Little Misfortune Demo

That are games out there that may not get high grades for their graphics or gameplay, but overcompensate with a story that would otherwise deserve eight out of five stars. We are talking about those games that push you to go further and further and progress to the next mission just for the sake of finding out what happens next to your beloved character. One such game is Little Misfortune, and adventure game with some exploration and puzzle-solving elements thrown into the mix for good measure, all while serving a much larger and intricate plot that will trigger some feelings inside any of you.

You play as a young girl named Misfortune who is guided by an unknown voice to embark on an adventure. You never actually know what exactly the prize is until the very end, other than it is called "Eternal Happiness" and Misfortune want's to win it for her mother anyway. The Voice also plays as the narrator of the entire story, sometimes breaking the fourth wall to talk directly to you to ask your opinion about things.

The game is all wrapped up in neat cartoonish graphics, but on closer inspection you'll probably notice things that are extremely mature, sad and rarely seen in children's cartoons. Throughout your explorations you will eventually realize that Misfortune's life isn't all sunshine and rainbows, as you find out that her family is quite dysfunctional.

The game plays out as an adventure game where you have to explore your surroundings and do what the voice says, all while having the chance of solving puzzles along the way. The neatest feature that this game has to offer is the fact that at any given moment there is a choice to be made, and all of these choices have an impact on how the game will eventually end.

Little Misfortune will make you think, feel and cry out that some things are just downright wrong, and that is basically what developers wanted to do, as you will feel a little more mature but a bit emptier inside once you finish it.
