Enjoyable short story, but I want more
I don't know how to feel about this one. I love the artstyle; the music works well to fit the mood; I adore stories that are told without words .. but they're also hard to pull off. There were moments where I connected with the story, but overall .. it all felt pretty, light. I was hoping for more depth, something with higher highs and lower low points; maybe a story where you could make meaningful choices. The interactive elements usually work well to convey what the story wants to say, but some interactions are repeated. The first time it's clever; any time after that it's a slight variation and it gets a bit predictable. I would've liked that the story played more with my expectations to surprise me. I don't mind that Florence was a short ~30 min. experience .. yet I couldn't help but think at the end: "Wait, that's it? It just ends here? .. All this seemed like the prologue, and *now* is when the real story begins!" .. and then the credits rolled. I imagine this is because Florence was initially developed for mobile, which is less suited to deliver a more in-depth experience. All in all, Florence is an enjoyable light short story with beautiful artwork and clever ideas. I do think there's a lot more room to explore this type of storytelling, so I look forward to whatever the Mountains team is working on next!
