Season: A Letter to the Future

Play it on: PS5, PS4, Windows (Steam Deck OK)
Current goal: Go back where I started
Scavengers Studio’s Season: A Letter to the Future was one of the first games I played in 2023, and was also one of the first to really capture my imagination. While our reviewer, John Walker, didn’t love it, I was really captivated by its portrayal of memory as an inherent weight to carry, more than it was a blessing to be able to recollect one’s own past. But I never got around to finishing it to see where those threads led. We’re nearing the end of the year and while Kotaku’s own Game of the Year discussions are well underway, I still have a personal ranking to write. So I’ve been going back and playing smaller games I missed or didn’t finish. Now, it’s time to go back to one of the first games I played just before the year wraps up. — Kenneth Shepard
