About This Game

The light is fading—and a small owl is about to begin a very big adventure.

Nocto and the Ray of Light is a colourful 3D platforming adventure inspired by the golden age of collectathon platformers. Take flight as Nocto, a spirited young owl, and journey across enchanted realms filled with soaring routes, ancient ruins, strange creatures, hidden treasures, and secrets waiting beyond the beaten path.

Master Nocto’s movement, glide between distant platforms, unleash a powerful sonic screech, and gather relics and essence as you work to return the stolen light to Gaia. From misty swamps and frozen bluffs to coral depths, crystal castles, and islands suspended among the stars, every realm brings a new place to explore.

Take Flight Together

Adventure alone or bring a friend along in local two-player co-op. Player One takes control of Nocto while Player Two joins as Bea, flying alongside you with her own movement and abilities. Explore in split-screen, tackle challenges together, hunt for collectibles, and reunite when the path carries you apart.

Whether Bea joins from the main menu or drops into an adventure already in progress, the journey is better with a friend.
