The award winning mobile game Florence is coming to PC and Nintendo Switch on February 13, publisher Annapurna Interactive has announced. It will be available on the Nintendo Eshop, Steam, GOG, and the Mac App Store for $6.
Florence is a short but sweet story about the ups and downs of a young woman's first long-term relationship. It tells its tale through a series of story vignettes and puzzles that help illustrate the feelings a person experiences when going through romantic joys and pitfalls.
Florence was recognized as one of GameSpot's Best Mobile Games of 2018, and was honored in an Australian game developer exhibit. The experience was tailored for mobile devices, but the trailer above looks like it will be at home on PC and Switch as well.
"One of [Florence's] simplest gameplay elements is its most powerful: speech bubbles are broken into puzzle pieces, and you have to fit them together to progress a wordless conversation," GameSpot stated. "At first, the bubbles are broken up into multiple pieces, but as the relationship develops, it becomes easier and easier to put the pieces together. While Florence's story is about one couple in particular, the intense emotion contained within is universal, and it hits you incredibly hard when the brief, beautiful tale is over."
