Press reviews: “Singer Studios debut title, The Pirate Queen, is the exact kind of immersive history that makes VR so special” Fandom Wire “Inside Cheng Shih’s cabin, I lit a joss stick and placed it in an incense holder — an action I repeated every week at my grandfather’s altar when I was growing up. It felt so realistic that I tried to wave the joss stick to put out the flame and could almost smell the smoke.” Engadget “Take a moment to listen to Lucy Liu's brilliant narration of the tale, if you do, I promise you will learn something you never knew” Android Central
