Tempora: Harmony of Seasons

Nature is an incredible thing if you take a moment to observe it and think about everything that happens around you at every second. Plants, animals and the planet itself change on a regular basis, yet it would seem like everything remains in perfect equilibrium at all times, despite the magnitude of the changes. However, it would interesting to see what happens when something interferes with nature’s course on a large scale.

Bring the seasons back to the forest

Tempora: Harmony of Seasons is a point & click adventure game in which you have to solve puzzles and find useful objects in order to advance the story. It’s not a very difficult game, although you may come across situations that require a bit of tinkering before you figure out how to proceed. Thankfully, there’s a tutorial in place to get you started from the first minutes.
The story begins with a child frightened of the dark and the possible monsters under his bed. His mother comes to calm him down and she decides to read him a story as well, a story that turns out to be the main plot of the game. As such, it all takes place in a forest where the seasons seem to have stopped working, thus sending the nature into an eternal winter.

Find the artifacts with help from the animals of the forest

Your goal is to find four artifacts, one for each season, in order to restore everything back to normal and save the forest. To do that, you must first find the location of each temple, which is yet more work. Thankfully, you can ask the animals of the forest for advice and guidance, although you should be careful, because some of them do not take kindly to insults.
As for the graphics, you can rest assured that everything looks exquisite, especially since the environments are hand-drawn and quite detailed. The transition between seasons is staggering, especially if you take a bit of time to admire the scenery. In addition, Vivaldi plays in the background at all times, which is yet another reason to just watch and listen whenever you get a spare minute.
