ChildStory

Creator Guide

Northern Lights hide a chilling secret in this atmospheric isometric adventure!

ChildStory is a great fit for creators who enjoy story-driven games and atmospheric exploration. The game slowly reveals its story through strange encounters, conversations, and small details hidden around the town.

Alongside exploration and dialogue, the game includes action sequences with a variety of enemies and bosses. These moments break up the slower narrative pacing and tend to create good moments for live reactions and clips.

Visually, ChildStory features detailed pixel art environments with a strong focus on atmosphere. Many locations take place at night or during winter, with snowy landscapes, quiet streets, and moonlit scenes.

For your convenience, we have prepared gameplay and vertical videos, which you can find in the Media Kit.

Game made by solo developer Oliver Orangers and ported for consoles by Stamina Zero.

Important for streamers:

Game Information

A small town in the far north goes about its life: preparing for the Festival of the New Star, decorating streets, celebrating. The festival is inseparable from a cycle that repeats month after month. And Sonya stands at its center.

She's part of a story she's still trying to understand. A kind girl with a sharp mind and countless questions, she searches for answers among snow and lights.

Sonya helps friends, makes new ones, explores hidden corners, fights spirits, and solves puzzles. She acts, hoping her actions will lead to understanding.

Game Features:

- An isometric adventure with detailed pixel art that brings a cozy, living world to life.
- Combat against spirits and bosses that tests your reflexes and wit.
- Puzzles and challenges for those who love to explore.
- Memorable characters with their own stories: talk, help, and build friendships.
- A soulful soundtrack that warms the heart and stays with you.

The cycle continues.
