What I’m curious to see, how Little Misfortune ends up with the grim reaper. And of course, where are else are you going to go? But venture into the woods to explore. But of course, the story also has to have a narrator. Even as a child, hearing voices is not a good thing. Also the creation visionary dev-duo Killmonday Games. Sharing the same universe as the cult video game Fran Bow. And a little bit of rather bad luck unfolds as well. So they venture into the woods, where mysteries are unraveled. Who hope to win the prize of Eternal Happiness, as a gift to her Mommy. While starring Misfortune Ramirez Hernandez, an imaginative 8-year-old. Likewise, some are friendly and others, dark. The game focuses on exploration and characters. Little Misfortune is an interactive story. The game launches on Humble Store, GOG and Steam.

It only helps that the writing, the telling of the story, is genuinely superb.Little Misfortune interactive horror adventure releases on Linux, Mac and Windows PC. This game is an inspiration and is just another reminder that #StoriesMatter. They balance the realities of Misfortune’s tragic life with the fantastical adventure she’s going on so splendidly, and the replay value is incredibly high. Also, there’s a magical fox named Benjamin!įinal word: 100% worth playing. The music is wonderful, magical, and dark. I couldn’t tear myself away from the screen! Thirdly, the world that Killmonday Games has created is so vibrant and rich and the visuals so lush, you can get lost just staring at the screen for long moments. Their unhealthy dynamic is literally the center of the game. Secondly, they really bring these characters to life, and the dynamic is so fresh and unsettling that it’s easy to become involved right away. First and foremost, the voice performances from Natalia Martinsson and Ramirez Hernandez are phenomenal - some of the best video game voice work I’ve heard in years. There are so many reasons why this game works and is so very engaging. This is essentially a Grimm’s Fairy Tale or if Edward Gorey or (early) Tim Burton got their hands on a video game… with a little bit of Trey Parker and Matt Stone mixed in. I eventually did laugh, because there is some genuinely funny stuff… but there’s also some dark, twisted stuff. You are told time and again that those choices have real consequences. (My heart kept breaking.) As a player, you get to make choices for Misfortune. She agrees to for no other reason than to make her mommy happy. He talks her into leaving the house on an adventure to find the Eternal Happiness. Little Misfortune can hear the narrator and calls him Mr. This secret was the first thing, I think, that made my mouth drop open, and I realized I had gotten myself into something unexpected. The narrator (an unreliable narrator if ever there was one) tells you a secret right off the bat. Little Misfortune is such a ball of light, love, and innocence in such a dark world, a world no child deserves it really affected me. Sometimes, I expect to cry at the end of a story, but never at the beginning. Her family is so abusive that she carries around a bottle of glitter with her, and with a toss of the hand, she brightens things that makes her unhappy. She has had a life so terrible that the things that are about to happen to her she mostly shrugs off.
Little Misfortune is a young girl, abut eight years old. I downloaded the game and started playing it, and instead of laughing, I was immediately overwhelmed with a number of different, conflicting emotions. It took me about three and a half hours to go through the first time, and I imagine I’ll play this over and over again… well, let me rewind a little. I immediately picked it up and started playing it a second time. I downloaded it and started playing it, and I didn’t put the controller down until I was done. I felt like a good laugh, and the animation looked gorgeous. And then, I heard that voice, the voice of Little Misfortune.
(Do kids say “doozies” anymore? If you literally have no idea what that means, drop a comment in the comment section.) Not only was this week the release of some big bundle/collections like Borderlands and Bioshock, but I was stuck between choosing a few different games that were each $20 and flipping back and forth between my Switch and PS4, devouring trailers. Normally, I try to fit in a couple of different games to review, so that the $25 you spend will truly be worth it and take you at least to the next week when you can then add a couple of more doozies to your list.
