Seasons (KQGS)

'Seasons are a theme that appears in King's Quest reboot universe, but they appear to more themes and possibly symoblic to the stories than discussed in 'natural' terms. Thus the order of seasons will be discussed in the order they appear in the game...

Summer
The 'present' is set during the summer with Graham telling his life story to Gwendolyn. The boxart for all five chapters show very green vines much like you would find during the summer, and each story changes the vines to reflect the story he is telling (but they always remain green and fresh like summer).

Autumn
In Chapter 1 and Chapter 2 (in the main story, prologue, and Graham's early kingshopi) the kingdom is in Autumn. This appears to show the downfall of Edward's kingdom. Fruit/berry trees are still bearing fruit, yet its autumn. Most fruits grow during spring and harvested early or late summer when the trees are full of green leaves

Strangely the tree, that respresents Graham's aging however is budding like its spring. Noteably the season is never directly mentioed during the stories, though there is some references to 'next spring'.

In chapter 3 the game still has Graham going through Fall both as a youg knight, and as a youhng king 'trying to heal and repair his kingdom". By the time he is fully mature the kingdom is in its "Spring".

Chapter 1 and Chapter 2 boxart however looks to be in the summer with very green leaves. The chapter 2 boxart adds raindrops to the vines.

Spring
In Chapter 3 after the prologue its full on spring, Graham is in the prime of his life. The tree representing him is filled with big buds as well. Spring folllows the story as he journies to find his wife, and is reflected in every land he visits.

The only change to this is the effect of the frost tonic at the end of the story which causes winter around Hagatha's tower (more about this in winter).

In Chapter 4, it is still spring when Graham's child alexander is kidnapped. Suggesting from a literary standpoint that the kingdom was still young and happy, everything was good. At least until Alexander was kidnapped and they failed to find him.

The box for chapter 3 shows the vines with blossoms, which puretly represents spring.

Winter
Chapter 3 ends with winter around the Ice Tower, and the preview picture shows a wintery scene.

18 Years later, when Alexander returns to a Daventry with his family still longing for his return the kingdom is suffering an extremely cold winter. They travel to southern lands on vacation to get away from it to discover the unnatural winter still exists in those lands as well. There is even a 'coldness' between Graham and Alexander as they do not understand each other very well... Alexander loves magic, Graham no longer trust magic, as it was how Alexander was kidnapped.

The boxart now shows the vines all frozen and covered with ice cycles, but stll green as if in summer.
