How REKA plays

Wander procedurally generated autumn forests, swamps, and villages, send your crows to harvest resources, and fulfill requests for locals or restless spirits. Cultivate herbs, bake traditional dishes, and craft charms to solve quests while bringing home wood, clay, blueprints, and curios to expand your chicken-legged cottage. Because map layouts shift between regions, navigate by location names and landmarks rather than fixed coordinates.

Common questions

Does REKA support multiplayer or co-op?

No. The official Steam store page lists REKA as a single-player adventure.

Why are there two release dates?

REKA launched in Steam Early Access on September 12, 2024, and reached its 1.0 full release on October 26, 2026.

Why does requesting 4 Ritual Candles calculate 6?

Ritual Candles are crafted in batches of 3, so making at least 4 requires 2 full batches. The calculator displays your actual 6-candle output and the ingredients for both batches.

Recipes & ingredient calculator

Does the calculator read my save file or deduct inventory?

No. It calculates the direct ingredients for a single recipe or building part without reading your save, subtracting owned stock, or breaking sub-ingredients like Flour down into raw Grain.
