As the cool glint of autumn falls upon the woodland, an ancient magic stirs.
From them, a life is born anew as well as my brand new house.
Reka is a cozy game made for those who wouldn’t usually call themselves cozy gamers.
A real Reka-ning
The first thing I notice about Reka is how absolutely breathtaking it looks.
An old woman lives nearby, all alone in a shack.
Others take pity on her, chiding their fellow villagers for spreading falsehoods about witches.
After all, Reka is told: they do know darkness, but they also know light.
The old woman greets me with exasperation, as if I have been keeping her waiting.
Immediately, I am put to task: gather mushrooms and honeycomb with haste.
An important ritual is about to commence, and she will not stand for any more tardiness.
The ritual itself is a prime example of the sensitivity and reverence that Emberstorm has for Baba’s story.
This fairytale introduction gives way to the base-building elements of Reka.
Luckily, I have plenty of both and set off with Baba Jaga down the river.
Reka is out now in Early Access on PC.
