The particular texture of light in the Tieng Valley changes seven times. To walk from the entrance of the valley, to Assembly Point, where the valley really begins, takes fifteen minutes and forty-seven seconds, during which you will take around one thousand nine hundred and forty four steps over four thousand four hundred and eighty three feet. To ride your bike to each of the major landmarks in the Tieng Valley takes thirteen minutes and twenty-nine seconds. That would make things easier, and SEASON has no interest in making things easy. SEASON has no interest in abstracting the valley, either. This stellar area design makes the act of photographing the dying valley a melancholy joy. A forest filled with dim, electric light hums in the northeast, sunlight punching through the trees and accentuating the half-light of the bulbs. Bits of rubble form stunning, accidental arches above a refugee camp. The skeletal remains of an impossibly large highway loom over a small cow farm. The game has a masterful command of architecture and space. The valley, like every other part of SEASON is as dense and beautiful as it is fleeting. (It is also a game, we should point out, where current and former employees described the developer as a toxic workplace and “an environment hostile to women.”) Along the way is also a bittersweet, unexpectedly funny meditation on memory versus history, and the reconciling the end of the world with the knowledge that life will, somehow, go on. SEASON: A letter to the future is a game about fixing memory in place, and choosing what is lost. She must record the end of the season, a pseudo-apocalypse which describes the end of a historical era, using just a camera, a tape recorder, a journal, and most importantly, her (and your) judgment. This is not just an act of motherly love, but a reflection of Estelle’s role in her dying world: Estelle is an archivist, the first person to leave her small village of Caro in decades. This process destroys the memory, and Estelle’s mother makes the sacrifice in her daughter’s place. Looking to hunt more trophies?

While trophy hunters should find Season to be a breezy list to 100%, it’s worth noting that the game doesn’t come bearing a Platinum, unfortunately. Either way, it shouldn’t take the average player too terribly long to knock out everything that is asked of them in Estelle’s journey. There are 16 trophies to earn in the game, with some being automatic story unlocks and others requiring a little bit of extra effort by completing certain tasks while exploring the world. In addition to its compelling narrative, Season is a relatively straightforward game when it comes to its trophy list. With a gorgeous art style and interactive landscapes, fans of quiet and reflective experiences should find a lot to love about Estelle and her quest to leave a record behind. This pensive adventure title casts you as Estelle, a young girl who sets off on her bicycle to travel the world and document everything around her before an unknown event – referred to as the end of the season – potentially ends all existence. If you’re looking for a laid-back game to kickstart 2023, Season: A Letter to the Future may be right up your alley, and our trophy guide can help you get that 100%.
