I would recommend this games to my friends....but...actually....many have alreadly bought it :)

There wasn't anything that stood out a lot, the story was just quite a simple heart warming story, it isn't something that will move a lot of people into tears. But it's exactly what its relaxing style that caught me. lol

If you think this is yet another cheap boring visual novel and decide to give a bad review,
I strongly advise you to MAKE SURE you have read the decode story.

The game greatly exceeds my expectations with this price, especially the short but subtle storyline, together with the awesome art work and soothing sound tracks. Play nice on linux.
A definitely 10/10.

致开发者，关于系统的一些小的建议：

• 点击新游戏后没有再次返回主菜单的选项；
  
• 语言选择简体中文的时候很多菜单界面都是繁体中文的；
  
• 想看回想的时候习惯性地使用鼠标滚轮，发现鼠标滚轮无论向上滚还是向下滚都是回滚的效果；
  
• 建议能在新的章节出现的时候适度高亮新章节的飞机做为提醒，虽然大家应该都是一次性通关的？

祝好！

Alright alright, I gave it a bad review before, but now that I learned about how the "main story" is like, 20% of the actual story it got a lot more interesting. You better press that "decode" plane.

The main initial story just had me immensely bored, but once I understood the rest it made sense they would be so simple, it's all they could've wanted with their situation. I don't want to spoil anything.

Definitely would've recommended more atmosphere sounds and the music box stuff gave me some initial cringes, but it's ok now that I understand the plot.

It's worth a couple dollars to have some fun thoughts and watch a story play out with them.

Season of 12 Colors is original visual novel that revolves on the theme of childhood memories. The story is nicely crafted and well thought out, as you are given the perspective of the story from the different characters. In addition, the artwork of the game, as well as the soundtrack, are excellently presented and add meaningful immersion to the story. Though the game is bit short (1-2 hours), the asking price is fair, and the achievements are all easy to obtain for 100% completion. Overall, if you enjoy visual novels, then you should defintely try out this one.

Season of 12 Colors is an absolutely lovely indie Visual Novel with an awesome story and great characters. It is designed in a cute style. The story can be described as a modern sweet and sad "fairy tale" with a mysterious twist. It unfolds slowly while more information about the background of the characters are revealed as you progress in the VN.

English subtitles and chinese voices are of good quality.
Soundtrack is wonderful but a little bit repetitive.

I recommend you to get the game even though one playthrough only takes you a few hours - really it cost you less than a burger! ^-^

10/10

I've always liked sweet and short indie/doujin visual novels without choices. Season of 12 Colors seemed appealing to me due to its warm rural summer setting. After finishing the game, though, I was a bit disappointed.

The story starts off light and then turns into a bittersweet tragedy with magical fantasy elements. What I didn't like about it is pretty close to what bothered me in "Ame no Marginal" and "40 Days and 40 Night of Rain": The fantasy elements primary seem to serve to purpose of creating the drama; they aren't part of the world until they are needed, and inventing whatever rules are needed to give the story some emotional twists feels artificial to me.

I also wasn't too pleased with the writing quality. The translation was okay in general, but there were quite a few typos, grammar mistakes and awkward-sounding phrases – probably lines translated too close to the original text that don't sound good in English. Example:

"She has a simple life.
She has the 'current' moment.
She has a cute child with a laughter like sunshine."

Line 2 sounds really unnatural and line 3 makes no sense at all; it should probably be "was" instead of has.

The writing style is pretty simple, and while that's not necissarily a problem, "Season of 12 Colors" has (like most visual novels) no recognizable style which makes it feel a bit generic.

The art is pretty good. Warm colors, beautiful backgrounds, nice characters designs. The music was also decent.

Overall it's not a bad story, but if feels constructed and the writing style is fairly generic. I can see why people find "Season of 12 Colors" appealing – and I genuinely like some of its ideas –, but it just doesn't work for me. I can't say I regret the purchase, though, the pricing is very fair.

Recommendations for people who liked "Season of 12 Colors":
- Ame no Marginal -Rain Marginal- (short visual novel (~2-3h) available on Steam in the same style, but with more elaborate world building)
- 40 Days and Nights of Rain (short (~1h) free visual novel in the same style)
- planetarian (short visual novel (~5h) available on Steam with very good world and character building)
- True Remembrance (free short visual novel (~6h) with excellent writing, good world building and very sweet and warm character interactions – http://trueremembrance.insani.org/ )

Very beautiful and touching, The characters are super cute. Just when you think its over it keeps going, unleashing more and more of the story. Art style and music is A+. Another good VN to add to your collection.

What a sweet story! The art style, BG, BGM and VA were simply perfect. This game is worth every cent! I’m looking forward for the DLCs.

Also, I’d like to report a bug on Mac OS X: sometimes all the sound (including VA) stops working, and I have to close the game and open it again. There’s a few typos too.

Even so, 10/10!

I first wanted this because it looked cute, but after playing, I can really feel the story
