Every now and again, I feel compelled to play a palette cleanser of a game. I spend a lot of time gaming and sometimes the open-world games can be a bit overwhelming so to combat this I play shorter, more experimental pieces. I am a huge fan of the indie scene and it is often here that I find gems. I played Florence a couple of years ago and, after completing Jett: The Far Shore recently, I felt compelled to play it again. I’m glad I did as the 45 minute visual-novel style game following the life, loves and dreams of a young lady was very affirming and hopeful. For those who haven’t played it, I would highly recommend it- it is a deeply personal, humanist work and the art is gorgeous!
