Little Misfortune's interactions with the narrator and the world around here are both comedy gold and so relateable.

Little Misfortune's interactions with the narrator and the world around here are both comedy gold and so relateable. For a game that deals with potentially very dark and difficult themes the humour, writing, graphics and sound design all take you along for the ride with ease. Found myself giggling and laughing even as my heart broke a little. I am definitely hoping for a second game or similar in the franchise because I want more!

Eu amei praticamente todos os aspectos desse jogo. A arte, a personagem, a mistura de coisas pesadas e triste com coisinhas engraçadas. Essa mistura que citei ajuda muito o jogo pois brinca com essa coisa do olhar inocente da criança sob uma situação que pra nós adultos é claramente perigosa. O jogo todo passa uma sensação de brincadeira/historinha pra criança. …

Essa mistura que citei ajuda muito o jogo pois brinca com essa coisa do olhar inocente da criança sob uma situação que pra nós adultos é claramente perigosa. O jogo todo passa uma sensação de brincadeira/historinha pra criança.

O único problema pra mim, e motivo de não dar as 5 entrelas, foi a jogabilidade. Eu compreendo que seja basicamente um point and click e você só tem que fazer as escolhas pra história seguir (até pq eu acho que não teria mídia melhor de contar a história do que através de um jogo). Eu senti falta de ter mais aspectos "jogáveis".

Mas com certeza entrou pra favoritos!

Got 100% in this the other night after two playthroughs, and I still cried the second time around too. Way way too fucking relatable. Might have to review this one.

This, as expected, absolutely devastated me. Once again, KillMonday manages to make something that hits way too close to home, and hurts but in a good way because it makes me feel like I wasn't alone in the way I grew up. Also I'm adopting Misfortune. That's final. She's mine now. Gimme that weirdo kid.

Finally got this for 6 bucks on Xbox and man, Natalia Martinsson is one of the best writers around in any medium currently. Her little girl characters are so relatable that it makes me cry. Fran Bow hit home really hard, but this feels like it's gonna break me completely, and I am so ready for it.

It probably doesn't bode well for my mental health the fact that I relate so strongly to the heroines of KillMonday's games (Fran Bow & Little Misfortune), but god, something about the way Natalia Martinsson writes these little girls, along with her art style, just makes them so heart wrenchingly familiar.

It probably doesn't bode well for my mental health the fact that I relate so strongly to the heroines of KillMonday's games (Fran Bow & Little Misfortune), but god, something about the way Natalia Martinsson writes these little girls, along with her art style, just makes them so heart wrenchingly familiar.

I know she's stated that Fran Bow was somewhat based off personal experience, so perhaps she and I share some of the same issues, but I don't know much beyond that, so I can't really say for sure. But all I do know for a fact is that I feel so incredibly emotionally attached to these characters that it's frightening. Perhaps that's just what comes from growing up sick and abused though, who knows.

Anyway Little Misfortune so far is really fun. Nowhere near as in depth or complex (especially game play wise) as their previous title, but honestly, I'm okay with that. I'm glad they did something a little different.

Addendum: After viewing Martinsson's Instagram page, may I say she is really fucking pretty and I remember why I like girls lmao

I played the demo. I'm huge fan of Fran Bow so I'm waiting a lot. I really liked the demo so far and It seems promising. Oh god the female voice of Misfortune is so annoying but I think I like it this way.
