Sunlight is setting, and the dense trees are casting long shadows over the forest. My fire is fading, too, its light flickering in the gloom. From the bushes, A growl is heard by me, low, and hungry.
I’ve one question. The night time how do you survive?
That’s exactly the same question we at 17-BIT want one to consider while you’re playing our completely new VR survival game, Song in the Smoke, arriving at PS VR in 2021.
Song in the Smoke’s world is really a beautiful, deadly one yet, but fortunately, a later date it also provides player a variety of options to help keep themselves alive for. I cycle through them because the monster in the bushes comes closer quickly.
I possibly could craft a stronger weapon. A tree is had by me branch, and may take my knife to it, carve it in to the perfect shape for a fresh bow down, yesterday before stringing it with sinew that I dried. Or if the wood is broken by me, snapping it in two with a motion of my hands, before burning it for vital warmth, forever and keep whatever is stalking me away hoping that the flames last.
Or I possibly could turn the tables by attempting to hunt what’s hunting me. I could hide from the beast, and discover it by tracking its scent and after its footprints then, taking the proper time and energy to crouch and sharpen my senses in the cover of long grass, before lining up a go with my bow and loosing an arrow into its heart.
Or possibly I will explore, look for a fresh camping spot prior to the sun falls. Yesterday i saw a strange green glow along with a cliff, night was closing in and I had a need to make contact with the heat of my fire but. There’s some daylight still, That rock could possibly be climbed by me face and uncover its mysteries, the night going for a torch to light my way and scare off the beasts of.
The initial priority is definitely survival in Song in the Smoke. Which means scavenging and trying to find food to push away hunger, also it means choosing safe campsite locations to sleep at in order to avoid exhaustion. This means concocting antidotes and healing tonics for poison and injuries also, along with staying warm, crafting building and clothes fires when i move from forests, through plateaus, to frozen peaks.
In addition, it means defending myself against attacks from the predators that share this world with me. Song in the Smoke’s beasts move with a weight that’s only possible in VR, and their attacks feel just like being hit by way of a furry train. But while they’ve got their claws and teeth, I’ve got a weapon of my very own – a crafted club – that I could use to block and parry their attacks. Facing down 200 kilograms of angry lion isn’t easy, but easily time my deflection right just, I could disorient the beast enough to flee his attention long. Or I possibly could even back strike, swinging my club with my Move controller to send him running for safety along with his tail between their legs. If I’m lucky really, my blow might take him down once and for all, allowing me to plunder his corpse for trophies along with other valuable resources.
It’s a dangerous world, but because of PS VR, my survival is placed into my very own two hands. I eat by bringing food to my real-life mouth; turn herbs into tonics by mashing them with tools and pouring them into containers, and carve wood by firmly taking a knife to its surface. When I have to defend myself – or search for my dinner – i quickly can also depend on human instincts. Firing a bow feels natural: I pull the string with my Move controllers, line my eye up with the arrow, and release. If I’ve aimed it right, my target is hit in its heart then, tonight and I’ll eat. EASILY miss, my prey will undoubtedly be spooked then, and I’ve wasted an arrow.
<span class want properly to consume, I’ll require a fire. After I’ve built a pit, I’ll smash two rocks together, longing for the spark that lights my kindling, before building my precious campfire slowly, tending its embers to become roaring flame. With enough fuel, The night time i could keep it burning through, preventing the creatures that call the dark their house, and ensuring I could awaken rested fully.
When I’m feeling braver, I could capture a few of that fire with a torch, and go out in to the dark. A few of Song in the Smoke’s most effective rewards are available under cover of darkness, but I’ve surely got to be cautious. Night, since it was to your distant ancestors, is really a real danger, and I’m not the only person padding through the depths of the forest far past my bedtime. Predators lurk in the gloom, watching from the shadows cast by my flickering torch. They’re joined by another thing, aswell – something primal – that stalks the midnight hours truly.
But when i explore my environment, begin to learn its secrets, locate its items, and battle its predators, I could do a lot more than survive – I could begin to thrive. I could craft weapons better, build tanning and drying racks to upgrade my items, and outfit myself with warmer and stronger clothes. When I’m ready, I could begin to make plans to go to the next zone, towards the mysterious giant tree in the length, spurred on by visions of a strange shaman who appears to dwell in another global world.
Initially, the global world of Song in the Smoke is similar to our own, but spend some right amount of time in its starkly beautiful spaces and the strangeness becomes apparent. Deer drink at watering holes alongside dangerous purple-feathered bipeds; odd weasel creatures frolic through foliage before disappearing in to the undergrowth, and venture further in your journey and you also might catch a glimpse of a beast so large it looks similar to a lumbering boulder. Your journey may seem such as a solitary one, but if you’re lucky, you may spy some friendly souls to help you on your own path also, or the remnants of individuals and also require come before.
Each time you play Song in the Smoke, you’re wanted by us to be thinking about these same questions. MUST I craft a fresh bow, or put up with old faithful? Is this an ideal campsite, or must i pack and transfer to that cave on the cliff side up? Am I prepared to fight that strange shimmering monster that I saw stalking just above the ridge line?
& most importantly of most: how do you survive? In Song in the Smoke, the decision is yours.
