About Child of Light
Child of Light follows Aurora, a young girl from 1895 Austria, who awakens on the forgotten continent of Lemuria. The Queen of the Night has stolen the sun, moon, and stars, and Aurora must recover them to return home and fulfill her destiny.
Ubisoft Montreal built the game with the UbiArt Framework, delivering an RPG told in verse and rhyme. Players explore a hand‑drawn world alone or with a friend via seamless drop‑in, drop‑out co‑op.

The system emphasizes timing and party coordination, letting players combine abilities from different members to address enemy patterns.
