This gentle puzzle platformer game intricately expresses rich and beautiful color schemes across diverse landscapes, each uniquely tailored to the seasons, utilizing the enchanting scenery of the forest and the dynamic shifts of the four seasons. It's gorgeous!

It's a whimsical little experience.
Yeah, sure. It's kinda basic, the puzzle's in the spring section feel more like a chore than they do feel engaging. HOWEVER, I got a lot of enjoyment just from getting to be a little fox prancing around, and I think that says a lot.
Would recommend. It goes on sale for pretty cheap so I'd recommend grabbing it then at least :)

This game, oh, where do I even begin.
I first played this game when I was a young teenager with a less than desirable comprehension of English, but I fell in love with it back then for its absolutely STUNNING visuals and charming soundtrack. It is vibrant and fluid, with a nice hand-painted touch. Besides, you get to play as a cute little fox and control the seasons, and what is not to love about it?
Some time ago I replayed it, and it still remains one of those experiences I hold very dear to my heart. I rarely enjoy platformer-style games but this one CAPTIVATED me, and, despite feeling a bit maze-y and confusing at some parts, I never felt really stuck.
The storyline and the ending had me in SHAMBLES I tell you. The twists, the shifts of tone, all of it felt so well strung together, and I will admit this game DID make me cry, and I found the story and emotions of The Seed strangely relatable
Either way, this is one of my comfort games and it never loses its charm no matter how many times I come back to it.
It is oh so great and I love it oh so much, what else is there to say?

An adorable game with stunning visuals. I enjoyed every moment I spent in it (except for trying to find what I missed on the way to activating the last altar.... Turned out I forgot to use one of the wind stones). If someone were to ask me which fantasy world I'd like to live in, I'd choose the forest in Season after Fall.

One of the most relaxing and easily played games, and actually when I think more... it is the #1. Everything around this game is simply adorable.
- The main character with running and jumping around, especially the animation when it barely grabbed the ledge and climbs up, that is simply so nice to watch and just enjoy.
- Graphics is so good at so many locations, that I had spent almost 20%-30% of game time just to stand in place, watch the colors and enjoy the view. It is really top quality design and proves that even little team of developers and designers (4-5 as I count in credits) can create such nice experience and simply... art.
- Switching of seasons (what this game is all about) is amazing and really immersive feeling
- Game world is nicely created, it is not small to be bored and not big to lose yourself. It fits setting perfectly to make you like it and enjoy it by remembering which parts you visited without the need for maps.
- Puzzles are also very well balanced and actually nothing is hard in this game.
- Not a single issue, everything was so easy to play and navigate
One neutral thing to mentions is that at the start I didn't like that feeling of slow reaction to button press and that made me miss some jumps, but very fast you get used to it. It is nothing negative. Actually maybe its a part of intended design, so that the game makes you play more with slower pace, and not like those quick reaction games, and fast controls can boost that feeling.
Simply a must play for everyone who wants to just enjoy a game with awesome art and just to relax with normal game free of any combat and violence. 10/10

A very relaxing game : the music is calm and flows well with the game and everything is very aesthetically pleasing visually. The story is nice and developed, and the voice actors did a very great job : everything is just so relaxing, and overall you're just having a great time.
Gameplay-wise, it's a lot of back-and-forth, sometimes getting a bit redundant unfortunately, especially considering the speed of your fox - and even more so when the levels are a bit maze-like (be it by the layout or the confusing backgrounds that can sometimes tend to all look the same in some areas) - which is a lot of the panels unfortunately.
The game can sometimes get a bit laggy depending on the specs of your PC, but nothing lowering the resolution/windowing the game can't fix.
Seasons after fall can be entirely completed in 6-7 hours (which you really don't feel passing), but wanting to unlock everything/100% the achievements makes it more of a 9-10h full completion (not counting the back-and-forths and getting lost).
Overall a classic relaxing game with a bittersweet story. The whole experience is very calming and enjoyable, and again I insist on how beautiful the game is (even more considering that you can play with your favourite season active for most of the game and switch only when needing to interact with elements, so you get to enjoy your favorite color palette for a while ! :) )
Seasons after Fall is definitely a must-play, way worth the price and still holding on strong after the years, which is a rare thing for a game of this price range.
