The premise of SEASON is simple enough on paper travel around exploring and interacting with people you may encounter on your journey. I’m mostly a visual novel gamer, so I need a really good story to keep me invested in a game. And as someone who can’t actually ride a bike, this is the closest I’m ever going to get to going an epic bike quest. The team really went all out to make it feel like you’re on this journey with Estelle. Then there’s a feature that lets you feel the texture of the ground change as you cycle over different terrain with the DualSense wireless controller’s haptic feedback. You use the L2 and R2 triggers to pedal your bicycle and thanks to the adaptive trigger feature the resistance will vary depending on your speed and the steepness of the road. And SEASON does have some pretty unique features that make the experience super immersive.

I went with the Playstation 5 version of the game (I figured using a controller would be easier than figuring out keyboard controls, or mapping my pro controller) and it’s super simple. I kinda thought the controls of SEASON would be a bit out of my comfort zone, but I was pleasantly surprised by how easy it was to figure everything out. My first stream of the game took 4 1/2 hours and I’m barely halfway through the game and the bulk of that was spent snapping photos of pretty skylines and petting ALL THE ANIMALS. SEASON can take anywhere from 6 to 12 hours, depending on how fast you cycle through the various locations, though, you are highly encouraged to take your time. Your tools help you examine the world more closely until you’re able to grasp the culture, history, and ecology underneath everything. Equip a multi-feature recording tool from your bag, which captures a different element sounds and music, art and architecture, voices of old people, vanishing religious practices, the traces of seasons long past. Your journey is completely your own.Īt any point in the game, you can hop off your bike and truly give yourself over to this immersive world. Whether that’s recording the sound of a torrential downpour, taking a photo of a seemingly insignificant abandoned bus stop, stopping to pet some goats, or just staring out at a beautiful sunset in the mountains. While your “main objective” is to collect snippets of the world around you and jot them down in your journal, what you choose to document is completely up to you. Step into the shoes of Estelle, a young woman who chooses to leave her secluded mountaintop village on a quest to explore and document the sights, sounds, feelings, experiences, and people of her world for future generations.
