She and the Lightbearer 1.0

She and the Lightbearer is a beautifully animated visual novel. You start off listening to the quabbling of an indigenous family who are preparing for an upcoming rite of passage festival and as the kids in the family grow weary and insolent grandma "Grumps" tells you the story of the firefly and the land.

The animation is really inviting and the game has a relaxing musical score that adds to perfectly to the relaxed atmosphere, She and the Lightbearer is a game that is very easy to lose yourself within and forget your playing a game and just become enthralled with the wonderful drawings and intriguing story.

This is only a demo version but what we have seen so far looks great and this game should transcend past just people who enjoy visual novels but to anyone that likes seeing a story unfold in front of their eyes.

This demo of the full game shows a lot of promise and hopefully there will be more great story based games to come from developers Mojiken Studio.

A beautiful way to spend some time lose yourself in this colorful world of interesting characters and tales of folklore.
