Song in the Smoke

Where to I begin with this absolute masterpiece to the VR community?
This game combines great but short storytelling, and a realistic survival experience to make one of the best games I’ve ever had the chance to try. Not only is his game cheap, enjoyable, and long, it’s also just the game I needed to survive 2023. Sure the graphics and animal will may be a bit buggy, but you won’t notice that in a visual landscape that will constantly have you exploring new things! And it’s really simplistic in its crafting, it’s combat, and it’s art style. And while you play this masterpiece, a story will unfold that will have you questioning its meaning, and even if you may survive to see the end of the story!
I will spoil a bit here, so if you would like to skip this please do. The story goes something like this.
You are sick, or in a coma of some sorts, and you find yourself in a guided dream where what I would assume is your grandma guides you through this landscape to get to the end. You fight your way through, killing multiple lords like lions, deer, and more which I would assume mean different things in life so you can continue on. And from quotes from the game,
“Death travels on the wind.” “Death strikes from nowhere.” “Death cannot be stopped.”
I recommend you try the game out, and see if you can see this ending for yourself.
I would sell my soul to get a sequel.
Edit- It is now officially 2025 and I am still confident on the fact this is the best game I have ever played. To the developers, I would give anything in my possession for the next game. I could build the story, I could major in coding to help make the game, I would do anything in my power for a sequel.

It's got cool artwork and all but the in game graphics and environment looks like it was done in crayon by an elementary school student. It's like PS2 graphics.

I have been an avid oculus gamer since oculus 1 and have maybe 40% of games in the store. Barring daily wordle, connections and puzzling places, this is by far the best game i have, finished it more than 25x, over the years and still come back to it from time to time just to chill, hunt, get goosebumps with the great sound design.

Immersive and fun. Difficult and entertaining.

I get what I need to do, but the lighting is so bad I keep getting lost and end up walking around in circles. Even using the map I have absolutely no idea what path or even what direction to go in. It's a shame because the mechanics seem fun to play with but I'm not going to waste my time on a game I keep getting lost in.
I spent the first 30 minutes of the game getting frustrated. I didn't even make it out of the tutorial area. Not worth it.

SITS has become my go to game since I downloaded it several month ago - I've actually replayed this game by now, at least six or seven times (I've lost count actually) but each time I've replayed it, it's different or has had variable outcomes and unexpected surprises! I've got my favorite levels and least favorite levels (only because I hate lions and purple panthers lol!) they are the hardest to deal with I think. The UI is so well honed and fluid - it's one of the highlights IMO of this game over others I've played that are similar to this (Survival games) that it really seems so natural now. Oh, one other thing - this game is also beautiful visually - from an artistic standpoint incredible! If you like games such as Green Hell or Medieval Dynasty then you'll love this. I also would love to see a sequel of some kind to this game - maybe a prequel actually, sort of a vision of how he/or she became the great hunter in the past... The Hunter's Quest! (there's a title for you!) lol!
