24 Solar Terms

24 Solar Terms is a seek-and-find puzzle game themed on the traditional Chinese system of twenty-four solar terms. It ties together the climate and farming of each term through agricultural proverbs, myths, and fables, and asks you to use sharp eyes and quick wit to help local farmers with their problems.

Proverbial prompts and cultural clues guide you, and the puzzles reward creative, outside-the-box thinking. As you solve them, the world visibly changes around you, with subtle nods to traditional Chinese myths and your actions shaping the lives of the villagers. Mini-games, hidden objects, and side quests fill out the journey.

Detailed illustration carries the four seasons through small, peaceful villages, capturing the gentle, calm passage of farming life. The developers note that China is vast and home to many ethnic groups, so the game's puzzles draw inspiration from only some regions and peoples.
