Season of 12 Colors is a gentle visual novel that places emotion, memory, and perspective at the center of its experience. Developed by 橘子班 and published by NVLMaker, it approaches storytelling on a deliberately intimate scale rather than attempting to overwhelm the player with complicated mechanics or an enormous cast. Its seasonal concept provides the foundation for a collection of short stories, with Summer: Message on the Paper Plane introducing the overall tone through childhood memories, promises, separation, and the seemingly ordinary moments that can remain important long after they have passed. The summer chapter immediately establishes a peaceful and nostalgic atmosphere. A girl dressed in white, a clear summer sky, and a paper plane form some of its most recognizable imagery. These simple elements become symbols of communication, innocence, distance, and remembrance. Rather than relying heavily on dramatic twists, the story allows small encounters and personal memories to create its emotional impact. There is a dreamlike quality to the presentation that suits the idea of looking backward at events that may no longer be remembered perfectly. One of the more interesting elements is the way the narrative explores events through different perspectives. Instead of presenting every detail in a straightforward chronological sequence, the story gradually reveals additional information that can change how earlier scenes are understood. Seeing circumstances from another character's viewpoint adds context to conversations and relationships that initially appear simple. This fragmented approach gives the experience a light mystery component, encouraging the reader to mentally assemble the complete sequence of events. Gameplay is extremely minimal, even compared with many visual novels. Reading is the main activity, so players expecting puzzles, exploration, combat, or elaborate interactive systems will not find them here. The appeal instead comes from discovering the complete narrative and understanding how the characters' individual memories connect. This makes the game accessible to newcomers to visual novels, although players who prefer frequent decisions or heavily branching storylines may find the experience restrictive. Visually, the game uses an anime-inspired presentation that complements its sentimental storytelling. Character illustrations and backgrounds favor a soft, inviting appearance rather than highly detailed realism. The overall aesthetic works particularly well with the summer setting because the bright environments contrast with the more bittersweet themes beneath the surface. Music and visual presentation are used primarily to reinforce mood, allowing quiet scenes to feel reflective without requiring elaborate cinematic sequences. The writing is most effective when dealing with the unreliability and incompleteness of memory. Childhood promises can appear simple when they are made, yet their meaning can change considerably with age and distance. Season of 12 Colors uses this idea to make relatively ordinary events emotionally significant. Its strongest moments are not necessarily major revelations but instances where newly discovered information changes the meaning of something the player has already witnessed. Its greatest limitation is also connected to its intentionally small scale. The short-story structure does not provide the same degree of character development or narrative complexity found in much longer visual novels. Some relationships and ideas could have benefited from additional time, especially because the multiple-perspective format has enough potential to support a larger narrative. Players who become invested in the characters may therefore find themselves wishing individual sections lasted longer. The game supports English text alongside Chinese language options, making its story accessible to English-speaking readers even though the complete voice presentation is not available in English. Its technical requirements are extremely modest, which is expected for a traditional visual novel focused primarily on text, illustrations, and audio. It also includes Steam features such as achievements, trading cards, Steam Cloud, and Family Sharing, providing a few additional conveniences beyond the core narrative. Steam Deck compatibility is currently best regarded as unverified rather than officially confirmed as Verified or Playable. Given the game's lightweight visual-novel design and modest system demands, it is not inherently demanding software, but the absence of an official Steam Deck compatibility rating means players should not interpret those characteristics as a guarantee that every aspect will function perfectly on the handheld. Text readability, controls, video playback, or other compatibility details can still influence the experience. Season of 12 Colors succeeds because it understands the value of restraint. It is not trying to be a mechanically elaborate adventure. Instead, it uses a paper plane, a summer sky, different viewpoints, and memories of childhood to construct a brief but thoughtful story about how people remember the past. The nonlinear presentation provides enough intrigue to distinguish it from a completely conventional visual novel, while its artwork and gentle atmosphere make it particularly suitable for readers who enjoy sentimental storytelling. As a whole, this is an appealing choice for players interested in short, atmospheric visual novels where emotional storytelling takes priority over gameplay. Its limited length and interaction prevent it from reaching the depth of larger narrative adventures, but the focused premise and perspective-driven structure give it an identity of its own. For readers willing to approach it as a quiet piece of interactive fiction rather than a traditional game, its exploration of memories and connections can leave a pleasant impression after the final scene. Rating: 8/10
One of the best visual novels you will ever read, the music is soothin, although it repeats, and may seem repetitive, it does add to the athmosphere and readthrough. The story itself is a heartwarming and quite sad story about time itself. It has a few sci-fi elements along with the main real life core. It feels nostalgic, and the art direction of the VN really adds to it. I would 100% recommend this to everyone, its only 2.99, its short (honestly it felt a bit too short, when i finished i wanted to read more and more) absolutely worth your time.
Premise A brief yet meaningful narrative journey that can be fully completed in just 97 minutes. Its heartfelt storytelling, emotional depth, and artistic presentation create a memorable experience that encourages reflection, emotional connection, and a greater appreciation for the fleeting nature of time. This short yet emotionally resonant narrative experience follows the intersecting lives of three distinct protagonists: Mr. Rabbit, the girl who vanished in time, and the girl who became lost and trapped within it. Designed for players who appreciate reflective storytelling and artistic presentation, the journey explores the value of cherishing fleeting moments despite hardship and loss. Story and Themes The central objective is to explore the lives of the three protagonists, encouraging them to treasure every precious moment and to smile sincerely, even in the face of pain and adversity. The narrative presents time as an unstoppable current that flows inexorably toward the future, never looking back. Throughout the journey, it thoughtfully examines themes of grief, loneliness, companionship, the inevitability of change, the relentless passage of time, and the emotional struggle between holding on to the past and embracing the future. Presentation and Audio A mesmerizing, heartfelt soundtrack greatly enhances the emotional impact, reinforcing its reflective atmosphere. The fluent, smooth, and melodic Mandarin voice acting further strengthens immersion, making each story feel intimate, genuine, and emotionally sincere.
