REKA is an open-world game that sets the player loose to explore a world rich with wildlife, magic, and a live, walking castle seemingly ripped straight out of Studio Ghibli’s masterpiece Howl’s Moving Castle.
Live life as a witch, where you’ll scavenge for ingredients to brew potions, cast spells, and complete a variety of tasks and quests, all while building out your mobile home — and by mobile, we mean literally staggering around the world all on its own, propped up by four comically small legs arrayed in a four-corner table formation.
Published by Fireshine Games and developed by Emberstorm Entertainment, REKA has already been available for early access on Steam and will hit full release on August 18th. Initial review scores for the pre-launch version have been very positive to this point.
Here’s a description of the game’s features from the developer, plus a trailer:
