Seasons after Fall for PC, XONE and PS4 is an action-adventure game kept in a platform game style, in which we assume the role of a fox that attempts to restore the balance to the world of nature. The developer responsible for the game is Swing Swing Submarine, a French studio established in 2009, responsible for such titles as Block That Matter or Tetrobot and Co. The game has been released for personal computers and eight generation consoles.
Plot
The action of the game takes us to a world where normal seasons of the year are starting to disappear, causing great changes in the life of the forest and the whole nature. We assume the role of an amiable fox, which embarks on a journey to find four guardians of the seasons and restore the balance in the world. It’s not going to be an ordinary journey, as our protagonist wields great powers, allowing him to manipulate the environment.
Mechanics
The mechanics of the PC, XONE and PS4 released title draws heavily from the classic, metroidvania-style, platform games. The gameplay focuses on traversing subsequent locations (among others, forests, rivers, and caves) filled with more or less sophisticated obstacles. As the game progresses and we find next guardians of the seasons, our character absorbs their powers, which allows him to influence his surroundings and take care of the new puzzles. For example, we can freeze a rapid waterfall by summoning winter in order to cross to the other side. Calling spring can make the plants grow faster, with their stems used as new passages, allowing us to reach the previously unavailable areas.
Technical aspects
Seasons after Fall for PC, XONE and PS4 stands out from similar titles thanks to two-dimensional, hand drawn visuals made with a truly artistic touch, that are similar to classic cartoons. Another highlight of the title is the soundtrack, recorded by a string quartet.
