Sky: Children of the Light was one of our favorite E3 Hidden Gems this year. The indie adventure game is out now on iOS! It is developed and published by thatgamecompany, known for games like the popular Journey.

About the Game:

In Sky, the kingdom used to have skies full of stars and constellations. You wake up as a Child of Light. It’s up to you to find and restore the fallen stars. This is no easy task, though, and you’ll need to team up with other players.

The developers describe the game as a “social adventure.” The intention of playing with others is to share heartfelt moments with them. Along with completing the game, you can also just socialize. There’s a big focus on friendship.

You can collect musical instruments and find special music sheets. You can also collect items to customize your character. There will be seasonal events and items. There are also plans to make more chapters (games) for the world of Sky.

Game Features:

• Enjoy 7 realms to explore and journey through

• Find & gift candles to show appreciation and build friendships
