You're a fox with no enemies in Seasons After Fall

More On: Seasons After Fall

Seasons After Fall. The name is pure relaxation. And while "gorgeous platformer" might as well be a subgenre unto itself, Seasons After Fall distinguishes itself somewhat by removing enemies. That's right. Apparently, you're a fox with no natural enemies in game. There's just plenty of running and jumping amid the lush atmosphere, and puzzle solving--by changing the seasons.

As in, make it rain in the spring to change water levels. Or change up the vegetation to reveal new pathways. Should be some nice transitions. Controlling the seasons at will sounds like a neat power. But despite the at-your-leisure pacing, Seasons After Fall will reveal a dark story. Those dark stories can be good. Unless you only like happy stories. Sunshiny stories. Then this game might make you even more sad than the regular amount of sadness it wants to convey.

Seasons After Fall doesn't have a hard launch date, but wants to be out sometime this year on PC.
