Developed by Ubisoft Montreal
- Platform, Role-playing (RPG), Adventure, Fantasy
The Black Queen has stolen the Sun, the Moon and the Stars. You play as Aurora, a young princess with a pure heart whose soul is brought to the kingdom of Lemuria. Embark on a quest to recapture the three sources of light, defeat the Black Queen and restore the kingdom of Lemuria. Child of Light is a hand-painted platforming role-playing game presented like a storybook told in verse. It follows Aurora, a young princess who falls gravely ill and awakens in the mysterious, dreamlike land of Lemuria, a kingdom plunged into darkness after the Queen of the Night stole away its sun, moon, and stars. Longing to return home to her father, Aurora sets out with her glowing firefly companion Igniculus to recover the captured lights and free the land from tyranny. Along the way she gathers a band of unlikely allies and grows in courage and strength as she journeys through a fairytale world of wonder and peril.
