I got this game recommended by an old game dev friend of mine who uses this game often as an example for an artfull approach at storytelling.
The game is about a young girl that lives the live of an average human being. Weak up, go to work and fall in bed tired out of a stressfull day. A live that many of us live right here right now.
Florence is one day drawn in by the music of a young man and eventually they start going out.
The game instead of following standard ways of narrating like text or voice overs follows a more unique way.
Narration is done by shapes, forms and colours. That represant connection or beauty. While the majority of the first half looks more grim in plain grey. The yellow from the fellow musician brightens up every scene. Every conversation with hime is simple puzzle game that gets easier with time as it gets easiert to talk to each other. While you need to connect a handfull of pieces at the end you need just two or three. This choice makes for powerfull yet simple indications of where to go with our emotions. Its universally understandable without every using a spoken or written word. In the later half of the game this becomes more important. In order to portrait problems, arguments or a growing gap between characters shapes and colours even take this a step further by emotionaly making clear that things will never be the same before.
The story is simple, yet the lesson learned at the end more important than ever. While i feel that the first half of the game is stronger storywise and it gets a little to generic towards the end. This generic aspect serves the game just right. It doesnt need to overshadow the rest and can stand inline with everything else.
I highly recommend this game for young adults, artist who look at some inspiration or storytellers who wanna learn a different way of telling emotions without using words.
