EA launch, but we are looking into Steam Deck requirements and hope to be verified within our journey into 1.0. We’d recommend playing on PC to get the full experience.
Controller is mostly supported on Steam, though we are still aware of some features that need tweaks and polishing. We’ll continue to work on this through our early access journey.
For Early Access, REKA will be playable in English, French, German, Spanish, Polish, Russian, and Ukrainian.
Progress will not carry over from the demo/playtests, so you’ll need to start from the beginning
Steam Achievements are something we’re working on, but they won’t be ready for Day 1 of Early Access. We’ll let you know when they are being added.

Gameplay
Our aim for REKA is to be a relaxing and immersive experience where players can explore a world without threat, and we feel combat would hinder this vision we have for our game. There’s plenty of other features that we’re focusing on, and we hope you’ll enjoy the calmer, more enchanting gameplay that REKA offers!
REKA won’t be multiplayer. Our witchy game offers a deep atmospheric experience with housebuilding and exploration elements. We feel this theme is best suited for solo play.
REKA is heavily inspired by traditional Slavic witchcraft. The type of witchcraft you’ll perform will be very grounded and meaningful, and influenced by nature. Think rituals, cleansing etc!
The woodlands in REKA grow many ingredients that you can forage and store in your chicken-legged cottage, like honey, berries, wheat and more. You’ll have a traditional Slavic stove where you can create recipes and cook dishes. These dishes can then be used for quests, and used as part of rituals.
Some of the outfits will be available from the beginning, but you’ll unlock more whilst progressing in the game. You can get them as a reward for solving quests, buy some from the merchant and even find them hidden in the world.
Right now we’re just focusing on one body type for the main character for the Early Access launch, but we’re always keeping an eye on requests and feedback from the community.
The name first popped up on our radar because the Spree river that runs through Berlin was often called Reka (meaning ‘river’) by the local Slavic people. We have taken on that name and included it into the story – you are basically travelling along a river network throughout the game!
