AG Theme of the Week #18 - Just Kid-ding Around
After getting stuck behind a school bus last week and having a couple of little kids wave at me from the back window for the 10 minutes I was following them, I got the idea that it might be fun to focus on children who appear in adventure games. Of course, many children’s game feature children or young animals as characters, but I can think of only a few adult adventures that have children as characters.
A few are the protagonists, such as:
Fran in Fran Bow
Anna in Anna’s Quest
and Lilly in Harvey’s New Eyes
Some are non-playable characters, such as:
Acheo in Journeyman Project 3: Legacy of Time (although technically we do play as him because we capture his image with our chameleon suit)
Yeesha in Myst 4: Revelation
and as a baby at the beginning of Myst 3: Exile
At one point in Riven, you come across a little girl who runs away from you, and a young boy in one of the round huts will answer if you knock enough times.
That’s all that come to me at the moment, but I’m hoping a few more will occur to you.

perfect theme LadyK
we have also beside ‘Lilly in Harvey’s New Eyes’ another two courageous Lilly(s)
Lil(l)y (looking through) on a very hard journey to save her brother ‘whon i ve forgotten his name)
and Lilly from Ceville which takes that latter negativity all the time, and turns it into clear optimistic childish lovely humor, until she is able to turn him from an evil tyrant king to a good king!
Great theme, LadyK! Kuidos to you for it! (bad pun, I know)
There’s a wonderful free browser game Anika’s Odyssey and I encourage everyone to play it!

Lily in The Little Acre.
At least 4 of the girls in The Path are still children.
Renie in Silence and Sadwick in the Whispered World.
The protagonist in Among the Sleep is a toddler (nameless? I only remember it’s a boy) with his teddy.
See you around, wolf. Nerissa

Says the guy who didn’t even mention his buddy Sadwick….

Yeah, so I forgot about Sadwick. Everyone also forgot about Miette in The City of Lost Children.

Women come and go… a highscore lasts forever
Great theme again, Lady Kestrel!
-Simon the Sorcerer
-Sandra And Woo In The Cursed Adventure. Sandra, Cloud and Larissa are playable characters.

I’m not sure I’d describe Simon the Sorcerer as a “child”, although with his sense of humor…maybe?
Bear With Me - Amber
Bulb Boy - Bulb Boy
Ecoquest - Adam
Finding Teddy - The Girl
Yeah, so I forgot about Sadwick.
I’m not blaming you for that, diego. Especially not now after EuroBasket final...

Ok, he is 12 just like Jeremias from TNOTR. Sadwick is probably same age too as few others mentioned also.
Just to make a really cheerful addition:
Depending where you draw the line, at least some of the sisters in The Path are children.
I bet they showed you the finger but you are too nice to say it
Nah. It was a kindergarden bus.
There are quite a few more children in games than I realized, but I just thought of a couple more.
Hans in a flashback scene in Syberia
Anna as a child in Resonance
