Blast Away the Game Review Writes: "If you went just by the title alone, one would assume that Smoke and Sacrifice is a game much like titles such as Darkest Dungeon and Salt and Sanctuary. However, that's not the case with this charming little indie title that sees players take on the role of Sachi, a woman that lives in a small bleak place, one that serves as home to a smoke-addled, down-on-their-luck underclass of peoples known as the Drear. A people's who perform menial tasks such as farming, fighting off unknown dangers and working provide power to the paradise of those above.
Sadly, Sachi isn't taking things easy after having watched her son become a sacrifice to the one whom her people call their Sun God. However, Sachi isn't convinced that her son is dead or sacrificed at all, but rather, she believes her son to have been sent to the lands below, to serve as one of the Drear and ultimately, she is ready to discover the truth and find out what has happened to her son."
Smoke and Sacrifice is a hand-illustrated, open-world, narrative-driven RPG, where exploiting living ecosystems is the key to your survival.
