Battle strange beasts and brave the elements to stay alive in Song in the Smoke: an expansive and mysterious VR survival game set in a world outside of time.

Song in the Smoke puts survival in your hands. Enter a dangerous world and craft weapons, make clothes, build fires, and brew potions to defend yourself against vicious predators. Block, parry, and strike back with your club, attack from distance with your bow, or use your wits to sneak past the lethal creatures that call this land their home.

The hunted also becomes the hunter. Use your senses to stalk prey in virtual reality: track their smell, follow their footprints, and plan your strike. When you’re ready, show off your skill with intuitive and responsive VR controls that let you execute the perfect shot.

Travel between wildly different environments as you follow the guidance of your ancestors, and uncover the secrets of Song in the Smoke.

“This is what Tarzan wanted to be”

(I did not receive any review keys I paid for this game with my own money and spoiler: I own this game on Q2, PCVR &PSVR!) First impression: Been playing since this morning and so far I can’t put it down! Flaws: Only thing I hate so far is the teleport climbing. I hate when games do that, it is such an immersion breaker. Hopefully they can fix that with an option for advanced VR gamers in a patch to turn off this teleport climbing other then that no complaints so far! Highlight: the crafting is so immersive! I love that mechanic, it’s like township tale on steroids Review: There comes a time in every generation when a game drops that consumes you. One game you play till you pass out wake up and play. A game when you are at school or work and all you can think about is the next stage or the plot twist. Recently I found that in 17-BIT song and the smoke. This game is Tarzan made sweet love to a township tale and this was thier baby. This is what gamers wanted them to be. Must own! -foreign swagz approved-

This game is art at its finest

First game I play on VR that gives me The experience of being else where . You can follow the story and complete the game as I already did. But there is much more than the “story”. You can also just hang out on places you like , spend some days on warm areas fishing, swimming and eating berries and mushrooms. You can enjoy the view of sunset or sunrise . Make some arrows, go to the cold and hunt bigger animals … It’s always a different situation, the animals the rain. Looking forward to more updates . I would like to see something like a super hot desert , snakes “Going back to the wilderness “ I say all the time now

I'm surprised this game isn't blowing up

We're desperately lacking long story based games on the Quest. This fills just that. I haven't played all of it yet, but reviewers are saying that it should take 15-30 hours to complete. That is a full length game and something the Quest store needs. In terms of the actual VR game aspects, it's great. I've played a few hours and the crafting and combat are both good. We need more games like this!
