About SEASON: A letter to the future
SEASON: A Letter to the Future takes you on a bicycle road‑trip across a visually striking world. You wind through varied landscapes, pausing whenever you wish to capture the scene with photos, recordings, or journal notes.
Along the way you meet a cast of emotionally complex characters who each share a personal story and a final moment at the season’s close. By piecing together these encounters and your own records, you confront the central mystery of the ending season and what may follow.
01 / THE GUIDE
Bicycle Exploration
The primary activity is riding a bicycle through a newly revealed world, moving along routes that showcase stunning scenery. The design encourages you to stop at any point and simply observe the environment.
When you choose to pause, you can document the view, creating a personal record of the season’s progression that later informs the journal.
- Take a moment to look around before moving on; the visual details are deliberately crafted.
- Try different paths to notice subtle shifts in lighting and terrain.
02 / THE GUIDE
Customizable Journal
Memories are collected as photographs, audio recordings, and written notes, all stored in a highly customizable journal. This journal acts as the central hub for everything you capture during the trip.
The journal’s flexibility lets you arrange entries in any order, allowing you to shape a personal narrative that reflects how you interpret the season’s secrets.
- Group entries by theme to see connections between locations and characters.
- Use the journal to track recurring motifs that appear throughout the journey.
03 / THE GUIDE
Emotionally Complex Characters
A diverse cast appears during the ride, each offering two precious things: the story of their life and a final shared moment at the season’s end. Their dialogues add depth to the overall narrative.
These encounters provide personal perspectives that contrast with the broader environmental changes, enriching the thematic questions posed by the game.
- Listen closely to each story; details often echo larger themes.
- Reflect on the shared moment after each meeting to gauge its emotional weight.
04 / THE GUIDE
Compelling Narrative
The quest asks fundamental questions: what is this season, why is it ending, and what will follow? The narrative unfolds through exploration, journal entries, and character dialogues.
Answers are not presented directly; they emerge as you piece together clues gathered from photos, recordings, and conversations throughout the journey.
- Keep a list of unanswered questions; revisiting them can reveal hidden links.
- Compare environmental cues with character stories to form hypotheses about the season’s meaning.
