The Lost Starlight
Carry the light back to the Great Star with Miri and Ori.
The story
Every night, the Great Star sings the forest to sleep with its soft silver light. But last night, a mischievous little cloud sneezed. Achoo!
The starlight burst into tiny sparks that scattered all over the forest, and the Great Star fell into a deep, dark sleep. Now the fireflies will not dance, the moonflowers will not open, and even the singing stones have gone quiet.
So Miri and Ori grabbed their little lantern and made a promise to the forest:
'We will gather every spark and wake the Great Star!'
But a lantern this important cannot be carried alone. They need one more brave friend.
That friend is you!
This journey needs JavaScript to play. While it wakes up, you can look at the pictures with a grown-up and guess where the sparks might hide.
For grown-ups
The Lost Starlight is a gentle adventure game for ages 4-7, and calm enough for younger siblings sitting with you.
Your child practices four different skills across four scenes: looking closely and searching, listening to a tune and repeating it in order (auditory memory), matching shapes and colors, and following a sequence to draw a little constellation. Each solved scene visibly brightens the next one, so the reward is the path itself.
In The Lost Starlight a child can linger as long as they like; the game neither hurries them nor scores them. One guide narrates the whole journey: every tap gets a warm answer from Miri, and every wrong try counts as a discovery. No reading is needed to play, and the whole game works with the sound off.
