0:00.0	The
0:07.0	The Hello and welcome to the Canaan Rinse podcast. This is Volume 9, Issue 413. We are talking about Florence.
0:41.7	Joining me, I'm James Carter in Issue 413, are Charlotte Cuts. Hello.
0:47.3	Leah Heydoo. Hello. And Jacob Geller. Hello. Hello. Hello and welcome, one and all all. I've written what I think is a reasonable
0:57.1	single sentence summary of Florence, a short visual novel which uses puzzles to represent

2:03.7	Anna Perna Interactive, I thought it was worth mentioning.
2:06.5	Have a pretty stellar publishing record as far as video games go over the past few years.
2:12.7	The likes of what remains of Edith Finch, Gorgoa, Outer Wilds, and Sayonara Wild Hearts all jumped off
2:18.9	their publishing list.
2:21.7	It was around the time that Florence released that I was just like, is this the best publisher?
