It’s exactly how Florence and Krish’s relationship and interactions are depicted that makes Florence truly special, though. For a game that’s more or less made up of animated comic strips, how so much emotion pours out of every scene is a feat. It’s emotional, and portrayed so tenderly. As much as you may like it to, Florence doesn’t have any branching narrative so their break-up is inevitable. Your heart will swell along with Florence’s as you take it all in.Įqually, your heart will break as the game begins to tell the story of Florence and Krish’s relationship breaking down. The exploration of their relationship – from simple scenes of them cooking together, to exchanging text messages made up of smiley faces and love heart emojis – is impeccable in its simplicity. Anyone who has ever had the pleasure of experiencing falling in love will grin along with Florence as she falls for Krish, the handsome musician. The focus of the story is Florence falling in love – presumably for the first time. It’s impossible to play Florence without being overcome by emotions. It wants to tell a story, and you’re merely taken along for the ride. As such, it demands very little from players and doesn’t really offer any degree of challenge. Florence’s chores have been gamified for the sake of the format, asking players to wiggle their thumbsticks to illustrate brushing her teeth, for example, or clicking on a piece of sushi as she eats her lunch.
Next is her job: mindlessly entering data into a spreadsheet.įlorence doesn’t task players with complicated gameplay. Then there’s her commute to work: swiping through social media and robotically hitting ‘like’ or ‘retweet’ as she goes. The first is her morning routine: snoozing her alarm clock, brushing her teeth, eating breakfast. But, oh, it does so oh-so-beautifully.īroken up into bite-size chapters, you’ll follow Florence through snippets of her life.
By its very design, Florence deals with the mundanity of life. Lectures from her mother, dull days at work, enjoying her hobbies, and falling in love. Florence tells the story of 25-year-old Florence Yeoh as she goes about her regular life. Florence is something quite different, though.
Just look at last year’s Sayonara Wild Hearts around an hour in length and best described as an interactive music album. But we’re seeing more and more short games, delivering quality experiences based on storytelling and art that often go beyond typical gameplay tropes. I loved it when I played it on Android, and I love it just as much now I’ve played it on Switch.Īt only an hour long, Florence is, at face value, a hard sell in a world that often values a video game on its length.
