Seasons After Fall is a 2D platform-puzzler game that will let you dive into a captivating universe and explore a land governed by magic and nature. As a wild fox you are sent on a perilous journey aided only by your ability to change the seasons at will, manipulating a gorgeous 2D world backed by an enchanting live string quartet.
The power of nature is in your paws as you make your journey across this mysterious world full of strange flora and fauna. Each of the seasons have a drastic change on the environment: it is up to you to change the world and open new paths. Winter can freeze waterfalls, and the rain from Spring can raise water levels, while Summer can cause some plants to grow and extend. The world of Seasons After Fall is overflowing with secrets, can you uncover the truth?
Something feels weird in this forest. In order to complete your quest, you must use your mystical abilities to meet the Guardians and gain their powers. The four Guardians of the Seasons are gigantic totemic spirits and protectors of a mysterious sacred ritual: the Bear for Winter, the Crane for Autumn, the Eel for Spring, and the Cicada for Summer. But are they allies? Or enemies?
Discover a world brought to life by stunning hand-painted graphics and original music performed by a string quartet. Visit enchanted vistas and sceneries while the music, the mood, and the atmosphere change seamlessly with the seasons.
I recommend playing it with the french audio (and English subs of course), I found it more in par with the visual style.
Do not expect a masterpiece, as some game design elements could be better executed, if I am to be objective.
Get it on discount, and enjoy!
The art is really captivating, but the jump is lagging, and I cannot tolerate that, I am not a hardcore platformer.
Maybe I revisit later, the graphic design and the music are so nice. But not soon, unfortunately.
I would like to address one comment some one made about controls. Something about wanting the fox to be lighter or something. The controls of this game are very fluid, with a rather high jump for such a little fox. I actually find the controls rather fun and it's one of the reasons I love coming back to this game
The voice acting, while limited to two characters, is very good. The look of the game is amazing and well crafted.
Only minor issues one might have is that you do have to revisit the areas again though often new sections open up. The one puzzle is a little tricky and the one memory can be a little hard to find. There are enough places on line, though, to help with these minor problems.
I was looking forward to this but I can't really play it. It looks cute, if simplistic, but the controls are very delayed. That could be something I could learn to live with but the game also stutters. Originally it dropped frames any time I used the bark but after fiddling with the graphics settings it wouldn't do that but would regularly stutter during normal play. That was too much. I've seen the same complaints on elsewhere, so it's not because I was running it through WINE.
