24 Solar Terms

A lovely cozy game I'm glad I stumbled across. ♡ This hidden object game is inspired by the traditional Chinese calendar and takes you through the 24 solar terms, with each one bringing new scenes and puzzles to discover. The artwork is sooo adorable and probably my favourite part of the game. Every scene is packed with tiny details, and watching everything change with the seasons makes it even prettier. There were definitely moments where I forgot I was supposed to be looking for something and just sat there admiring the scenery instead. The gameplay is very calm and easy to pick up. Alongside searching for hidden objects, there are point-and-click puzzles and mini-games that add some variety. There isn't really any dialogue or written guidance either. Most things are communicated through illustrations, so part of the fun is simply looking around and figuring out what the game wants you to do next. Some objects are fairly easy to find, while others blend reaaally well into the background. Some were hidden so well I started questioning my eyesight... Thankfully, there's a hint button because apparently I can stare directly at something and still not see it. ദ്ദി('—ᴗ—) I actuall…

24 Solar Terms, developed by FreeMenFreeTime and published by Gamera Games and Gamirror Games, is a culturally inspired hidden object adventure that draws deeply from the traditional East Asian system of seasonal divisions known as the twenty-four solar terms. Rather than using this concept as mere background flavor, the game structures its entire progression around these seasonal markers, weaving agricultural wisdom, folklore, and rural life into an interactive puzzle experience. The result is a game that feels less like a conventional hidden object title and more like a gentle journey through time, nature, and tradition. At its core, the game revolves around helping villagers solve seasonal problems tied to farming and rural living. Each solar term represents a specific moment in the agricultural calendar, from the awakening of insects in early spring to the harvest preparations of autumn and the quiet dormancy of winter. As players move from one term to the next, they are presented with beautifully illustrated scenes filled with hidden objects and environmental details. The puzzles are contextualized within the rhythms of seasonal change, reinforcing the sense that the world ev…

This is such a beautiful game! I love it, I love the cultural aspect of it, the poems and sayings and the lore put into the game. The drawings are also so nice! I'm really glad I got this game, it is a very very nice creation. Thank you!

The game isn't bad, it's just not fun. Find Wally gameplay + 24 solar terms as narrative. You simply locate the corresponding item to progress the story. Finding item isn't fun, since finding the item solely based on the description without knowing what they would look like. The narrative is bland as well. It's just complete the objective and then get a a poem about the solar term. [quote]Reviewed by [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/45820397-DetotatedGamer/]Detotated Gamer[/url][/quote]

24 Solar Terms is a very calm and zen little game with a really charming cultural style to it. I ended up struggling to finish it though, and eventually had my partner sit with me to help work through parts of it. I found a lot of the puzzles difficult to solve, and over time I started feeling more bored than engaged. That said, the atmosphere and presentation are genuinely adorable and relaxing. I'm only recommending it because the art was beautiful and someone else might enjoy this kind of game.

I really enjoyed this game! It's a very nice puzzle game. Nice art style and relaxing music. I liked that I could check in the collection panel what items I missed. The collection panel also tells you if you have to collect an item before a certain time. You also don't have to replay the entire game to get things you missed. You can replay an entire season or just 1 solar term, which is a lot shorter if you missed something at the end of a season.
