Smoke and Sacrifice announced for Switch

Curve Digital has scooped up a new game for publishing, and it’s coming to Switch. Announced today is Smoke and Sacrifice, a project from Solar Sail Games.

Smoke and Sacrifice features a handanimated story of motherhood and survival. The open-world, narrative-driven RPG will have you playing as a young mother who is on a quest to discover the fate of her son after he was sacrificed.

Smoke and Sacrifice will launch for Switch later this year. We have some additional information and the debut trailer below.

Set to be published by Curve Digital, players assume the role of Sachi, a young mother on a quest to discover the fate of her child. The game takes place in a darkly fantastical world where grotesque plantlife and animals roam and harsh societal customs rule. Taking cues from modern survival classics, Smoke and Sacrifice evolves the genre with its deeply personal story and complex ecosystem. Creatures forage, mate, breed and prey on one another, creating a living world. Only by taming the game’s wilds can Sachi hope to unravel the mystery at the heart of Smoke and Sacrifice.

Depicted in a beautiful, hand-painted style, Smoke and Sacrifice’s storybook visuals belie its brutal story of motherhood and survival. Sachi doesn’t just have to worry about the the game’s antagonists – the entire game world poses a threat. Players can alter the behavior 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.
