On yer bike, following an internal investigation this year
At least, judging by the brevity of the “About Scavengers Studio” section in the press release it is. But look, a bunch of people put hard work into this game, and Season does sound extremely like my jam. You two-wheel your way through the world in an effort to capture memories of it before a cataclysm washes much of it away. At any point you can hop off your bike to capture things, be they images of buildings, videos of birds, or recordings of locals talking. That’s a very cool concept, and the art style is bloody lovely.
That’s a troubled year to make a game in, though it seems like Darveau has been kept away from Season’s development since the news broke big. There have been a few stories over the years suggesting that, though working at a big studio can come with problems, indie darlings aren’t immune to issues. Season is not to be confused with other pretty road trip gameOpen Roads.
