Is it still worth playing?

At 25, Florence Yeoh follows the sound of a cello to Krish, who plays it in the street. The twenty chapters of this 2018 game for the iPhone are their relationship, each a small thing to do with a finger: brushing her teeth, cleaning the flat before she visits, fitting the pieces of a speech bubble together to talk to him, packing boxes. It was made in Melbourne by Ken Wong, who designed Monument Valley, with Switch and PC versions after, and it takes under an hour. There is almost no written dialogue; the story is in comic panels and in what the hands do, and Kevin Penkin's score gives Krish the cello and Florence the piano. The speech bubbles still tell a love story through what gets easier to say, and then harder.
