Hello, witches! 🔮 Happy 2024! We hope everyone has had a magical start to the year. We're working hard on getting REKA ready for our Early Access release later in Q2, and we wanted to give you a little sneak peak & answer some of your questions. 🎃 [h2][b]A closer look at REKA's items [/b][/h2] One of the elements we're most excited about for REKA is house-building. Building a cozy, autumnal chicken-legged cottage is something we [u]WISH[/u] we could do in real life, and we've loved creating witch-themed items to decorate your virtual space with.

Next, we'd like to answer a couple of questions we've seen come up within the community: [h2][b]Mini FAQs! [/b][/h2] [b][h3]Will REKA have combat?[/h3][/b] 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! [b][h3]How will witchcraft work?[/h3][/b] 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! [b][h3]What is cooking used for in-game?[/h3][/b] 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.
