"Seasons After Fall"
"Seasons After Fall"
Seasons After Fall was a very pleasant surprise. I really heard no one talking about it at all, so didn't expect much from it. So when I first started it up, and gazed upon the beautiful painted world i was in awe. Seasons after Fall truly is one of the most beautiful Indie games I have ever played. It looks hand painted, and, just like a masterpiece of art. It doesn't stop there , because the soundtrack would fall into the same place. It as well is very much just a wonderful piece of art. Beautiful string sections play as you make your way along your quest.
You play as a beautiful fox that is taken over by a by a strange sprite that gains the power of the seasons. You go on a quest to discover the guardians of the seasons. Bear for Winter, the Crane for Autumn, the Eel for Spring, and the Cicada for Summer. Each one of these powers lets you change the weather, which drastically changes the appearance of the maps, and it is just glorious to look at. Things like Autumn winds helping lift things off the ground to raise you to higher places, spring rain to raise the water levels, and winter to freeze the water making you able to run on it. It is easy to get lost in this beautiful world, and I don't mean just in entertainment aspect, there are many twists and turns that have you lost at times. There are no enemies though, and it is impossible to die. I guess for some that doesn't sound to exciting, but it is. It is one of those games that you can just relax, and play for hours without a ton of stress.everything about it is just pure relaxation.
I really loved this game, and it reminds me of a lot of classic Indies that have captured game of the year awards like "Ori and the Blind Forest" I really feel in my opinion it is pretty close to that level of greatness. I will without a doubt remember this game for years to come. From the beautiful backgrounds, to the amazing voice actors, to the delightful music, and sounds. Seasons after Fall is pretty darn close to a masterpiece.
