Release Info:

"Journey across the magnificent world of Valdi!
Ary and the Secret of Seasons is an award-winning adventure game following
a young girl named Aryelle, or Ary, as she journeys across the great world
of Valdi. By becoming the Guardian of Winter, Ary gains the ability to
manipulate the seasons around her. Ary will learn to control the seasons
and use them to defeat enemies, overcome obstacles, and solve complex
puzzles on her adventure across Valdi.

Long ago, the world of Valdi was threatened by an evil mage. After a great
struggle, he was defeated by the Legendary Warrior and sealed inside the
Vault, imprisoned for all eternity. To ensure the mage's imprisonment, four
great sages swore to keep watch and protect the Vault. They formed the
original Guardians of Seasons, a secretive organization now steeped in
history and legend.

After a mysterious force throws the seasons of Valdi into disarray, Ary
decides to assist the Guardians of Seasons and sets out to find the source
of the mayhem. Using her wits and courage, Ary will have to overcome
monstrous enemies, secret plots, and stuffy traditions to save Valdi and
bring balance to the world once more.

Key Features

-Rewarding exploration. Harnessing the power of the seasons, Ary can
traverse sweeping landscapes in search of new destinations, solving amazing
environmental puzzles to progress.
-Captivating storytelling. Ary is recruited to help the Guardians of
Seasons, an old organization caught up by rigid traditions. As she ventures
through uncharted locations across Valdi, Ary will discover secrets and
hidden meanings behind the Guardian of Seasons.
-Dynamic environments. Manipulate the world around Ary with her
environmental powers. Leap between ecosystems to bend the world and seasons
to her needs.
-Fluid combat. Ary's skills will be put to the test as she encounters foes
looking to thwart her progress - from local inhabitants to hulking
behemoths, she will use all the tools at her disposal to overcome
monumental obstacles.
-Alluring 3D world. A beautiful visual style combined with an enchanting
soundtrack creates a lingering atmosphere that will surely become a
memorable gameplay experience".
