A promising and pretty platformer with an enticing premise that loses its focus after a while. The primary reason why I stuck with Seasons After Fall for as long as I did was that it’s a very aesthetically pleasing game. It’s in the same vein as “Ori” with its forest settings, painted artwork, tweened animation, and parallax scrolling. There’s also some nice music in here. The game starts out slow and remains …

Seasons After Fall is a beautiful game with lovable fox and a sweet story. The art and the music are lovely and the voice acting is professionally done. The game has full controller support which was appreciated because I currently have my right hand (including 3 fingers) in a cast. I think this would be a tough game to play with a keyboard and mouse, even with two hands! This a very complicated landscape that can …

This game, oh, where do I even begin. I first played this game when I was a young teenager with a less than desirable comprehension of English, but I fell in love with it back then for its absolutely STUNNING visuals and charming soundtrack. It is vibrant and fluid, with a nice hand-painted touch. Besides, you get to play as a cute little fox and control the seasons, and what is not to love about it? Some time ago I …

I would definitely recommend this game to at least try. It's beautiful, has a great soundtrack, a really fun and clever season switching mechanic. But I could not make myself finish this game. Once the full map opens up, you have absolutely no idea where to go, the game doesn't give you any sort of map - and after unlocking the next progression point needed, it just gives you a cutscene and hopes that you remember …

This gentle puzzle platformer game intricately expresses rich and beautiful color schemes across diverse landscapes, each uniquely tailored to the seasons, utilizing the enchanting scenery of the forest and the dynamic shifts of the four seasons. It's gorgeous!

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Season After Fall is a small game in scope, but one that leaves a surprisingly lasting impression thanks to its artistic identity, its atmosphere, and the elegance of its design. It is a 2D adventure-puzzle game in which you play as a fox, and that simple idea is enough to give the whole experience a very clear personality from the start. What makes it stand out is not complexity, but intention: every element feels carefully shaped, and the result is a game that knows exactly what it wants to…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Platinum #153 Seasons After Fall Difficulty: 2/10 Hours: 6 Super chill relaxing game. Don't even worry about trophies, just enjoy it and then do a couple clean up trophies after the story is complete. #PlatinumTrophy #SeasonsAfterFall
positive · AI labelView post →I want to preface by saying that I liked this game. It is very pretty, it's casual (for the most part), it has VERY good chamber music for the soundtrack. However, I really think my review boils down to: Have you played Ori and the Blind forest and/or Will of the Wisps? No: play those Yes: Were you left wanting more? Yes: Play seasons after fall No: on your way then. Seasons after fall really is like a little brother to the Ori series in what it tries to say and achieve, but unless…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →There are aspects of this game that I really love. The graphics are beautiful. The atmosphere is excellent. The overall feel of the game is lovely. But there are flaws... perhaps a lack of polish, perhaps otherwise, that leaves me just not able to recommend it. The game isn't huge, but the environments are a little samey, and you don't see a wide area of each screen (you also can't look to see what's above or below you in any way). Despite this, there is a LOT of backtracking and going…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I must start with the positive: the game is stunningly beautiful. Running through the forest during all seasons is a feast for the eyes. The fox we control is very cute, too. Unfortunately, this is about where the positive ended for me. I started playing this game primarily because I wanted to _relax_ after a very streessful month. In a sense, the game answered this one requirement perfectly, because it was not challenging or demanding in any way. You cannot die, you cannot fail or lock…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This review is based on 100% completion and 6.6 hours of gameplay. Recommendation: Would I recommend this game? Absolutely. This is a lovely, relaxing game with a unique and beautiful aesthetic. The art style is something to truly appreciate. However, it’s important to note that not everyone will enjoy this type of game. There’s no action, and it’s highly narrative-driven. But if you’re looking for something to chill out with and simply enjoy, this is perfect. The game’s unique style gave me…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A decent platformer with beautiful visuals and art. However, it lacks certain elements like map navigation. Sometimes you feel a bit lost and don't know what exactly you have to do or where to go. Still giving the thumbs up, because it's short and overall a solid game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If I could I would give a neutral review of this game, because it's not really a bad game, so I feel kind of bad giving it a negative review. However, I feel like if I have to choose between recommending it and not, I personally would not recommend it to my friends. I'll start with the pros: - Pretty good music - Decent art style - Ambience is kind of pleasant sometimes Here's what I didn't like: - The first half of the game feels like a drawn out tutorial - "Puzzles" are not…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a simple, and perhaps slightly repetitive game, which I know may be a turn off for many players, but it is a beautiful game, and for me it's a wonderful way to untwist my thoughts and find a sort of grounded peace for a few hours every couple years, once its been long enough that I've forgotten the solutions to the puzzles and can replay with a pretend blindness. The soundtrack is a masterpiece, gentle drone notes with strings sparkling throughout, and the artwork brings a sort of…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game #05 // Seasons After Fall A simplistic indie platformer with some light metroidvania discovery. Love the art style and the season changing mechanic is a cool way to add depth to the minimal amount of locations. #2025GamesComplete
positive · AI labelView post →I was really excited to play this game because the art and music are absolutely beautiful but I was ultimately forced to drop it. The game is frequently buggy, with unclear direction and confusing platforming and progression. If you have a higher tolerance for non-linear games, this may be for you but it really wasn't for me

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Seasons After Fall deserves a neutral rating if I could give it. It has okay visuals, thematic areas, a nice simple story underneath, and a fox. The problem is it lacks polish. Quicklist of minor issues: Graphics 1080p max. Delayed response controls (about half a second delay pushing jump on a wired controller). No map function (would have easily made this less of a chore over multiple sessions). No journal/quest log (ditto over multiple sessions). Two very tedious puzzles that may be…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a whimsical little experience. Yeah, sure. It's kinda basic, the puzzle's in the spring section feel more like a chore than they do feel engaging. HOWEVER, I got a lot of enjoyment just from getting to be a little fox prancing around, and I think that says a lot. Would recommend. It goes on sale for pretty cheap so I'd recommend grabbing it then at least :)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It feels criminal that you can get a game as gorgeous and charming as Seasons After Fall for just £1.34. I’ve seen more expensive bars of chocolate!
positive · AI labelView post →A gentle adventure told like a children’s story, revolving around the forest, emotions, and growing up. The entire game is hand-drawn, which gives it a lot of charm. The soundtrack is light and pleasant, and it fits the experience very well. Gameplay-wise, it’s a mix of platforming and puzzles. Unfortunately, it feels a bit dated. While controlling the character is fairly enjoyable, puzzle-solving can sometimes feel slow. The game often requires backtracking and activating multiple…

It is very, VERY buggy and the control is Always at a degree of delay that will make you reconsider your relationship with platformers as a genre. That being said, it is soul-crushingly beautiful, both in visual and in soundtrack, but it is SO PAINFUL TO PLAY. Play it, but only if you like hurting yourself. I sinserely hope that it will be patched up and fixed because if not…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Repetitive and boring. Pretty.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This lovely game unfolds like a tale, a gentle story set in a charming forest, filled with spirits and mysteries. The gameplay is built around a simple idea, the control of the seasons, but doesn’t stop at just heating, freezing, or making things bloom. The different powers are interesting and are used thoughtfully in the various puzzles you encounter. The game shows its age a little: by today’s standards, it can feel somewhat slow, especially at the beginning. But if you give it a chance,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The jump mechanic in this game is so terrible, it really needs work! After I collected all the season spirits and was working on the 3rd stone, I just gave up. There's no reason a game mechanic shouldn't work in regular gameplay. I was stressed out because the jump mechanic is so janky and half the time the platforms don't recognize you're jumping on them. It's a cute game, but I can't recommend this, for any age. There's a clear difference between striving in a game to over come challenges…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a good looking, but very strange "game". There is basically no game, but rather long run marathons through lenghty confusing levels with zero hints. There is no help either - you cannon see what is your current mission and what was already done/discovered. As a result you must run and run and run and run again. The exact case of situation when form beats meaning. Sadly wasted time.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's a beautiful game with awesome music and great narration, so why am I not recommending it? I just agree with all of the other reviews, it's boring, I've tried 3 times and every time I had to put the game down after some time because it wasn't very interesting It does have decent puzzles, interesting mechanics and okay controls, but they're just not being used well The map design in my opinion is flawed, and it shows as I got lost so many times throughout my gameplay And being so…

neutral · AI labelView post →Seasons After Fall is a beautifully crafted indie puzzle-platformer that offers a unique and tranquil journey through a mystical forest. Developed by Swing Swing Submarine and published by Focus Entertainment, the game invites players to step into the paws of a clever fox imbued with the magical ability to control the changing seasons. The premise centers on restoring balance to the natural world by recovering lost fragments of each season, a narrative woven subtly through the game's…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This adventure puzzle platformer has a nice graphical style and is cute. What I dislike though up to the point of rage quitting are the bad controls/mechanics. Jumping and changing directions feel irresponsive so I regularly just ran over a cliff instead of making a tight jump. In most cases this means you are reset to a prior position and have to redo a bunch of stuff. This is made worse by the core mechanic of changing seasons being a rather slow process every time you have to do it so…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →After going through my library of games, I came back across this. A gem of a platformer that, while simple in its design, can lead you to explore the beautiful landscape to soak up the atmosphere while trying to figure out what you've yet to find next. Despite that though, the lack of a map can really hinder progress as you try to figure out where you've been, and how you get back to where you were an hour ago. But, the lack thereof is also a part of it's charm, too. In a way, it hearkens back…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is beautiful and has really lovely and vibrant artworks and cute animations, but... I am honestly just not enjoying it. The game play is repetitive and I find myself incredibly bored. My mind wanders to all the other things I could be going instead of being disinterested. Often you are just making the fox run left or right to see the pretty recycled scenery and nothing of import happens. The controls feel pretty bad to be honest. There are 5 actions (run left, run right, jump, bark…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Looks cute, but i couldn't get what it was about. But main problem are janky controls and repetitive gameplay. Nothing really happens and you wander from X to Y. Also it's a "Where TF do i go" type of game
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Adorable little game, very fun and great art style
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →An adorable game with stunning visuals. I enjoyed every moment I spent in it (except for trying to find what I missed on the way to activating the last altar.... Turned out I forgot to use one of the wind stones). If someone were to ask me which fantasy world I'd like to live in, I'd choose the forest in Season after Fall.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Cute puzzle game. Gorgeous visuals, beautiful audio. Unfortunately, some of the puzzle mechanics feel a bit cryptic at first …
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A very relaxing game : the music is calm and flows well with the game and everything is very aesthetically pleasing visually. The story is nice and developed, and the voice actors did a very great job : everything is just so relaxing, and overall you're just having a great time. Gameplay-wise, it's a lot of back-and-forth, sometimes getting a bit redundant unfortunately, especially considering the speed of your fox - and even more so when the levels are a bit maze-like (be it by the layout or…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I guess it's supposed to be like a cozy casual yada yada. There's no way to die/lose. So yeah, there's no stakes basically. Story is ok. Art is nice. Gameplay is just a little too wonky. Lack of map absolutely kills me. Not for me.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It has BEAUTIFUL artwork, the sound design is really nice, the little fox you play as is adorable- OH. MY. GOD. the platforming (the main mechanic of the game) is HORRIBLE. Sometimes when you press jump it just... doesn't happy! So then you fall all the way back down and have to make your way back up. And then you fall back down because the jump button isn't working. I want to say that I'm not just writing a bad review because I'm personally crappy at the parkour. I've played a few other…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I would really like to recommend this game, but I just can't. It has a really beautiful art style, and the music is also quite nice. But it commits the ultimate sin of being a platformer with smushy and delayed inputs. It feels horrible to play. In the end, the summer spirit firefly puzzle did it for me.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A couple of years ago I came up with a KK-like game with friends that we do every year which i call Game (G)Exchange or GG where we each get assigned a person to buy a game for that we like, then discuss it at new years. Last year was Small Saga, This year I got 2! Absolum and Seasons After Fall 👀
neutral · AI labelView post →This takes way too long for everything, despite it being pretty and with a neat soundtrack and all. It just makes you do weird backtracking too much. Getting lost is super easy. Could not be bothered to finish.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →What a little gem this game is! Simple and easy, but full of entertainment. Story is good, music is lovely, characters are relatable, world is gorgeous, achievements are relatively easy, puzzles are lightly challenging, and controls are simple (though jumping can be a bit finicky). Some areas can be a bit confusing to navigate as you don't get a map but overall it's not that tedious to traverse. Definitely recommend picking this one up. 8/10 Adorable yips
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →An artwork in game shape. Absolutely lovely. Well-paced with responsive controls. The story is intriguing but leaves enough to ones own imagination to 'complete' the plot. The biggest perk, imo, is that the platforming isn't too difficult, but that figuring out your way around is the challenging part. Both at the same time would have been too much and may have resulted in a tedious gameplay. But the focus on the puzzling balances the experience while still giving one mental space to…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Seasons after Fall is a very simple and straightforward platformer. There is backtracking involved, but I do not think this game could be considered a metroidvania. Yet, the main mechanic is complex enough that you do not fall asleep playing it. I think it is alright and that it could be a great entry-level platformer for beginners.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's pretty. It's boring. It's pretty boring.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →My experience was a bit mixed. I's day, if you don't mind some frustration and have a lot of patience, maybe you'd wanna play this game. It is visually stunning and has a nice story. The ending fell a little flat for me(probably personal taste), but all in all it was a solid experience. The downside is the lack of guidance, questlog or any sort of help when you're stuck. The areas you run around in are huge and lack landmarks for orientation. I ended up searching for things a LOT and spent…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Seasons after Fall impresses at first glance with its beautifully dreamy art style and atmospheric soundtrack. Without a doubt, the game’s strongest point is its ambiance. Unfortunately, this impression wears off over time. Although the visual presentation is crafted with great care, the areas tend to look very similar, which quickly dampens the sense of exploration and makes orientation more difficult. The story also remains rather abstract and, for me, hard to connect with. The core gameplay…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It was hard to choose an answer to the question “Would you recommend this game to other players?” because the answer is not simple at all. In the end, it's “Yes,” but it's a perfect example of “Maybe.” Don't get me wrong, it's a good game that just suffers from a few bad design decisions. First of all, the game has a gorgeous, beautiful graphic style that reminds me of the Ori games. On the OLED Steam Deck, the colors are vibrant and it just looks good. It also has a pleasant soundtrack and…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A beautiful game! The graphics were stunning! Though the story was confusing and the things to do are repetitive and it feels like I am just holding left or right half of the time. Also the movement doesn't feel very smooth. some bugs I found were with the fall stone thing quest. whenever I did almost anything with the puddles it crashed my game. In all the graphics and images were great but its very repetitive and buggy. Though that's just my opinion!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really enjoyed Seasons After Fall! The game’s art style is absolutely stunning, with beautiful, hand-painted visuals that make every scene feel like a work of art. The soundtrack is mesmerizing, with a calming yet emotional tone that perfectly complements the gameplay. The puzzles are clever and engaging, making great use of the seasonal mechanic to keep things fresh and interesting. While the story is simple, it’s heartfelt and adds just the right touch of narrative to the experience.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A beautiful cozy game that doesn't overstay its welcome. Aesthetically and in the sense that it's a puzzle platformer with backtracking, this reminds a lot of Ori, but that's about where the similarities end. This isn't a Metroidvania, and the platforming is not nearly as tough as Ori. Instead, this focuses heavily on the puzzle aspect. And, for a refreshing change of pace, it doesn't hold your hand. Sometimes it will give you clues for things that would be very obtuse, but generally it just…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I feel like Season After Fall is a slightly undercooked egg. There's nothing that I could point at that's inherently wrong with it, but there's also nothing this game does that's outstanding. The art initially looks great but eventually gets kind of repetitive. The music for the game and its story feel much the same. The quality of the platforming and puzzles is easy/low at best, and therefore, I wouldn't recommend this game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →a small whimsical game with impeccable ambiance. super easy to 100% (i did it in less than 12 hours), and has excellent visuals and music. also: fox :)

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →One of the most relaxing and easily played games, and actually when I think more... it is the #1. Everything around this game is simply adorable. - The main character with running and jumping around, especially the animation when it barely grabbed the ledge and climbs up, that is simply so nice to watch and just enjoy. - Graphics is so good at so many locations, that I had spent almost 20%-30% of game time just to stand in place, watch the colors and enjoy the view. It is really top quality…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Imagine you're playing metroidvania where map is not interconnected but rather 4 lines coming in 4 different direction from one point and each time you receive a power-up instead of it unlocking some path you've encountered before and it possibly being in your memory game just shows you some random point on the map via cutscene. That's roughly how the structure of this game feels like. This structure being something like: do 4 things, backtrack, do 4 things, backtrack, do 4 things,…
