    Calm and gentle game taking you on an journey of exploration and understanding. Seek out the changing world around you and discover it's lost secrets.

    Season is an excellent departure from your standard single-player adventures. There are no bad guys to stomp on. Only you, a recorder and a camera. You're job is to capture as much of the world around you as the Season changes.    Calm and gentle game taking you on an journey of exploration and understanding.

    I was a playtester for Season: A letter to the future and I cried during the test in front of the moderator because of the storytelling and ambiance, I cried again when I replayed it. I am truly in love with the story told by the narration, the fact that some things are blurry at the first sight but being clearer when we reach deeper in the history. Characters are fascinating and wellI was a playtester for Season: A letter to the future and I cried during the test in front of the moderator because of the storytelling and ambiance, I cried again when I replayed it. I am truly in love with the story told by the narration, the fact that some things are blurry at the first sight but being clearer when we reach deeper in the history. Characters are fascinating and well constructed with their own stories and personalities. The landscapes and graphic aspect are marvelous, I loved taking photographs of everything I see, even things that are just pretty and not a story's game related prop. The journal customization is very appreciable, I loved spending time put photographs by colorimetry, record songs I liked to hear, add texts and stickers that made a whole identity. The sound design is incredible, it make me emotional according to the visuals effects like in the raining map or when we are in the flower field. Like the painting related to an history aspect of human life, I loved and love travel in this universe endowed with his own personalities and secrets, I discover things I do not see in the first time I played, that make the come back more intense. I am personally in love with this game and its thematic and how everything is conducted.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game hit different than most I’ve played. An east paved atmospheric photography/scrapbooking game that hit a lot of feels. It was subtle in its themes that, to me, were about loss, memory, fear of change and connection. I really enjoyed this game! Definitely a calm easing experience that will make you reflect while also being a beautiful spectacle and an enjoyment to play!… Expand

    Affirming that this game is beautiful is redundant but I can't avoid it: what a marvelous visual delight! Gameplay is great, story and script are touching and heart warming. The soundtrack is simply amazing! This is a game to enjoy the ride, reflect about life and philosophize about existence. I couldn't recommend it more.

    I feel like calling SEASON "the Death Stranding of indie games". SEASON is a very meaningful game where you can deeply feel that loneliness, music, sounds and the feeling of "keeping memories alive".
