Sky: Children of the Light

A Sky kid leads a spirit to relive their memories.
A Sky kid leads a spirit to relive their memories.

Sky: Children of the Light developers (thatgamecompany) have stated that none of the Sky kids (players) or spirits have specified genders. They also have a Pride event every June and donate to The Trevor Project.

Sky: Children of the Light is a social game in which players relive spirits’ memories across 7 different realms. Each spirit has a friendship tree that allows the player to unlock new cosmetics, spells, and more. Sky has events year-round of varying lengths. “Season” events are about the length of a real life season, and “Days” events last a few weeks at most.

thatgamecompany has stated this on a support site: “The characters and spirits in Sky are deliberately designed to let players express their chosen gender in whatever manner they choose. We believe in the power of player choice and self-expression, and encourage you to discover what that means for your in-game character.” When they introduce new spirits on social media, they also avoid using pronouns with the spirits. Whenever pronouns are used, it’s always they/them, similarly to how we use they/them for people when we don’t know their gender.

Every year, Sky hosts Days of Color, an event that acts as an in-game Pride. Pride cosmetics are available during this event. 2023 introduced 2 dark rainbow items (mostly black items with some rainbows). Other items, all rainbow of course, include a cape, trousers, and headphones. An area of Daylight Prairie was also extended for this event. Players could be seen bringing color to the already existing area, and flying up to the extension in a rainbow beam. The extended area featured a few small sky islands with rainbow waterfalls and bridges. Players faded into each color of the rainbow while in this area, and could float upon a giant rainbow ring that encircled the sky islands.

Days of Color 2023 also introduced event currencies. Days of Color currency could buy only the dark rainbow cape. All other items used other in-game currencies, or real ones. Either way, a donation finds its way to The Trevor Project every June.

Full song lyrics:

Korean:

혼자였던, 어두웠던
구름 속을 달려갔던 어제
지쳐있던, 울고 있던
나를 알아봤던 건 lights in you

칙칙했던 표정 속에
숨겨왔던 colors in you
I see all the colors in you, you
내 속에 불을 당겨 뜨거운 순간을 뱉어
나 그리고 널 초대할게

 

Lights up, 머리 위로
더는 숨지 않을게
Lights up, lights up
나를 알아본 순간
We got the power to make it make it
Lights up, 머리 위로
더는 숨지 않을게
Light it up, up, up
Light it up, up, up

복잡했던 길 (how to escape)
지도도 없이 (running forward)
언젠가 닿을 거란 걸 알고 있어
I don’t do it for the cash right
I keep on going and pushing me keep on the road
That’s all I need
Lights in you

칙칙했던 표정 속에
숨겨왔던 colors in you
I see all the colors in you, you
내 속에 불을 당겨 뜨거운 순간을 뱉어
나 그리고 널 초대할게

Lights up, 머리 위로
더는 숨지 않을게
Lights up, lights up
나를 알아본 순간
We got the power to make it, make it
Lights up, 머리 위로
더는 숨지 않을게

All I’ve been wishing for
아주 오랜 시간
All I’ve wanted for
꺼지지 않을 불빛을 따라가면
우린 서로 만날 수 있어

 

Lights up, 머리 위로
더는 숨지 않을게 (yeah all I want it for my baby)
Lights up, lights up
나를 알아본 순간 (light it up in my heart)

We got the power to make it make it (oh yeah oh yeah)
Lights up, 머리 위로
더는 숨지 않을게 (we got the power to make it)
Light it up, up, up
Light it up, up, up

English:

Yesterday, when I was alone
I ran through the dark clouds
I was exhausted and crying
But what found me were the lights in you

The colors in you that were hidden behind
your dull expression
I see all the colors in you, you
Pull a fire inside of me and throw a hot moment into it
I will invite you and me

Lights up, above my head
I won’t hide anymore
Lights up, lights up
The moment you recognized me
We got the power to make it, make it
Lights up, above my head
I won’t hide anymore
Light it up, up, up
Light it up, up, up

A complicated path (how to escape)
With no guidance (running forward)
I know I will reach it someday
I don’t do it for the cash right
I keep on going and pushing me keep on the road
That’s all I need
Lights in you

The colors in you that were hidden behind
your dull expression
I see all the colors in you, you
Pull a fire inside of me and throw a hot moment into it
I will invite you and me

Lights up, above my head
I won’t hide anymore
Lights up, lights up
The moment you recognized me
We got the power to make it, make it
Lights up, above my head
I won’t hide anymore

All I’ve been wishing for
A long awaited time
All I’ve wanted for
If you follow the light which won’t go out
We can meet each other

Lights up, above my head
I won’t hide anymore (yeah all I want it for my baby)
Lights up, lights up
The moment you recognized me (light up in my heart)
We got the power to make it, make it (oh yeah oh yeah)
Lights up, above my head
I won’t hide anymore (we got the power to make it)
Light it up, up, up
Light it up, up, up
