She and the Light Bearer
developed by Mojiken Studio | Platforms: Windows, Mac
Welcome to the forest,
O Bearer of Light.
Come and see
beings of fairy tale
who welcome thee.
Dancing grasses, laughing flowers,
in hope and tears, the Forest cheers.
Come and hear
stories and wisdom,
treasured so dear.
Stay and ponder, stay and wander.
Learn the wisdom, reach the answer.
Come in deeper,
O Light Bearer,
into the Forest’s heart.
Where the light fails to penetrate
and the truth slumbers so deeply.
Come and find…
find the Mother.
“A point and click adventure game, a poem, a fairy tale. Take a journey inside a vibrantly colored forest, meet silly creatures, listen to serene folk music, and discover somber secrets.”
