Child of Stars

Child of Stars is a 2D platforming role-playing video game developed by Amuza and published by Ubisoft. The main character, Aurora, is reborn into Lemuria as she cannot transcend to the afterlife due to part of her soul not having fulfilled its purpose. Her unfulfilled soul manifests itself as Eos, and Aurora has to defeat and reconnect with Eos to be able to transcend.
The game is slated for release in 2017 and will be released on, Nintendo Switch, Wii U, Playstation 4, Xbox One as well as computer systems such as Microsoft Windows, Apple OS X, and Linux through the Steam store.
It is a sequel to the 2014 game, Child of Light, and is a continuation of the original story, set 10 years later. At the end of the first game, Aurora became the Queen of West Lemuria and saved the people from her hometown in Austria from the Great Flood by bringing them into Lemuria. Much like the original, the game is powered by the UbiArt Framework.
The game introduced new mechanics to the series such as the Anytime Attack, as well as integrating a much more interactive world with mini-games and more areas to explore.

Child, tuck yourself in bed.
And let me tell you a story of Lemuria thriving instead. 
Now Austria was saved Lemuria thrived, and tales of Aurora’s journey never fazed. 
Yet Aurora grew up in her castle, bringing joy to the West. 
She always felt like she never experienced what was blessed.''
Her mother, father, and family are all gone.
She felt like nothing was left, her end had been drawn.
Her body had gone all cold, the land called it a black swan.
Yet not too far away a child was born.
Falling out of the stars, where Aurora’s heart had been sworn.
The legends foretold of this unruly night.
For Aurora was not the only child who went through that same plight. 
Aurora fell from the stars to the altar once more.
This time her body a child, again at the core.
Soon she will awaken and open that door
And find yet another journey for her to explore.
===Chapter 1: The Girl and the Firefly Return===
Aurora awakes on the Altar of Mahthildis once again, annoyed at being there. She decides to head back to her castle in West Lemuria but discovers the Three of Thorns overgrown, making it impossible to pass. Aurora instead decides to find Igniculus whom she hasn't seen in ten years, and heads to the Wisps Dominion.
As Aurora journeys into the Wisps Dominion, she eventually finds and reunites with Igniculus, and pleads for help. He reluctantly agrees to help and the two head to the Old Monastery to find the Lady of the Forest who may have an answer on how to get where she wants to go.
The two find the decaying body of the Lady, who can only be revived with water from the Fountain of Stars. After finding the fountain deeper in the monastery, they revive the Lady of the Forest by pouring the waters on her.
The Lady of the Forest helps Aurora, telling her that the only reason her soul wouldn't have transcended was that part of it had never finalized its purpose. This part would have crash landed from the stars elsewhere in Lemuria, and wandered the land looking to fulfill its purpose. Aurora needs Eos to complete her spiritual journey and reunite with her before she can continue to the afterlife. Bathing in the water from the Fountain of Stars will reveal the location of the other soul.
Aurora heads back to the Fountain of Stars and bathes in its waters, and she sees the summit of a snowy mountain, with a child resting on the altar. Igniculus knows it to be the Altar of Cosima in the Imani Peaks.
===Chapter 2: Sister from a Shooting Star===
On her way to the Imani Peaks, Aurora finds a Capili crying. The Capili known as Gladys reveals that the City of the Capili has become infested with dark creatures and worries everyone she loves is gone. Aurora vows to help the Capili, and Gladys chooses to join Aurora too. Knowing she is a Capili peasant, Gladys thinks maybe saving her city will help her become a respected member of the city.
They defeat all the dark creatures and head to the town Inn where all the Capili have taken refuge. Aurora and Gladys make the big announcement of the town being saved, and the townsfolk thanks the pair, but do not acknowledge the help of the peasant. Gladys continues to follow Aurora to get away from the judgment of the other Capili.
Aurora makes it to Imani Peaks, and after a little climb up Mount Adelle, find themselves in Jeinor Village. They pass through to Mount Cosima where the Altar of Cosima resides atop the mountain. They make their up the pagodas and eventually reach the top where they awake Aurora's other half, Eos. The two have a brief fight, and Eos refuses to go with Aurora, instead believing herself to be a prophet sent as a falling star by the gods.
Eos scurries off back down the mountain to Jeinor Village and Aurora follows after her. When Aurora reaches the village she sees Eos spreading her beliefs and telling the people to side with her for she is a great prophet capable of saving them while the rest of Lemuria will perish. The Jeinors begin to believe Eos, but Aurora interrupts the rally to the anger of Eos, who retaliates by going on a rampage through the town. Eos is subdued but manages to flee from the village and spread her beliefs across Lemuria.
With Eos gone, Aurora decides to revise the Lady of the Forest on what to do next. The Lady sees the only way of overpowering Eos is to revive the three Mystical Ladies of Greater Lemuria and harness their power to reunite Eos into Aurora's spirit. The group first head to revive the Lady of White on top of Mount Elaine.
===Chapter 3: The Whitest of White===
After leaving the Old Monastery to head back to Imani Peaks and Mount Elaine, a deep sinkhole opens in the Orange Woods and swallows Aurora down underground. They make their way through the system of caverns and come to Imani Mines, which takes them back up to the surface under Jeinor Village.
Passing through the village, Aurora finds herself at the foot of Mount Elaine with the daughter of Jeinor crying. She tells Aurora that her father went up the mountain three days ago, and yet has still not returned from his expedition. Aurora helps the girl out to find her father up the mountain, and the young Jeinor, Juno, goes with Aurora up the mountain to find her dad.
A blizzard soon engulfs the mountain, and in the middle of the blizzard is a campsite and the frozen body of Juno's dad. They take the frozen body back to Jeinor Village and head back up the mountain while they wait for it to thaw. At the summit, they find a small chapel with the body of the Lady of White inside. After reviving her with some water from the Fountain of Stars, the Lady of White bestows her power on Aurora and tells her to head to the Isle of Nereida where her sister will be waiting.
===Chapter 4: Voyage to a Far-Off Land===
Crossing the Bass Sands to the Ulriche Marina proves rather difficult for Aurora and her team, but they eventually make it and find the Ferryman who can take them to the Isle of Nereida. Unfortunately, the Ferryman has a sickness that has paralyzed him. Juno investigates the Ferryman and knows the cure for his paralysis requires a dose of Derid Mint, which can be found in the Barbodeen Marsh.
Aurora heads across the Ulriche Strait and into the marsh where she discovers a group of thieves who are tearing down the marsh to make a Thieves Den. Aurora confronts the thieves but they make off with her belongings and partners. Aurora tracks down each thief in the marsh, and after defeating the first thief forces him to join Aurora in hunting down her friends. The thief, Lynee, agrees against his will and helps Aurora find and defeat the other thieves. 
They all return to the Thieves Den and Aurora gets all her things back and takes some of the Derid Mint. The thieves condone Aurora's behaviors, saying the mint is from the Gods and should never be taken for oneself, however, she doesn't listen and instead tells the thieves to stop trying to trick her.
Whilst heading back to the Ferryman, Lynee decides to come back to Aurora and help her out of love. They all make it back to the Ferryman, cure him of his paralysis, and hop aboard the ferry to the Isle of Nereida. The vacation is quickly halted as strange sounds come from the bottom of the ferry. Aurora heads to the Lower Decks to investigate and finds a group of dark creatures stowed upon the ship. They are soon defeated and when returning to the Top Deck they find out that they have already docked on the Isle of Nereida, however, the Ferryman is nowhere to be found.
===Chapter 5: The Lost, The Search, The Discovery===
Knowing they cannot leave the Isle without finding the Ferryman, Aurora heads into the Black Woods in search of him and finds him in the deepest part of the woods. They return to the dock and find out the Ferryman was taken by a large monster, but managed to free himself before he could be taken away.
Further searching the island they find out that an entire city has been abandoned, and abandoned very recently. The former residents, the Suellen race, seem to have entirely vanished without a trace. Aurora then finds an Aerostati traveler, Miln, crying in front of the Queen's Idol. Miln saw a giant monster eat every villager and then make off into the Black Woods. Aurora helps get the Aerostati's friends back from the monster, and they decide to first consult with the Queen of Nereida.
Aurora enters Castle Suellen to find the Queen, and after snooping around locates her in the Throne Room. The Queen is in a hysteria now that all her people are gone, and says that Aurora may be able to find the monster if she can find the Four Plaques of Memorance. Each one gives details to a fabled tale of a monster's hideout and a way to slay the beast.
Much traveling across the isle helps Aurora find the four plaques in the Black Woods, Midnight Grove, Stone Hour Town, and Castle Suellen. They all reveal the knowledge of the Phobeter, a giant monster who terrorizes the town once every ten years. According to the plaques, the only living person to know of the Phobeter's location is the Ferryman. And after discussing with him they learn of his location in a cave deep in Midnight Grove.
The Phobeter is soon defeated and the Suellen race is saved. They all show disapproval of Aurora's action, saying they preferred living inside the monster, but admit to returning back to their usual lives.
===Chapter 6: The Blackest of Black===
With the Suellen race now freed from capture, the Queen of Nereida has returned to her normal self and now has hope once again with her servants at her side. The Queen now out of her hysteria, allows Aurora to enter The Invisible Library and find the Lady of Black.
On her way to the library, Aurora comes across Nim's Dojo, a school teaching the dark arts. Here she meets Siren, a member of the Suellen race who is training in the dark arts. However, Siren pleads for Aurora to help her as the dojo has become more of a prison and has had disciples suddenly disappear. Siren joins Aurora, and they investigate the dojo, asking what other students have seen. They eventually discover a hidden passage that leads to a secret chamber where the missing students are being brainwashed by Nim into perfecting their craft. The group defeats him, but he pleads that he is doing nothing wrong, and simply helping people accomplish what they want. Nim is pardoned for running the dojo and it is passed on to the second in command, Horus.
Aurora and the team continue and find the Invisible Library. She scales the infernal tower, yet it seems to be climbing up and up forever, never-ending. After much effort though, the top of the tower looms near for Aurora and her team. Once they finally reach the top they find the Lady of Black and use water from the Fountain of Stars to revive her.
The Lady of Black harnesses her power and shares it with Aurora, making her more powerful than she has ever been before and aging her some years. The Lady of Black tells Aurora her final sister will not be easy to find, however. She rests in the deepest part of Lemuria, far underground where only gods and rulers know how to enter.
With no leads on how to find the Last Lady, Aurora listens to the Lady of Black's words, and decides to make her way across Lemuria to find those who know the entrance to this underground world.
===Chapter 7: The Road Less Travelled===
The Queen of Nereida tells Aurora that a place known as the Core of Agartha exists. The Mayor of the City of the Capili tells Aurora that in Agartha roams the people who founded this great land and the connections to the Gods it has. The Jeinor Elder tells Aurora that the Imani Mines has a passage to the place she seeks. 
Aurora heads through the Deep Imani Mines and comes across someone who is lost. Aurora has never seen anybody who looks like him, and all he wants is to find his way back home. Aurora agrees to take him home back to the surface, but on their way up, she discovers that the passage has become blocked. Instead, another path has opened up, and they head down the path hoping to make it back to the surface.
The new passage has things Aurora has never seen before, including enemies, puzzles, and ruins. The passage winds on for a long time and Aurora begins to give up hope, thinking that they have lost themselves and will never return to the surface.
Much to Aurora's shock, the passage ends inside Agartha, and the lost boy thanks Aurora for her help. He reveals himself as Briggs, a Lemurian who likes to test scavengers in the Imani Mines. Aurora is the only one who has ever managed to pass his test, and he decides to follow her after he hears Aurora's journey to reunite with Eos.
===Chapter 8: The Brightest of Bright===
Finally inside Agartha, the team head to the Open Hall and speaks with one of the Masters. Initially annoyed at a human finding Agartha, the Master agrees to help Aurora once he learns she was the Queen of the West. The Master tells Aurora to head to the Deity Altar and speak to the Gods. They will be able to help her.
In the Deity Altar, Aurora meets with the Gods who can only reveal the location of the Lady of Rainbow to those noble enough to pass the Lemurian Trials. Once completing all three trials, Aurora learns the Lady of Rainbow is resting in the Bygone Abbey, further North of Agartha.
They head across the peculiar, ever-changing landscape. Many creatures that have managed to find Agartha have only ever made it to these fields, and mutated. After a while of searching, they finally end up at the Bygone Abbey, and use water from the Fountain of Stars to revive the Lady of Rainbow.
The Lady of Rainbow harnesses her power and shares it with Aurora, making her more powerful than she has ever been before. To fully harness her new powers, Aurora needs to bathe in the Fountain of Stars once more, and her growth will be complete.
===Chapter 9: Power of the Stars===
Now bathed in the Fountain of Stars, Aurora is able to fully harnesses the power of the stars, and once again ages into an adult. While she is in the waters, she has another vision of Eos and sees her slowly dying in the Valley of the Unknown.
Aurora rushes deep into the valley, making her way through the arid canyons and desert before finally finding Eos. Her anger is reignited and she attacks Aurora but ultimately is defeated.
As Aurora carries Eos out of the valley, a sandstorm appears and whips up the girls. Eos is swept away and Aurora chases her down through the storm. She eventually retrieves Eos and escapes the sandstorm, only to find herself in the Northernmost part of Lemuria, overlooking a great ocean.
Aurora sits down on the cliffside and reminisces on her life whilst staring at the ocean. Once Eos awakes, she joins Aurora and thanks her for fulfilling her purpose. Eos learns her purpose was to venture to places she had never been before and explore the world as a free soul. She had been living inside the castle walls for too long and had never done anything out of her own free will. Now that she had seen the world, she was ready to transcend into the afterlife. 
Aurora and Eos reunite into one body, and it is finally time to say goodbye to everyone. After bidding farewell, Aurora decides it is time to leave. However, she cannot do it. Now knowing what it was that kept her behind, she wants to continue exploring the world, with her newfound hope for life. 
Deciding not to go back to the fame and power of Queen of the West, Aurora, Igniculus and all their friends instead continue journeying throughout Lemuria without the constricts of any titles.

==Gameplay==
The gameplay of Child of Stars plays fairly identical to its predecessor, in which the player will traverse a 2D world in a similar vein to a platforming side-scroller, in addition to encountering enemies and fighting them in a turn-based separate gameplay style, in a similar vein to role-playing games such as the Final Fantasy series. 
Whilst traversing the overworld, the player is free to explore through the land of Greater Lemuria. Here they can visit towns that are populated by NPCs who can give the player side-missions, markets where goods can be bought or sold, or visit many other specialty locations which each serve their own unique purpose. While out exploring in mostly unpopulated areas, the player can traverse locations and interact with the environment to solve puzzles, complete platforming and fight enemies.
The game has a leveling-up system and a large upgrade tree for each character. When a character levels up after getting enough experience points, they will earn a skill point which they can use to unlock an upgrade on the upgrade tree.
===Battle System===
Combat is engaged when an enemy is touched in the overworld, the player can control up to 2 characters during combat. Similar to the first game, there is a timeline of wait and cast periods that characters and enemies follow. Once a character has reached the cast period, the timeline freezes while an attack is being chosen and resumes again afterward. If a character reaches the end of the cast period, they will attack the enemy. However, in this period if a character is attacked, they will be interrupted and moved back into the waiting period of the timeline. Igniculus can also restore health to characters and slow down characters on the timeline during combat.
There are nine different stats for each character in battle. After each battle, the character fighting will be given experience points that can level up a character when they have enough points. Leveling up will raise the stats of a character.
*HP: Refers to the health points of a character. When this stat reaches 0 the character will faint, and need a revive to be used in battle again. The stat lowers when the character is hit by enemies.
*MP: Refers to the magic points of a character. This enables them to be able to use their special moves. Enough magic points are required to perform some moves, and if there isn't enough MP the move cannot be used.
*Strength: Refers to the power a character's physical moves have. The higher this stat is, the more health will be lost by enemies when hit.
*Defense: Refers to the character's strength in taking enemies' physical moves. The higher the character's defense is, the less health they will lose when hit.
*Magic: Refers to the power a character's magical moves have. The higher this stat is, the more health will be lost by enemies when hit with attacks that require magic.
*Magic Defence: Refers to the character's strength in taking enemies' magical moves. The higher the character's magic defense is, the less health they will lose when hit by magical attacks.
*Dodge: Refers to the character's ability to make enemy attacks miss. The higher this stat is, the more chance the character will dodge the enemy attack and not be damaged by it.
*Critical Hit: Refers to the character's ability to perform attacks that damage the enemy more. The higher this stat is, the more chance a critical hit will occur and deal extra damage to enemies.
*Speed: Refers to the character's movement on the timeline. In battle, the player will move quicker along the timeline if their speed stat is high.
Unlike the first game, the sequel has multiple cast periods along the timeline. Performing an attack in the first cast period will perform a Tier 1 attack, while a Tier 2 attack is performed in the second cast period. A Tier 2 attack will deal more damage to enemies but will require an increased cast time. If a player or enemy is interrupted during the second cast period, they will be sent back to the start of the timeline. 
Another new feature to combat is the Anytime Attack. This allows the player to pause the timeline and choose an attack even if they are in the waiting period. When an Anytime Attack is enabled, the character will have to wait until the end of the second cast period. If the character makes it to the end of the second cast period, they will deal a more devastating blow to the enemy than they normally would. The earlier an Anytime Attack is engaged, the more powerful it will be. However, if a character is interrupted during an Anytime Attack it will be cancelled. They will also be sent to the start of the timeline and be dealt with more damage than usual.
==Characters==
*Aurora: The main hero of the game, Aurora first saved Lemuria from the wrath of Umbra the Queen of the Night and became the Queen of West Lemuria. 10 years have passed and Aurora has now passed into her thirties, however, she has felt like her role as a queen has limited her from doing what she wants to do.

==Trivia==
*The location, Isle of Nereida, was visible on the map in the first game, however, it was only the first explorable in the sequel. 
*Since ten years have passed since the original game, there are many instances of evolution throughout the world. For example, the Ulriche race is shown to be an evolution of the Piscean race. They are part of the species that moved east after their former town, the Piscean Village, flooded and was terrorized by an ogre.
*While the first game was a coming-of-age tale, the sequel explores themes of what really is right and wrong.
*The side-mission, Ghost of Maiden's Peak, is a reference to an episode from the original Pokemon anime which had the same name.
*Another side-mission, Dig A Little Deeper, references a song from the Disney movie, The Princess and the Frog.
*The game, Pochspiel, in Jolly Golly Fooly translates to "Poker" in German.
*Coffers reappear in the game with an identical role to the first game, acting as a chest that holds hidden treasure.
