this is an absolutely gorgeous point-and-click game, although honestly the art is the biggest thing going for it. the story is a little simple so it's probably ideal to play with children.
This visually pleasing hand-drawn point and click game is absolutely a hidden gem. There wasn't really any difficulty in the puzzles or even the riddles, but it was a beautiful story told amazingly.
If you want something cute, short and visually appealing, this is definitely for you. It's actually a great game to be played with children as well. Highly recommended.

You play as a small Firefly with a big personality on a journey to find Mother in order to stop the devourers cloaking the forest in darkness. Along the way, you'll meet many other characters to help you with your task.
Visuals
She and the Light Bearer looks like a gorgeous storybook. Like with most games I play, it was the artstyle that initially drew me to it. It's just so bright and colorful and pretty. It made me happy just to look at it. The main setting is the forest which looks very lush and green and vibrant. The characters are all super adorable little plants and bugs. Everything just oozes charm and happiness.
Sound Effects + Music
The background music of She and the Light Bearer has a nice folksy, island vibe to it. It's quite pleasant and suits the visuals perfectly. I never got annoyed with it or found it repetitive.
The characters do have some voice acting, but they all speak gibberish. They sound cute.
Gameplay + Controls
She and the Light Bearer is a very simple point-and-click narrative adventure. I'd say the focus is on the narrative, and the point-and-click aspects are mainly there just to make it more interactive. Everything you need to click on sparkles, so you can't miss anything. And it's not done as a hint feature like in other games of the genre; everything is just sparkly from the go. You do still have to go back-and-forth between locations to pick up items to use on objects in previous screens, but it's never anything complicated. And you don't have to combine items into something usable.
Replayability
She and the Light Bearer took me a little over two hours to finish, and I did miss some achievements along the way. This is a game I wouldn't mind playing again in the future to complete it and just go through this sweet story again.
Overall
She and the Light Bearer is a very cute and chill game. It's a nice way to spend a couple of hours.

I adored this little point and click adventure game. It seems childish and simple at first, but the enjoyment in this game does not come from fighting bosses or solving mysteries or puzzles, but from interacting with the cast and reading through the plot. Treat it like a visual novel with minor puzzle elements. While I did not entirely enjoy the ending, I did enjoy all the artwork and jokes along the way. A fun, warm little game that's likely to be enjoyable if you have a few hours to kill and want a new, short game to play.
Beautiful art and music, very sweet characters and writing. Less an adventure game and more an interactive storybook, so adjust expectations accordingly.
