Overview

Heart of Smoke plunges players into a whimsical yet vengeful steampunk world. The narrative kicks off with the disgraced alchemist Alchemecha, expelled from the Academy of Magicians and Scholars, seeking retribution. His method? Transforming his former colleagues into robotic slaves and scattering their precious books across the land. Stepping into the shoes of Eneen, a wizard who narrowly avoided the academy's rejection, players must embark on a quest to reclaim magical arts and rescue his colleagues. Eneen's unique ability to manipulate smoke, forming birds for flight and bats for offense, is central to overcoming challenges. He's not alone, however, as he's joined by an unlikely protégé, the ninja girl Rae, and the mysterious Smoke Buddies.
