What Is The Storyline Of Seasons Of Loss Android?

Question

Seeking a spoiler-free summary of the story in the mobile game Seasons of Loss. Heard it's a great emotional narrative experience.

The questioner seems to be referring to a game or app called ‘Seasons of Loss Android’ – I have not come across this game so I have no idea what a story would be for it. There are web novels that deal with themes of seasons, loss and the like. I have been reading ‘Winter’s Sun - A Billionaire's Revenge’ for example. This novel follows the wealthier of two protagonists as he seeks to use his wealth to exact revenge for a past betrayal, set against the backdrop of cold corporate winters and slow personal thawing-out. The ultimate emotional payoff and seasonal symbolism could be of interest here.

Home is where the heart is. Or so the old saying goes. This isn’t your normal homecoming story, however, and eventually unravels into a complex exploration of guilt. It all begins with a simple missing person inquiry to find out what has happened to the villagers in Rin’s home town, and how their disappearance is linked to Rin’s repressed memories of her brother’s accident and her mother’s terminal illness. As Rin searches her way through her memories, the same objects that remind her of her guilt will have to be interacted with to progress in the story. These include a wilted flower pot and an unanswered letter, for instance. Rin’s voice acting is excellent, and even though it’s all in Japanese, you can clearly tell the difference in her way of speaking in her normal state of mind and her worried state of mind. But then again, that’s not what you’d expect from a horror game, is it? Most horror games rely on the more ‘normal’ aspects of horror, ie, monsters and creepy settings and all that jazz, but not here. The real horror here is that Rin has been avoiding a room in her own memories the whole time. And then there are the multiple endings, all very bittersweet and often terrifying. My favorite, however, is a cycle of Rin reliving the memories over and over again to wonder if she’s ever really going to be able to leave her past behind her.

Playing seasons of loss was kind of like wandering through the dream of another person. It’s a mystery to finding out what happened to the childhood friend of the protagonist, Aki, who disappeared in one of the “lost seasons” of the village. The game goes back and forth between the investigations of the present day and flashbacks to before. However, the time does not go in a linear fashion. So for example, you can fix a broken clock and then find yourself reliving the same hour but this time from the perspective of another character and you can notice things that you had not noticed before.

The very minimalist style is done in washed-out watercolor which makes the rare appearances of color all the more impactful. One of the sequences has you reconstructing a letter from a mass of scraps found in various seasons. The story changes depending on the order in which you insert the scraps, but it’s never overly complicated and feels clever without feeling pretentious. I’d suggest this to fans of ‘Raging Loop’ or ‘Spirit Hunter: Death Mark’; it’s far quieter than either of those games.

I played through ‘Seasons of Loss’, a hauntingly beautiful visual novel, and it has stayed with me long after completion. The story follows Rin, a young woman who returns to her childhood village after many years away. However, upon her return she finds the once bustling town to be eerily empty, with Rin occasionally reliving memories of her past, including her often contentious relationship with her mother and the tragic fire that occurred in the town. Legend has it that there is a ‘season of vanishing’ and the game takes a very surreal approach to time. Rin can see autumn leaves falling upwards or witness snow melting into blooming cherry blossoms. But the real focus of the game is on the crushing sense of grief and nostalgia that Rin feels. The environment changes depending on the items that Rin finds, and in some cases she can uncover a music box and suddenly the entire town will transform into winter. My ending was very impactful and left me staring at the screen for a good 10 minutes. The ending requires a choice from the player and it is a choice between holding on to the past and letting go in the most literal form possible.

I have to mention that it reminded me of “The House in Fata Morgana”, especially in terms of non-linear storytelling. The environment reacts to the objects in a very different way though, and it’s told from a more personal and intimate angle. The soundtrack also is pretty neat, the piano tracks sounding all worn and wet in the rain. If you enjoy stories treated as art that approach melancholy in a special way, then this game is definitely worth checking out.

For comparison’s sake, other android narratives such as Detroit: Become Human are focused around explosive revolution, or existential horror as seen in Soma. Seasons of Loss is the opposite, an intimate, contemplative story focused around one android, delving deep into their quiet personal crisis, searching for meaning. I found it more psychologically resonant as it took the cosmic dread of obsolescence and asked a simple yet relatable question: what do you do when the reason for your routine has ceased to exist? The answer is given in a subtle, bittersweet yet strangely comforting manner.

Interestingly enough, in the relationship between Aris the human and Iris the android, the former tends to act impulsively whereas the latter adheres to a strict program to nurture their bond. In terms of grieving in the scenario provided above, the android attempts to replicate her human counterpart’s methods of expressing her agony to mourn the loss, yet ends up tapping into something more exceptional to usher in a wave of hybrid forms of mourning as a tribute to her legendary creator. Rather than Illegitimately propagating the notion of the android acquiring the human form, she chooses to make a suitable effigy – a detour of kinds from a life form – in commemoration of said legendary human. That, my friend, is far more poignant than becoming alive to link with her beloved.
