A gorgeous game that lets you explore ideas of nostalgia and coming to peace with things ending. Characters immediately capture you, whether through their brilliant designs, or their unique take on (the end of) the world, or just the fact that they'd be perfect to photograph just there . The freedom you're given to take the game at your own pace is so wonderful -- you can take as long as you want, but your built-in ability to take notes and visual reminders means you'll never forget what you're up to. If I had one gripe with the game, it's that I wish we could have written our own things in the scrapbook now and then, but I understand why that's a freedom we weren't given. This game's artistic force is so strong, the voice of the main character so clearly written, that to give the player a blank page would diminish that character somewhat. I found this game through Jacob Geller's video on "Art in the Pre-Apocalypse", then promptly forgot about it for a couple of years so that I had a chance to forget the spoilers discussed in the video. I don't think I needed to -- this game stands so strongly in its essence that to be "spoiled" is really no big deal. You could know the plot of SEASON back to front, inside out, upside down, and still not understand what makes it incredible without experiencing it. This game knows what it wants to do, and lets you do it in Your way. Play this game if you want an excuse to meditate. Play this game if you played Disco Elysium and were enraptured to the concept of the Pale. Play this game if you're missing someone, or something, or somewhen. Play this game if you want to look at the world with new eyes.

I haven't left a Steam review before. But I really found this game to be quite unique and very impactful. I was expecting something cute and relaxing, like Stray or A Short Hike, but I found this narrative to be a much more poignant and unique. It explores some subjects and questions that I haven't encountered in this medium before- what does it mean to remember things? What does it mean for time to march on as we get more and more wrapped up in the past? Are memories gifts or burdens? These questions were asked in very interesting ways, and were presented through some surprisingly tight worldbuilding and artistic direction. I especially enjoyed how the design of the world let me infer things about it, with very little obvious exposition. I felt as though this setting let me get to know it in my own time. With that in mind, this is largely a walking simulator, although with more gameplay elements than some other games. The bike and camera components feel nice and functional, which is all they need to be. There is no complex control scheme. Lots of the "gameplay" revolves around building your journal as you travel through the world, which I found to be pretty fun because I love journaling :) Anyways, I don't think it is for everyone, but if you like games that are patient, cozy, and thoughtful, I think this is easily worth the cost. I'd put it on the level of, like, Journey, or What Remains of Edith Finch. Ultimately, I found this game to be cathartic and hopeful and would recommend anyone gives it a go to see what meaning they can create from it.

I am extremely sad that I have finished this game. It made me travel through so many sceneries and stories, it made me laugh, it made me cry. This is a beautiful game, thank you so much for developping it.

There are few games that make you stop, take a deep breath, and simply exist in a moment. Season: A Letter to the Future is one of them. It’s more than just a game—it’s an experience, a meditation, a quiet invitation to slow down and truly see the world around you. From the moment I stepped into Estelle’s shoes, leaving behind the safety of her home to document a world on the verge of change, I felt a strange sense of reverence. Unlike many games that push you forward with objectives and challenges, Season encourages stillness. It doesn’t just allow you to pause and observe—it insists on it. It asks you to listen to the wind, capture the distant echo of laughter, and preserve fleeting beauty before it disappears forever. The gameplay is simple: you travel by bicycle, stopping to take photographs, record sounds, and write in your journal. But beneath this simplicity lies something deeply profound. The act of documenting—of looking, listening, and feeling—becomes a spiritual practice. It reminded me of the way we move through life, often rushing past moments we’ll never get back. But Season doesn’t let you rush. It teaches you to be present. There were times when I put the controller down just to watch the environment—sunlight filtering through trees, water reflecting the sky, the gentle hum of life in the distance. The art style, soft and dreamlike, feels like a memory being painted in real time. The music, subtle yet evocative, carries the weight of nostalgia and longing. More than anything, Season left me with a sense of peace. It made me reflect on the impermanence of things, on the importance of preserving what matters—not just in photographs or journals, but in memory, in feeling, in the quiet spaces of the heart. I walked away from this game with a renewed appreciation for the present moment. For the little things—the warmth of a morning sun, the rhythm of my own breath, the stories we carry with us. Season is not just a game to play, but a world to step into, to breathe in, to remember. And for that, I’m grateful. ⭐️ 10/10 ⭐️

A beautiful game. As someone who has lost a loved one recently, the game has really pulled at my heartstrings. A good game that you can probably finish faster and in one session, but taking your time with the game really makes it better. There was a tiny issue in the last part where things would not render properly, but I just reset the game and it was all fine. You can probably play it again but the first time will be the most memorable.
