Song in the Smoke

" The sun is setting, and the dense trees are casting long shadows across the forest. My fire is fading, too, its light flickering in the gloom. From the bushes, I hear a growl, low, and hungry."

Song in the Smoke is a PSVR game with survival at its' core. Rich McCormick from 17-Bit Studios has offered fans an exciting insight into the game via the PlayStation blog.

Developers 17-Bit have worked hard to foster a naturally beautiful, yet wholly dangerous, environment for you to explore in Song in the Smoke.

" The first priority is always survival in Song in the Smoke. That means hunting and scavenging for food to stave off hunger, and it means choosing safe campsite locations to sleep at to avoid exhaustion."

Song in the Smoke features a number of biomes and appears to be a lot more open than other PSVR survival games at the moment.

Song in the Smoke's creatures move in a way that " only possible in VR" and hit hard if you're not prepared.
