Expertly blending the visual novel and gaming genres, Florence illustrates one year in the life of a young woman in Melbourne as she falls in love, breaks her daily routine and follows her creative passion.
Developed by Australian craft games studio Mountains, Florence uses innovative gameplay mechanics to represent social interactions. The emotions of the poignant narrative are rendered through tapping and swiping minigames, making them all the more touching.
This video covers the leadup to the first public look of Florence at PAX Australia 2017 of the first public look of Florence. In it, Mountains reflects on about its reception by the public and the game’s upcoming release.
