The story of "Child of Light" is a whimsical fairy tale that follows the journey of Aurora, a young girl who awakens in the magical land of Lemuria and must restore light to the world by reclaiming the sun, moon, and stars from an evil queen. The narrative is presented entirely in rhymed verse, which adds a unique charm but can feel forced at times, leading to mixed reactions from players. While the story is generally engaging and visually stunning, some reviewers noted its predictability and simplicity, suggesting it may appeal more to younger audiences or those seeking a light-hearted adventure rather than a complex narrative.
“The story, the characters, and the visuals are so beautiful.”
“Child of light is a beautiful and fantastical RPG turn-based story adventure game.”
“The story is absolutely amazing, especially since it's told in rhymes!”
“Unfortunately, the story itself feels shallow and generic, and the many characters with their fun and whimsical designs have stories written as shallow as grating my ear on a cheese grater.”
“The dialogue tries too hard, and the plot is on the more juvenile side, but it's still a fun game.”
“The rhyming dialogue felt forced and disrupted the flow of the story for me.”

Child of Light is often a lot of fun, but it's simplistic nature gets in the way. This beautiful game is also hampered by bad writing and a number of irritations.
