– 2 min read
Berlin-based Emberstorm Entertainment and publisher Fireshine Games will launch the witchcraft adventure game Reka in Early Access on 12 September. Rhianna Pratchett has been announced as Lead Writer.
On 12 September, the witchcraft adventure Reka will go into Early Access. It is the debut title of Berlin-based indie game studio Emberstorm Entertainment. The studio was founded in 2020. Eight employees are working on the title. "With Berlin being located in previously Slavic territory, we decided to make our debut title REKA, a game that incorporates Slavic culture and mythology," the team said.
When Reka launches in Early Access, players will be able to experience the game's opening chapters, discover their newfound powers of witchcraft, and embark on a journey with their walking, chicken-legged cottage companion. Additional content and story updates will be introduced throughout Early Access.
Writer Rhianna Pratchett (Overlord, Rise of the Tomb Raider) is working with Emberstorm Entertainment as the game's Lead Writer to enrich Reka's tale of witchcraft and wonder. "I've never been one to shy away from embracing the weird and wonderful, so helping craft the narrative of Reka with Emberstorm and Fireshine has been an absolute delight," said Rhianna Pratchett, Lead Writer of Reka.
"With her marvellous writing style and incredible experience in storytelling, Rhianna has been tremendous at helping us bring the world of Reka to life and deliver an adventure that we can't wait for players to experience," added Jesco von Puttkamer, Lead Narrative Designer at Emberstorm Entertainment. "Working with Rhianna has been a joy and a privilege, and we are so excited to have her ongoing support to help us enrich the game's narrative even further throughout Early Access."
Reka is further explained as follows: "Immerse yourself in a cozy cottage-building adventure as a slavic witch travelling the countryside with their walking home. Build, customise and expand your cottage over the course of your adventure, designing and decorating your walking home with complete creative freedom, while taking on quests to unlock new furniture, decorations and keepsakes in an atmospheric third-person exploration and house-building adventure. 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."
