SEASON: A Letter to the Future is set to be released on January 31. Developer Scavengers Studio offers a new trailer focused on the "emotional and thought-provoking world and story" that players will experience in just a couple of weeks.
SEASON: A Letter to the Future is an atmospheric adventure game coming to PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 for $29.99 (USD). A PC release is also coming at the same time via Steam and Epic Games Store. The PC release will go for $24.99. There will be a 10% discount from this cost for PlayStation Plus users as well as a 10% launch week discount on your preferred PC platform.
In SEASON: A letter to the future, you play as a young woman from a secluded village exploring the world by bike for the first time, collecting memories before a cataclysm washes everything away. SEASON is a quest to discover a new world; one unknown yet familiar. Document, photograph, and record life as you find it, while you still can.
In addition to the story trailer, the studio also shares more about some of the key characters players will encounter during their journey:
Kochi, a young boy, takes you on a bicycle tour of a valley the day before it is flooded.
Maytora, an outsider artist, documents the story of the valley through her sculptures. You’re the only witness to her final piece.
Easel is the last monk of Tieng Valley. Left behind by his teachers and friends, Easel awaits the change of the season in isolation, with nothing to pray for until you arrive.
You support them through moments of quiet crisis. In their lives, the change coming to the world is not abstract, it is immediate. They are trying to navigate, to survive, to find a way to live. You help them. You remember them.
The gameplay of SEASON: A letter to the future focuses on exploring, recording, meeting others, and unraveling the strange world around you. At any point, you can hop off your bike and equip a recording tool from your bag. Each captures a different element; sounds and music, art and architecture, voices of old people, vanishing religious practices, the traces of seasons long past. Your tools help you examine the world more closely until you’re able to grasp the culture, history, and ecology underneath everything.​
