Sky: Children of the Light, the acclaimed free-to-play «social adventure» from Journey and Flower developer ThatGameCompany, has — just shy of a year since being announced for PC — finally launched on Steam, initially as an early access release.
Sky: Children of the Light is far from a new game, of course; it originally launched for iOS all the way back in 2019 before making its way to Android, Switch, and PlayStation in the years since. And now — with over 260m downloads to its name already — PC players will have the opportunity to experience its lovely, if unusual, adventure for themselves.
Spanning the seven realms of a beautiful kingdom located among the clouds, Sky: Children of the Light combines puzzley-platformy bits and story vignettes, all build around a gently collaborative multiplayer core designed to encourage «compassion, friendship, and altruism».
