Florence Yeoh feels stuck at 25. Her life is an endless routine of work, sleep, and surfing social media too much. But then she meets Krish, who changes everything about how she sees the world.
Florence and Krish's relationship is explored through a series of gameplay vignettes - from flirtations to fights, from helping each other grow... to growing apart.
Florence is a personal, raw, intimate graphic novel that draws inspiration from 'slice of life' graphic novels and webcomics.
An emotive and unique mobile narrative experience from Monument Valley's lead designer.
The story of a little girl
As well as being the name of the game, Florence is the main character, a 25-year-old woman. Despite having a stable office job with a high income, Florence quickly felt trapped at this fragile age, sometimes filled with emotions that are difficult to describe in words.
The way she looks back on her life, she sees it as a series of working - sleeping - resting non-stop, constantly scrolling social networks on her phone. In spite of the fact that her life is boring and monotonous, she didn't have the courage to do something new, extraordinary, crazy, as some people claim. She is satisfied, but never satisfied with what she has.
As Florence was rushing through her daily life, one day she accidentally bumped into Krish, a street musician. Seeing him for the first time, Florence didn't expect her life to change so drastically.
An indescribable feeling
In Florence, love is simply a lovely excuse for the character to slowly realize the changes within herself since love is just an excuse to do so. With Florence, you'll experience every stage of Florence and Krish's relationship, through a series of different emotional progressions portrayed by smooth, mellow hand-drawn animations.
The two of them flirted, asked for love, moved in together, spent every day peacefully together, helped each other feel better, and then separated as if they had never known each other. In the middle of youth and emotions like this, there's no age to call it a breakup. And thankfully, like Florence, you'll discover your own self-portrait, so you will appreciate life and yourself more from that point on. Positively, love can help you discover your soul's depths and help you perfect it.
