Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking deep or consistently developed gameplay systems may lose interest when the route-specific mechanics remain brief and secondary to the story.
- Players who dislike repeated scenes and situations may hit a wall when the four routes revisit the same timeline.
- Players wanting a school life game with side quests and optional tasks will find the school sections limited to main-story experiences and NPC dialogue.
- Players looking for uniformly gentle combat may struggle with the winter route's harder action stages.
Our take on 四季 The Four Seasons
Players may bounce off when the shared timeline begins repeating scenes across character routes. Those expecting one refined gameplay system may hit another wall as the game shifts from piano play and puzzles to deduction, turn-based combat, and harder winter action stages.
What is 四季 The Four Seasons?
This story-focused adventure RPG follows four characters through separate spring, summer, autumn, and winter routes set during the same school week.
The routes must be completed in seasonal order before the final Four Seasons route becomes available. Each character’s section uses different supporting gameplay: a piano minigame, puzzles, clue investigation, bullet-pattern deduction, turn-based battles, and action combat. The winter route includes three major game stages, puzzles, and comparatively demanding fights. The game takes about 10 hours, with route lengths varying by character. Because the stories share a timeline, some scenes and content repeat. School areas include students with changing daily dialogue but no side quests or optional tasks.
