LONDON, UK – August 13, 2024 – Fireshine Games and Emberstorm Entertainment are thrilled to announce that the eagerly anticipated witchcraft adventure REKA will launch on Steam Early Access on September 12th, 2024.
 

Fireshine Games is also delighted to announce that award-winning writer Rhianna Pratchett is collaborating with Emberstorm Entertainment as the game’s Lead Writer, lending her talent of storytelling to enrich REKA’s magical tale and tell an unforgettable story of witchcraft and wonder.
 

REKA’s adventure begins on September 12th, when players can experience the game’s opening chapters and discover their newfound powers of witchcraft to set out on an unforgettable journey with their walking, chicken-legged cottage companion. Additional content and story updates will be introduced throughout the game’s time in Early Access.

Immerse yourself in a cozy cottage-building adventure as a slavic witch travelling the countryside with their walking home.

Discover animals, spirits and secrets, and take control of your walking home on a journey across an enchanting wilderness. Form an unbreakable bond with your chicken-legged house as you explore mystical forests, swamps and villages together, meeting townsfolk, foraging for ingredients and harnessing the power of nature to become a powerful wielder of magic.
