Heard of the Story? is all about forging your very own medieval town. With the help of your townspeople, you’ll embark on an adventure to transform a few sticks and pebbles into a beautiful, flourishing city. Or, you can sit back and watch as the townspeople live and thrive on their own!
All of the villagers in Heard of the Story? are highly intelligent AI who really feel alive and self-aware. Not only will they help you build your city into the perfect cottagecore village or bustling castle town, but you can watch as they discover their own passions, spread rumors, and even tell some interesting stories to each other. You can even form friendships with them.
In order to build up your dream city, you’ll need to cooperate with your villagers in gathering resources. Explore the mountains and forests beyond the city to find fruits and treasures, as well as other profitable items. Heard of the Story? even lets you discover and nurture your own craft! Discover new recipes through some creative genius or learn from the villagers. Specializing into a role, such as blacksmith, opens up new necessary items for you and your city. Once you’ve mastered the trade, perhaps start your own guild, too!
Heard of the Story? is coming to Steam and will be available August 17th.
The Wandering Village and Gourdlets are a couple of other great city-builders!

REKA is the perfect addition to the witchy video game genre, but even more perfect because it has that dark, mysterious atmospheric feel to it. In it, you play as an apprentice witch to the legendary Baba Yaga. You’ll venture across a mystical landscape with your chicken-legged cottage companion to develop your magic, and help, or hinder, villagers you encounter
Start your new and enchanting journey by fully customizing your character with the REKA creator tools. Then, set out to explore a land of beautiful forests, moist swamps, and spread-out villages. Gather materials and other supplies for your potions and quests as you run around this beautiful procedurally generated world. Brew medicinal potions to help heal ailing villagers, or conjure up some nasty poisons to hinder them. You’ll also encounter different wild animals that you can tame and take home with you.
When you’re not being benevolent or causing chaos, take some time to practice your magical skills in the safety of your cottage, which follows you wherever you go. Make the cottage your personal sanctuary with furniture, decorations, and new crafting stations. REKA has complete placement freedom, making decorating your home easy and perfect for unleashing your creativity.
REKA comes out sometime in 2024, with no specific release date listed. However, it’ll be coming to Steam, where you can add it to your Wishlist to keep an eye on updates.
