About
Song in the Smoke’s world is a beautiful, yet deadly one, but fortunately, it also gives the player a range of options to keep themselves alive for another day. I cycle through them quickly as the monster in the bushes comes closer. I could craft a stronger weapon. I have a tree branch, and could take my knife to it and carve it down into the perfect shape for a new bow, before stringing it with sinew that I dried yesterday. Or should I break the wood, snapping it in two with a motion of my hands, before burning it for vital warmth, hoping that the flames last all night and keep whatever is stalking me at bay? Or I could turn the tables, and try to hunt what is hunting me. I can hide from the beast, and then find it by tracking its scent and following its footprints, taking the time to crouch and sharpen my senses in the cover of long grass, before lining up a shot with my bow and loosing an arrow into its heart.

Critic reviews
- 8.7It’s always a struggle to describe in words, or even show in videos, how immersive and enveloping a VR experience is when done right. SITS will suck you in and bring out your inner caveman. 17-Bit has nailed it with this game. It’s truly an excellent VR experience.
- Song in the Smoke: Rekindled nonetheless soars as the best survival adventure on PSVR2, thanks in no small part to its evocative world, endlessly clever procedural design and stunning improvements made possible by Sony’s latest lump of VR tech.
- 7.0Song in the Smoke gets lost by putting players in constant danger, but dazzles with an artistically sound prehistoric trip and smartly executed survival in VR.
- 8.0Song of the Smoke, juego de supervivencia en VR, narra la vida ancestral través del misticismo y lo onírico, lo que le sirve para distanciarse de una realidad a la que no puede aspirar por cuestiones presupuestarias y técnicas. Así, el trabajo de Katsya Terada en el apartado artísitco es excepcional. Por otro lado, la implementación de las mecánicas vía mandos Move unida la realidad virtual disparan la sensación de inmersión.
- Song in the Smoke fonde la classica progressione di un gioco a livelli con un survival spezzettato in mappe ben disegnate che valorizzano l'esplorazione, il crafting limitato ma bilanciato e l'esperienza complessiva che nonostante la modestia tecnica riesce a essere coinvolgente, sfruttando a piena potenza la possibilità di legare le dinamiche survival all'immersività della realtà Virtuale.
