You won’t have to stick to the main road: cycling off the beaten path will lead you to hidden places and new discoveries. When you’re cycling, you feel resistance in the controller’s adaptive triggers when pedalling up steep hills, and then enjoy a relaxing coast downhill. With the PlayStation 5 DualSense controller, you will feel the terrain under your tires, thanks to the controller’s haptics. Via the act of recording, your exploration and investigation are rewarded throughout the story in surprising ways. Through snapshots and recordings, you build an evolving expression of your own perspective on what you’ve seen and done on your trip. It all comes together in your journal, a letter to the future, where you assemble the fragments of the season into a whole. Showing your recordings to these characters you meet can also yield useful pieces of information or a moment of connection. The choices you make reverberate and the importance of what you’re doing becomes increasingly tangible. They are trying to navigate, to survive, to find a way to live. In their lives, the change coming to the world is not abstract, it is immediate. You help them through moments of quiet crisis. Your time spent with other people is crucial. Use these recordings of the present to unlock answers for the future. This action also prompts moments of reflection and inquiry as you understand your surroundings, sparking thoughts and investigation from Estelle. Your microphone can capture and playback anything you hear, through directional sound recording. Your camera can capture anything you see. Your tools help you peel back these layers until you’re able to grasp the culture, history, and ecology underneath everything. Each captures a different layer sounds and music, art and architecture, voices of old people, vanishing religious practices, the traces of seasons long past. At any point, you can hop off your bike and equip a tool from your bag. As their progress is ultimately driven by instinct and the thrill of discovery, players may find themselves feeling that same wonder in the real world upon exiting the game.The gameplay of Season: A Letter to the Future focuses on exploring, recording, meeting people, and unravelling the strange world around you. Season's "anti-game" approach offers a fresh perspective on life as it attempts to rewire the player's brain to think differently about the world around them. Perhaps the most transformative result of its "goalless" gameplay is seen in the effect it can have on the real life of the person playing it. If Season's critical success has highlighted anything, it's the fact that gamers who seek a therapeutic, virtual escape want to feel completely stripped of the weight of responsibility and to be free to choose which way to go without being told. Instead, players progress in the game by relying primarily on their own curiosity rather than a quest marker that becomes more demanding the less it is pursued. Many explorable locations in the game can be missed altogether as there are few plot barriers set up to impede progress if certain tasks haven't been completed. It leaves its storytelling almost entirely in the player's hands, giving them the freedom to decide how much of the world the main character discovers. Season, however, foists no objective upon the player. Almost every game has objectives for players to accomplish, like questing for an item, defeating an enemy, or speaking to an NPC.
