Very rarely does a game reflect and walk you through the grief of loss and the experience of life as a constantly mobile thing. I recommend this game to anyone dealing with unresolved feelings, moving somewhere new and pessimistic about the future. An absolutely lovely experience
Season is a great game giving bittersweet and nostalgic vibes with its main focus to get the story / stories across. The photos you take, the sounds you record and the journal you make feels personal. I don't think there are right or wrong answers on the choices in the dialogue - you just gain more elements of a story from different perspectives according to what you choose. Great narrative so far ! I think someone who likes to explore, see beauty in all kinds of small things and likes creativity would enjoy the game. The bicycle was a bit hard for me to control since I played with keyboard and mouse but I got the hand out it. Great game and very beautiful landscapes.
10/10
A Era is a SEASON
Life, world, war, peace and SEASON. Use the camera to record the season. One of the most Tranquil and Meaningful game I've ever played.
Contemplating the era and the future. Reflecting on memories and the past. Presenting the meaning behind these through a story set before the arrival of a natural disaster. Slow down, then immerse yourself in the scenery, the interplay of light and shadow, the stories, and the meaning. Experience the entire valley from a third-person perspective, as if you are the protagonist, walking through it, feeling as though you are truly there, discovering the story of the valley.
The Grey Hand, the artist, the woman, the child, the monk and the traveller. Everyone has a unique story and the mean behind them. With this end of SEASON.
Anyway, I really enjoy this game and it shows me a really grand perspective to think of those philosophical depth. Short but introspective:)
Season: A Letter to the Future is an enchanting, wistful narrative-led walking (bicycling?) sim about presence and gratitude.
Like all good science fiction it is not predictive but descriptive of the time it was made in. As our society bemoans the loss of many communal third spaces, finding online diasporas only goes so far. Season is a curious and tender reminder of what is lost and gained during a paradigm shift. Its poetic and patient approach to story exemplifies that hope and despair are but two sides of the same coin, merely skipping across the surface of the self, before we decide whether or not to make the choice to dive into the depths of discovery where conviction, sincerity and community flow.
The story is familiar and warming yet bittersweet, it makes the characters feel fleshed out.
Art style is also gorgeous and the lighting is amazing.
Left a void in my chest
9/10
only wish it were longer and we explored more areas, however, i like the ending and its message lots
it filled an empty space...
Really fun chill game, but wish there were more areas to explore. Similar vibe to 'fragile dreams' I enjoyed looking through the journal at the end of the game and seeing everything that I had collected!
Beautiful game, I enjoyed my time quite a bit with it. It has wonderful thoughts to share about the nature of memory, time periods, travelling, and more. This game was one of several things that pushed me back towards journaling more.
A couple things I loved: The reflective, slow pieces. The beauty of the world you inhabit. The depth of the lore. The characters.
A couple things that bothered me a little bit: Maybe this is just me, but I reached a point about halfway through where I was just slapping things on my journal. I also felt a little sad when I took a picture of something that seemed neat to me but didn't get a quote, like I was looking at the "wrong" things. Finally, there's two endings, and without spoiling it too much, I wish they diverged more.
Ultimately, I have a hard time suggesting this game at full price just because it's not that long. It is beautiful tho, so maybe that's just a matter of how much you value a beautiful 6 hour experience. At the very least, wishlist it and get it on sale.
If you like relaxing cozy games with a great story, Season: A Letter To The Future is for you! This beautiful game has a stunning art style, great characters and the writing and voice acting is phenomenal. Beautiful music too! The world is pretty big and loved exploring the story and beautiful landscape.
Gorgeous.
Gorgeous, chill game. If you're looking for something with beautiful graphics and a lovely but kind of sad story I think you'll enjoy this one.
absolute fire
I love how peaceful this game is + the visuals and story !
This game is a beautiful masterpiece. It's a meditation on memory and art, how that influences the world and how there is always meaning in it. If you are reading this I hope you take the time to play this game. It can be as short as an afternoon or you can spend months exploring it, that's up to you. Plus the 3D art in this game is amazing and I love it.
wow. im speechless. this game is so amazing and far different from anything i've ever played. i loved being able to design the diary pages and just stroll through the landscape in my pace, take photos and record sounds. it is soooo amazing but sadly it's a little short with a cliffhanger sort of :(
I will never forget the cow whose name was lost to time.
10/10 This game is an absolute gem. Everything about it is beautiful. The world and the story. The characters. The visuals. It just lives in my head rent-free.
Every little thing that we can appreciate in life, will pass quickly like a season.
Beautiful game, simple concept, the Ideas of seasons can be a bit vague but enjoyable non the less
棒
BEAUTIFUL narrative game both visually and story-wise. I love the flat local colors paired with the glowing ambient light - they make for such charming, cinematic cutscenes that are pushed further by the cinemascope aspect ratio. My only gripe is that I wish it were longer, especially since the game refers to multiple regions but only explores a couple of them.
Great game but laggy and frame rate drops on steam deck
It's a work of art!
The story, world, characters, and sounds are beautiful and interesting. The writing is excellent. I like the decisions I get to make and the things I get to do. The journal stamps are cute, and I love that I can edit journal pages. It is nice that the game categorizes your photos and sounds for you. My favorite part of the game is interacting with the cows. I wish I did not have to take specific photos in order to complete certain pages. Having to explore Tieng Valley in one "day" makes me feel rushed, so I wish there was some dialogue that told me to take my time. When taking photos, I have never understood how changing the focus improved the images at all, but maybe I'm just dumb. I might also like a general "landscape" page and "animals" page so I could add more photos of cows :)
A beautiful story with beautiful visuals
This was a beautiful game. A little short, But it was BEAUTIFUL. It's a shame it ended so soon, I wish it was more expansive so we could learn more about the world, it's past, and it's people. I loved the scrap-booking/journaling/photography elements. Looking forward to more games and stories from this developer! I got this game on sale, and for it's shortness, I think I'm happy about that. There's virtually no replayability for me, unless you want to redo some choices.
Also, I hope the cows got out.
There's a lot of heart in this one, lots of love put into the compositions around the world and the writing. Loooooove the journal mechanic, genuinely one of my favorite parts of the game. At times the game comes off very profound, and others a bit under-baked, but at all times it's easy to get swept up in the really unique world building. There's a lot to discover, document, and explore for the naturally curious.
All that being said, there are a few issues I have with the work. The bicycle really does control awful, even with a controller. At times I can feel the momentum they were going for, but most of the time I am taking wide turns into a rock that breaks the camera. There are multiple basic gameplay, animation, and visual bugs you'll come across as you play. Some of the voice acting is awkward, and I personally don't vibe with a few art style choices - particularly the more abstract people designs, certain font choices, and the speech bubble presentation. Nothing is game breaking, but it is all stuff that breaks immersion in a otherwise very immersive experience.
If you like the idea of just exploring and taking photos you'll probably enjoy it well enough, but if that's not appealing, then you might wanna skip this one. I am overall a bit sad to see the studio downsize after this title, this is a really unique game with a lot of heart, and I think it would've been nice to see more come from them.
Take your time, enjoy the beauty of it and bask in the story
Beautiful and extremely well-written game! so many great lines that will stick with me for a while... a must play for anyone who enjoys journaling or scrapbooking
I don't have anything interesting to say exept I played this on the steam deck and I encountered no glitches or problems, and it ran very well overall though sometimes the frames would drop a little bit for a few seconds.
Super cool game! I enjoyed every little bit it had to offer.
A rather melancholy game with a strange charm. I am sad it was so short. But it was quite beautiful and enjoyable
An underrated cozy game about preserving memories in between two eras. I'm not much for writing game reviews, but I felt compelled to write about this one.
The gameplay is simple: you walk, run and/or ride around different areas while using your camera, recorder and notebook to capture "memories". Your task is to compile your findings into set journal entries, which the game gives you freedom to arrange in any way you like. There IS an overall plot with a set ending, but this game is more about the journey and not the destination.
Note that this game was developed by a new studio, so expect it to have slightly less polish than your top of the mill indie game. That said, the art direction is impressive for their first game and more than makes up for the little kinks in performance. The environment is inviting, the character designs are zany, and there's some solid worldbuilding here in spite of the game's very short length. But it is a complete game.
With all that said, the game is very short relative to the original price tag. I strongly recommend picking it up during a sale if it at all interests you.
There is a section of the game that feels as though it might have a time limit. It does not, so take your time with it - you'll be able to do everything you want to.
Um jogo sobre passado, presente e futuro.
Sobre lembranças, vida e incertezas.
Sobre perdas, escolhas e esperança.
very good very niceee
A beautiful game with an amazing visual and an even better story. 10/10 would recommend.
This is a beautifully made slow game. You travel on your bike through beautiful and interesting landscapes and collect memories, pictures, things. Great voice acting, intriguing story, very relaxed vibe. This has to be your cup of tea and I think you also need to be in the mood for this. But when you are, this is very well made. I thoroughly enjoyed it, which I would not have expected.
This game is fantastic! Loved every minute of it. The visuals are stunning and the gameplay is fun. I wish it was at least triple the length so i could play more!
What a game... A once in a lifetime experience for sure. The themes presented and the emotional weight of it all just moved me in ways I didn't expect. I came to this game expecting a meditative and relaxing experience but it gave me so much more than that and inspired me to look at my surroundings from different angles while also giving me a lot more stuff to think and reminisce about. Really recommend giving this a shot. Especially if you don't have much experience "playing" games. This is an experience anyone should see through at least once in my humble opinion!
*dies* this game is so BEAUTIFUL!
i think this is an incredible game that is really beautiful and effective at what it's trying to make you feel, to the point where it just made me so upset i had to quit, for a time where i'm doing better lol
A stunning and beautiful game about memory and moving on.
My only real complaint is that while it is visually/artistically beautiful, it doesn't look good enough to justify its performance, the game is a unoptimized and on the Steam Deck, frequently dips to the 20s.
Lovely
The visuals are nice and are probably the best aspect of the game. The controls are a bit clunky and the journaling mechanic didn't do much for me. The voice acting is also pretty bad -- very monotonous. The story showed promise early but it was a bit pretentious and I lost interest in the game before I progressed through it too much.
What a beautiful game with breathtaking art and an emotional story. One of those games I wish I could forget just to play it all over again.
A beautifully crafted and poignant meditation on the nature of memory, connection, and impermanence. Peaceful and laid back, poetic and deeply human; the gameplay itself encourages us to slow down, to be curious, to savor the moment. Season hopes we will find the balance between preserving the past, creating a meaningful future, and simply experiencing the life in front of us moment to moment. This game was a piece of art and I hope to see more like it.
Such a treat to play this game, i'm notorious for starting and not finishing a game but this one i just couldn't stop playing. What a beautiful overall message and the art was something that came out of my inner thoughts of what i imagined a game that i would draw up to be.
What a beautiful game, it kept me engrossed that I wanted to explore as much as I could to unlock as much as I could. The story, while short, was great.
