So, this is a bit of an odd situation. I've wanted to do an LP for this game, but since I already play it, it's a unique scenario. The game does have a definitive "ending", but they keep coming up with new expansions, so I've been playing on and off for nearly three years now. Because of this, this will be a part storytime/ part tutorial/ part playthrough of Sky: Children of the Light. I'll narrate my experience with the game as how I first played it in 2020, as well as recalling my reactions and stories from this era. I'll also use screenshots I took in the present, as I do not have any screenshots from before 2021.

Part 0: Introduction
Sky Children of the Light (shortened to Sky COTL or just Sky) is a social adventure game released by thatgamecompany. They also released Journey, Flower, and Flow. In the game, you traverse a ruined kingdom while trying to establish a new society as a Skykid, angel-like creatures who were sent down from the heavens to restore the world. There are a lot of social aspects, with it being technically considered an MMO, although it lacks many of the combat and high fantasy aspects present in traditional MMOs. It is free, and is available on iOS, Android, PS4, PS5, and Switch, with a Steam version coming out soon.
There are six 'eras' in my playthrough of the game.
Era 1: The Main Story (May-June 2020).
Era 2: Dabbling with the Community (June-December 2020)
Era 3: Early 2021 Break (January-June 2021)
Era 4: Semi's Squad (June-November 2021)
Era 5: Epic Lore Time (December 2021- August 2022)
Era 6: Beyond the World of Sky (September 2022- Present)
I will also be recalling stories about the various expansions that took place. There have been fifteen expansions as of now:
Era 1: None
Era 2: Enchantment, Sanctuary, Prophecy
Era 3: Dreams, Assembly
Era 4: TLP, Flight
Era 5: Abyss, Performance, Shattering
Era 6: Aurora, Remembrance, Passage, Moments, Revival
