In this Puzzle/Adventure game you must guide Niko through a mysterious world, utilizing items, characters, and the environment to progress. The life of a lost child and the fate of a steadily decaying world hang in balance, and not everyone—or everything—is interested in preserving them either. You are to guide a child through a mysterious world on a mission to restore its long-dead sun. ...Of course, things are never that simple. The world knows you exist. The consequences are real. Saving the world may be impossible. You only have one shot.

Reviews here first, then TMDB's reviews and the title's Wikipedia plot and reception. If nothing settles it, you can put it to the curators.
