    I would absolutely recommend this game. The art is super cute, the music is great, and it's just so fun! Some of the achievements though are very hard to get and I haven't figured some of them out. But this is a very cute game, I do wish there was a little more about the cultures but I really like the little poems and the song at the end is lovely.

    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…

    Highly recommended relaxing game with a hint of challenge. Beautiful art and well-chosen music. The game has casual point and click aspects, but is closer to an ever-evolving hidden object puzzle. There is no text (apart from season-specific Chinese characters, item information, and Hints). All in-game directions are given through drawings. 24 Solar Terms is easy to complete, especially with the Hint system; however, it is challenging to get all achievements. A couple of the mini-games are…

    It's more like a game of eye spy instead of a puzzle game.

    24 Solar Terms is a good point & click game. The puzzles are not too difficult, the ambiant is chill and the designs are beautiful and cutes. With his low price, I recommend it!!! 💚💚💚

    24 Solar Terms is an okay game, especially for a discount, and it runs smoothly on Steam Deck. As other reviews mentioned, it is mostly a 'hidden object' game where you often don't know what you are searching for and there is an unconventional and unnecessary time limit on finding them. The fact that there are basically no achievement guides to this game makes this harder. Eventually, what I did was even pixel hunt and click on everything yet I still haven't managed to find every additional…

    Really cute game, puzzle eye spy, adorable artwork and peaceful music. Had it up to play during down time at work, that's why I have so many hours in the game.

    I thought this would be relaxing, but I found the gameplay incredibly frustrating, to the point where I've had to rage-quit a couple of times! It also gives me headaches and REALLY bad motion sickness. It's a shame because it looks so pretty. Don't pick this up if you have motion sickness, if eye straining games tend to give you migraines, or if you get easily frustrated with unclear instructions/interfaces. Or if you hate poetry. They really shove it down your throat.

    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…

    This is a beautiful game with very good puzzles. The music is a perfect accompaniment for the game play. I thoroughly enjoyed it and would love to see more games that introduce us to other cultures and traditions.

    Exploring seasons, contributing to the community, and being immersed in beautiful artwork - I was so happy to try this game. The central focus of this game is exploring the four seasons (Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter). But what's interesting is this game delves into the four seasons deeper by outlining 24 solar terms, which is explained at the top of the game. Each term helps us understand the season with more precision, as each term within the season has it's own challenges, activities, and…

    This game is amazing! Seeing your little village thrive and accompanying them trough the seasons is so much fun!! I love the way the 24 Solar Terms are interpreted and the way the game combines them with chinese folklore! The artstyle is super cute and some of the Mini Games are surprisingly challenging! If you are looking for an adorable relaxing game then this is the game for you!

    A nice and cozy little hidden object/(very) casual puzzle game, telling the story of the 24 solar terms throughout the year in China, mixing both tradition and folklore into the game. Don't expect a brain puzzler, but more of a nice chill experience.

    A little cozy game, the type you play for atmosphere and unique graphics that make you feel nice and fuzzy. It isn't much in terms of gameplay and the Eng translation could be improved a bit, but overall it is an enjoyable experience

    Pros - Looks beautiful, lots of details, nice lighting - Simple but engaging game-play, kind of a mix of hidden object and point and click, solve problems/puzzles for the villagers which is usually finding/moving things in the world and playing some simple mini-games, - Good controls, game is entirely playable with mouse. Cons - There wasn't a lot of interactivity in the world outside of the things you have to click on for the puzzles. Like you can open and close doors and shake the trees and…

    Cute game, casual music. It's nice to just unwind. Some of the translation is a little rough, so a few puzzles are confusing. I was able to get through with minimal struggle. Definitely recommend on sale since it is so short, but I enjoyed what I played.

    Visually beautiful game. A puzzle with the beauty, philosophy and traditions of China. The game can be completed in a few hours. I would also highlight the music. A variety of simple mechanics from childhood from old-school games. The game leaves a good feeling. 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. Reviewed by [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/45820397-DetotatedGamer/]Detotated Gamer

    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…

    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.

    Picked this up completely on a whim, and it was a fun time. Very heartwarming, as well. It is straightforward in what it's providing, mainly hidden object searching and also some puzzles thrown in. There was a final boss, too, which was quite entertaining to see in a game like this!

    Its not worth more than 2 bucks honestly so don't buy it unless its on sale. Fun little game but I finished it in 3 hours... not much to it. Fun little puzzles but the hints rarely help and some of the puzzles are annoying. Most of them were okay though.

    Very fun and short wholesome game. The artstyle is beautiful and the soundtrack is very relaxing. I had a little bug and after contacting the devs they fixed it immediately. You can tell that this is a passion project! I've enjoyed learning about the Chinese solar terms, it's a really sweet way of enjoying the seasons. I really recommend it to everyone!
