The camera does have a few options in regards to zoom and filters, and can be accessed at any time. This can be done in two ways, either by camera or sound recorder, recording the sounds and environments of your travels, or shooting to film via your father’s camera. You can decide what is worth capturing, never to be forgotten. Each page is based on a location, some will require you to actually seek certain things to uncover more of the story but the majority is all player’s choice. This turns into a ‘create your own collectibles log’. This will be your trusty paper companion throughout the game, to collect for the future for whoever is reading. To document your journey, players are given a keepsakes log. Tieng is filled with depth and structure, from fields, to lakes, to forests and more. It’s now up to you to decide what the future may remember of Tieng. Some have already fled, some are reluctant to leave their roots and to abandon memories of a lifetime. The community will need to evacuate at Midnight. It is learnt that soon this will be washed away by a broken dam and the village will be completely destroyed. Your main expedition will be to a place called Tieng Valley. In a way that I can kind of decide where the chapters begin and end. I played the first few hours in a big dose, and I remember thinking to myself actually, I think I would really enjoy taking my time and playing this my way. This is a game that is meant to be savoured. If you speed through the game, biking everywhere, waiting until you get to some sort of plot point, you will likely take nothing in. You as the player will really make of it what you will in regards to how much you put in. This is purely explorative, other than the narrative itself. ![]() On the back of this being relaxing, there’s not really any strong objectives or linear aim to the game. This does become much more clear the more you play it, but it is much more of just having to accept that all is not meant to be clear immediately. I couldn’t quite tell at first between the parallels of why and what in regards of purpose. For me, it was very unclear what the ‘visions’ were, how everyone knew of them, how they came about, who was it, ect. On the same note, I will say that complexity is apparent from the start in not a very coherent way. The game itself has a very relaxing, atmospheric feel where it is easy to soak up the undertone of complexity. Once leaving your home to document the season, Estelle will travel by bike throughout luscious vibrant landscapes. ![]() SEASON: A letter to the future is a sponge filled with the meaning of memory.

One of the first orders of business is to create a special pendant designed to protect you whilst out on your journey to discover and document the end of a season. Already the game is filled with an emotive quality of a good story of a young girl trying to fulfil a “destiny”, or a prophecy of some sort, but has to deal with the enormity she may leave behind. She picks up her late fathers camera, just to take him along for the ride. These journeys run parallel, like a storybook before bedtime.Įstelle feels compelled to collect and gather what could be lost in the season and take it to the vault. On the other side of the journey, you are taking in what has already been found and saved. It’s quite unclear what that means to begin with but you comply, mostly out of curiosity. In the prophetic dream, an Elder had instructed the young girl that she had to take what she had collected to the end of the world, to a vault, as it’s the only place that is safe. SEASON is a parallel journey One of adventure and one of discovery. Could it turn the world inside out? I guess we’ll find out. This is something much more symbolic and ambiguous. What is this Season that is about to end? How will it affect everyone? This isn’t purely your Spring, Summer, Winter Autumn. Seasons have come and passed through life in this world for centuries, signalling a change. This dream indicates the end of a ‘Season’. ![]() In SEASON: A letter to the future you play as a young girl named Estelle who experiences a prophetic dream. ![]()
