Description: Meet Nerow, a little boy who lives in a lovely and enchanted forest, along with his magical friends. Each day he plays around freely and enjoys the sparkling light of the Sun-bug, who wakes up each day by the morning bell. One day, the huge Sun-Bug is abducted! Therefore his friends lose all of their magical energy and fall into an eternal sleep. Nerow wants his friends to wake up again, and you’re the only one who can assist him on an amazing quest to bring back the light by sharing magical fireflies. Team up, find back the Sun-Bug and bring back light into the magical ‘Dreamscape’…

Review: Spark of Light is as good as VR games get. It looks amazing, has plenty of levels to keep you amused and it also gives the brain a bit of a workout as well. But what it does more than anything is keep you deeply immersed in the dream world style environment. There is always something to see and things happen all around you making great use of VR. While this is not a game that will make much sense story-wise, nor does it hold your hand in any way, leaving you to figure everything out all by yourself. But that need to explore and interact with this is often what makes this game feel so special to play.
