A secluded village on the top of a hill, protected from the changing turmoil of the seasons. No one dared to leave the place until Estelle arrived. In his world, a season represents an entire historical period, an era. And towards the end of this season. The young woman leaves her home in an attempt to immortalize this moment for the benefit of those who will come in the future. Estelle will travel a diverse world known as observing life on the brink of an impending and mysterious change.
Its gameplay Season: A letter for the future Focuses on the progressive discoveries of the strange world surrounding exploration, recording, encounters and the protagonist. At any time you can get off the bike and carry a tool in your bag. Each of these objects is able to capture a different aspect of the environment: sound and music, art and architecture, the voices of older inhabitants, almost forgotten religious traditions, traces left by seasons in the distant past. Your tools will help you dig into these levels of knowledge until you are able to understand the culture, history and ecology behind this land.
The camera will be able to capture everything you observe. The directional microphone will record what you hear and then play it again. In addition, these recordings offer excellent food for thought and investigation that, along with Estelle’s insights and questions, will allow you to understand your surroundings. Use current recordings and get answers for the future.
Moments spent with other residents will prove to be fundamental. The crisis that they are going through, you will help them. In their lives, the change that is going to disrupt this world is not an abstract cause, but something immediate. They are trying to direct themselves, to find a way to survive. You will help them. You will perpetuate their memory. The results will be your choice and the importance of what you do will become clearer. By showing recordings of people you meet, you can get useful information or build a bond.
All these experiences will be collected in your diary, a testimony for the future where you will combine the pieces of a whole season into a coherent and organic whole. Your vision of what is happening, what you have seen and what you have done in your journey will gradually evolve through images and recordings. By registering, your inquiries and inquiries will be rewarded in ways you never imagined.
Thanks to the haptic response of the PlayStation 5’s dualsense controller, you’ll feel like you can feel the dirt under the wheels of your bike. Crossing the ups and downs of the hilly road, you will feel the resistance of the controller’s adaptive triggers and then you will be able to enjoy a comfortable descent. You don’t have to be on the main road: by deviating from the route you will come across secret places and new discoveries.
Start an introspective journey to discover the world of seasons, find answers for yourself and for those who will one day read your diary. Try your best to solve the big question: what is this season? And why is it over?
Season: In the autumn of 2022 a letter is coming for the future on PS5 and PS4.
