![]() He was spotted hiding in the trash by Misfortune after being assigned by his boss to keep watch on her. He is close in height to Misfortune and wears a small blue shoulder bag.īenjamin is employed by his mysterious boss to protect and guide the victims of the parasite from Pandora, Misfortune's reality, to Senersedee. ![]() He has bright blue eyes, black paws, and a black-tipped tail. Not convinced? There's a demo on itch.io and Steam too. You can pick it up the full game on Humble Store, GOG and Steam. If you own their previous game, Fran Bow, on either GOG or Steam you should also get a 10% discount as they announced on Twitter. Total time came to nearly three hours so it was quite short but very memorable. I couldn't put it down, played it through in a single sitting. The Linux version has run beautifully, no issues encountered at all. For everyone else, as strange as it is, Little Misfortune is a game worth playing. If you're a fan of Fran Bow, this is an easy recommendation. It also has some very nicely done short animated cut-scenes at times too. It has a fabulous art style, a ludicrously immersive atmosphere, good voice acting and a story that really pulls your attention because of how completely insane it seems as you go through it. Voice though, perfect choice for the role. It has a number of mature adult themes inside and does a pretty good balancing act between the childishness of the protagonist with the adult themes surrounding the setting.īeing completely honest, I fully expected to get irritated by the way Misfortune talks but she really grows on you due to the story and character design. Just so we're clear, this is not a game to play around a younger audience. There's a certain bit with…cows that I don't want to spoil but I nearly spat a biscuit out of my mouth at it. The humour in it is pretty great too, childish-like though in the simplicity of it. It's just such a thoroughly well-done bizarre tale that I couldn't tear myself away from. Sometimes it zooms in and shows you a close up of Misfortune to show her facial expression, this time involving the devouring of some candy but let's just say when I took a closer look it was…ergh-I let out an audible groan. It's one decision that will stick with me for a while too. One particular choice I made early on didn't reappear until well over an hour in. As it's quite linear, apart from the choices. Although given how the game plays, probably something to come back to and do again after a while. Such is the way of life though, you often only get to make a decision once.ĭepending on some of the choices you make, you might want to have another play-through. ![]() Others make you wish you had picked a different choice, just to see what would happen. There's a number of moments like that, where things just happen that aren't expected. ![]() I'll admit, my first proper choice that showed me an actual consequence really did catch me off guard. If you groan when you read about choices having consequences, well, here it's actually quite apparent and sometimes shockingly so. It's really not the "gameplay" you come to Little Misfortune for, it's the wonderfully disconcerting experience of it all. So I get what they were going for calling it an interactive story, since this is not a traditional point and click adventure even though it might seem like it initially. What you're doing is travelling from one end of the screen to the other, interacting with a few things and then moving on. They call it an "interactive story, focused on exploration and characters" where you make a bunch of choices that have "consequences". The gameplay involved is actually pretty simple and quite basic. The trailer and the description given by Killmonday Games don't really tell you much of what to expect from Little Misfortune. Thankfully, the full game really delivers. I actually played the demo of this when it came out back in April, which left a feeling of needing to play more. ![]() YouTube videos require cookies, you must accept their cookies to view. ![]()
