Sky: Children of the Light

What it is

Sky is a peaceful and cozy MMO about genuine human connection. That is how thatgamecompany inc pitches Sky: Children of the Light on Google Play, where it sits in the Role Playing category and carries a content rating of Everyone 10+.

What the listing says

In the developer’s words, “In Sky, a fellow adventurer takes your hand and leads you somewhere you’d never have found on your own”. It also states that “That’s the heart of it: real people quietly looking after each other across a beautiful, forgotten kingdom”. Another line from the listing: “A small gesture can become a friendship, and an unfamiliar player can make a lonely journey feel a little less lonely”. The listing goes on to say “Free to play and with no ads to break the moment, Sky is a peaceful, award-winning social adventure from the creators of Journey”.

One more point the description makes: “Explore seven hand-crafted realms, solve gentle puzzles, and find your way home alongside millions of players around the world”. The description says: “Anything you can buy is cosmetic, so all you need to bring is your curiosity”. In the developer’s words, “Light someone’s candle, offer a hand, share a bench at sunset”. That is everything we can say about the gameplay from the listing itself, since this page is built from the Play data and not from hands-on play.

The listing says it offers in-app purchases, so expect to be asked for attention or money at some point. Also, one star ratings sit at 5.9%, a modest share, though that is still 68,822 people who were unhappy enough to say so.
