About this game
Sky: Children of the Light follows a journey through an animated kingdom where flight, discovery and encounters with other players share the same space. Seek out Winged Light to increase your cape's power and reach greater heights. Follow spirits' memories and return them to their temples to learn expressions; rescuing spirits also opens access to further areas. Light has a social use as well. Gather it to forge candles, then offer candles to develop friendships and unlock shared expressions. Gestures and calls provide ways to communicate, while instruments let players make music together. The recurring activities connect exploration with building a vocabulary of interactions: what you find can change how you travel and how you spend time with others.
