Smoke and Sacrifice comes to PC and Switch later this month
Curve Digital and Solar Sail Games have announced that Smoke and Sacrifice will release for PC and Nintendo Switch on May 31st, with other platforms to follow later in the year.
“It’s been so heartening to see Smoke and Sacrifice resonate with players since its reveal in February,” said Simon Byron, Publishing Director at Curve Digital. “Neil and Tancred have crafted an emotional and engaging experience that breathes new life into survival gameplay with its deep narrative and gorgeously realised world.”
“We’re thrilled to announce the release date for the PC and Nintendo Switch versions of Smoke and Sacrifice,” said Tancred Dyke-Wells, Co-Founder of Solar Sail Games. “Player feedback since we revealed the game has been wonderful, at shows such as EGX Rezzed and GDC as well as online. We’ve been hard at work making this is the most narratively ambitious survival game yet, creating a beautiful, hostile world for the player to explore alongside a deep, robust crafting system.”
Set in a darkly fantastical world where grotesque creatures roam and harsh societal customs rule, players assume the role of Sachi, a young mother on a quest to discover the fate of her child. Sachi doesn’t just have to worry about the the game’s antagonists - the entire game world poses a threat. Players can alter the behaviour of plant and animal life but this may also limit the resources Sachi has to craft items from. The deadly smoke also poses unique challenges throughout the game, altering enemy as well as player behaviour.
