Monument Valley Designer’s Florence Arrives on Valentine’s Day

The indie title will arrive on February 14th, which is rather fitting.

Ken Wong, who served as the lead designer for the critically acclaimed Monument Valley, has a new game coming out called Florence. This indie title focuses on a young woman who experiences the so-called highs and lows of falling in love.

Announced last year, Florence has a rather appropriate release date for iOS – it’s out on Valentine’s Day or February 14th for iOS. Pre-orders are currently open and the game itself costs $2.99. Wong’s studio Mountains will be published by Annapurna Interactive and as the name indicates, it focuses on Florence Yeoh.

She meets a cello player named Krish and love blossoms. How this plays out over their daily interactions with vignettes and mini-games remains to be seen. Apparently Florence takes inspiration from Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and (500) Days of Summer which gives us a sense of foreboding given how those movies turned out.

Still, coming from the lead designer of Monument Valley means that Florence definitely warrants a look. What are your thoughts on the game? Let us know below.
