About Song in the Smoke
Song in the Smoke is a VR survival game where you hunt, craft, and fight your way through a dangerous timeless wilderness filled with procedurally-driven creatures and shifting environments. Intuitive motion controls let you track prey by scent and footprints, draw your bow, and engage in visceral combat as you gather resources to build shelter, weapons, and fire while unraveling a mystical narrative.
The world of Song in the Smoke holds equal parts salvation and danger. Use your senses to stalk prey: track their smell, follow their footprints, and plan your strike. When you’re ready, intuitive and responsive VR controls let you execute the perfect shot—a shot that could mean the difference between survival and death.
The game uses a number of deeply-intertwined procedural systems, making every play-through unpredictable and unique. Animals seek water and shelter, while predators hunt for prey; as day transitions into night, the environment shifts and the creatures who inhabit it change their behaviors. A mystical narrative runs throughout the player’s journey as well, putting the experience into greater, transcendental context.
Song in the Smoke is a beautiful and harrowing survival experience. How long will you last?
- Hunting: String bows to hunt your own prey, tracking their footprints and scents on the wind. Then hide among the ferns and bushes to line up the perfect shot, aiming naturally with your controllers before letting your handcrafted arrow fly. The player often takes the role of the hunted as well, requiring deft avoidance—or harrowing combat—to stay alive.
- Foraging: Find food, water, and the raw materials needed to build shelter and fire, as well as craft weapons and other items is essential for survival.
- Exploring: The wide open world of Song in the Smoke begs exploration, and moving through it requires curiosity and wit to unravel nature’s many mysteries. The song leads players forward, guiding them through this strange world and revealing a little more about the secret at its heart with each new discovery.
- Maximizing Resources: If you make the kill, make sure nothing is wasted. Stock up on meat, bones, and skins that you can use to keep yourself warm as you move through the world of Song in the Smoke, travelling from lush forests, through ancient valleys, to frozen glaciers. A deep crafting design allows players to build weapons, tools, shelter and fire from the raw materials nature provides.
- Total playthrough time: 12-20 hours

What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
This game is weak on VR immersion - your hands are mostly for interacting with menus rather than physically handling objects, you teleport instead of jumping, you summon your weapons with button presses rather than physically handling them. But it is very detailed on some of the crafting elements - you build a fire by physically piling up sticks, you have to choose what to harvest from animals with different parts taking different amounts of time, you bang things together in your hands to make stuff, you smoosh plants to making potions, you have to strike a torch off something to make it light, etc. The game is limited in scope - there isn't that much you can craft, only three stations each of which can only make a few things. There's only a few types of enemies. But learning to survive is tough (on the highest difficulty at least) and quite compelling. The detail makes it immersive in its own way. Worth a look, try not to be put off by the very artificial control style. There's tutorial videos online from the developers, you will need them.1 found this helpful

idea was nice but the game not so much1 found this helpful
very good, would definitely recommend
I read in discussion that this game not sold so well so we havent got rekindled update yet ? cmon ppl. this is a great survival game. And it's cheap too. I just played 2 hours but the gathering and combining is good enough. Still havent got the hang of building but I just read a bit on that and ready for my next session. The hunting is surprisingly cool. Sneaking on the deers, shoot them with arrows, follow the blood when they run, and finished them. Though I'm not a fan of skinning it as it took time (literally in game time). read the review and said it's scary. I havent got to the scary part yet it seems. Day time seems to be short, and night time to be too long, as exploring at night with torch is painful, and the torch only last so long. Still just try it, but all in all, I like what I experienced and hopefully it would stay good.
Dated mechanics but a fun survival game.
