SEASON: A letter to the future Reviews
With such fast paced lives these days, Season A letter to the future reminds us to stop pedaling, get off our bike and take in the wonder and beauty of the world around us.
Season is a game with a great many messages hidden throughout a simple yet impactful story. For me, it is a story about grief, memories, hope and connections. It’s a reminder to appreciate the little things this world has to offer, and how fragile they really are. It’s about the bonds we form with people – from strangers to family. It’s about how the future is uncertain and yet thrilling and exciting and out there waiting.
Season is a phenomenal work, not just the classic little pearl, but an all-round videogame experience capable of exciting, telling, immersing us in the last moments of a reality that could end, change, change. A mechanism of memorization and movement within towns, villages and glimpses of nature of disarming beauty.

SEASON: A letter to the future is just a beautiful game. It’s a game that comes highly recommended to anyone who enjoys narrative games with a strong focus on exploration. A narrative-oriented exploration game where it’s just you, the desolate world, and your ever-present, trusty bicycle.
Season: A Letter to the Future offers a beautiful and emotional journey of discovery as you witness a world that’s about to be reborn. There’s plenty to see, learn, and do along the way, with it hard not to feel a sense of emotional attachment to the world you’re leaving behind. It all makes for a deeply memorable experience though, and one that players can shape in their own little ways. It's not perfect, but I certainly won’t be forgetting my time with Season: A Letter to the Future anytime soon.

SEASON: A Letter to the Future is an unforgettable story about the power of memories—how joyful it can be to make them, and how painful it can be to lose them. It has rough edges. The story asks more than it answers, and the game feels too short for a journey of its magnitude, but these flaws only confirm what I already believe—that I wish there was more of this brilliant game. Whether you’re a lover of adventure games or simply looking to lose yourself on a mystical journey, SEASON has plenty it’s willing to show you.
The visually stunning and thoughful Season: A Letter To The Future encapsulates what it means to be alive - and that's something worth writing home about.
Season: A Letter to the Future is a unique narrative experience, reminding us how precious every single moment of life is as we face a season on the verge of its end.

An immersive scrapbooking journey to record the ending of a season and the dawning of the next one.
Season: A Letter to the Future is a poetic, melancholy rite of passage experience like no other. Its take on facing the end of the world is about preserving what was rather than trying to survive what will be, and is all the better for it.
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".
