Evaluation

Aka launched on December 14, 2022 as a fully featured release with multiple islands, quests, and characters. In the weeks and months following launch, the developer (Cosmo Gatto) shipped a series of quality-of-life patches and bug fixes — on December 21, 2022, December 24, 2022, January 7, 2023, January 10, 2023, and March 17, 2023 — addressing inventory issues, controls, quest progression, and gameplay polish. A March 2023 patch added meaningful quality-of-life features like multiple save slots. After March 2023, developer communication slowed considerably. The most recent update on record is a bug fix patch from December 20, 2024, which fixed a Japanese translation issue and a gamepad inventory bug on Palm Island. This appears to be straightforward maintenance with no new content announced. The game has only one DLC — a soundtrack pack released January 5, 2023 — and no unreleased DLC is listed on the store. The developer has never announced a roadmap, expansion, season pass, or future content plans. Across 18 total news posts, only one qualifies as a major content release (the launch itself), and the post-launch update history consists entirely of patches and fixes rather than content expansions. There is no sustained cadence of major content updates and no outstanding commitments from the developer. Aka launched as a complete, self-contained game and has received only maintenance support since early 2023.

About this game

Gardening

The farming system is inspired by permaculture, where associations (garden design) and wild animals play a role.

Construction

It is possible to craft shelter, tools, clothes, or various props. It can help solve quests or just be for a decorative purpose. You will need to gather materials, find objects or win them while doing quests.


Relaxation

Relaxing in hot springs with monkeys, watching clouds while listening to the ocean waves, or taking a nap on a giant Capybara...

Narrative quests

Aka isn't a linear game. Meet various characters of all kinds: villagers willing to help, trapped animals, giant monsters, or ghosts from your past who need your help to be freed.
