Little Misfortune

**Отзыв на игру *Little Misfortune***

*Little Misfortune* — это удивительное, трогательное и атмосферное приключение, которое оставило у меня массу положительных эмоций. Игра сочетает в себе милую, но немного мрачную эстетику, глубокий сюжет и невероятно харизматичных персонажей.

Главная героиня, Мисфорчун, — настоящий лучик света! Её наивность, доброта и детская непосредственность заставляют моментально проникнуться её историей. А её забавные реплики и неожиданные поступки делают игру ещё более обаятельной.

Визуальный стиль просто восхитителен: красивая рисовка, тёплые цвета и при этом лёгкая меланхоличная атмосфера создают уникальное настроение. Музыка и звуковое сопровождение идеально дополняют геймплей, усиливая эмоциональное погружение.

*Little Misfortune* — это маленькое чудо, которое подарило мне море тепла, улыбок и даже пару слёз. Рекомендую всем, кто любит необычные, душевные и атмосферные игры с глубоким смыслом! 💖

**Оценка: 10/10**

I’ve had Little Misfortune in my backlog for a while, and I finally decided to play it. I wasn’t sure what to expect going in, but I ended up really liking it. It’s weird, sad, funny, and unsettling all at the same time, and somehow it works.

Let’s start with the positives. The art style is really charming. It looks like something out of a dark children’s storybook, and it fits the tone of the game perfectly. The voice acting is also great, Misfortune’s voice is super memorable and adds a lot to her character. The soundtrack is subtle but adds to the atmosphere, especially during the more emotional scenes.

What I really liked most, though, was the tone. It balances this innocent, almost whimsical vibe with really heavy themes like death, abuse, and trauma. Some scenes genuinely caught me off guard, and despite how messed up things get, the game still has moments that are weirdly wholesome. I also liked how the narrator and Misfortune’s interactions play out, it’s probably one of the strongest parts of the game.

Now for the negatives...

There’s not much actual gameplay here. You walk, make some light choices, and interact with things, but don’t expect any real puzzles or deep mechanics. It’s basically an interactive story. Some of the choices don’t seem to matter much either, which was kind of disappointing considering how choice-heavy it pretends to be. The story also becomes a bit predictable near the end, especially if you're familiar with the devs’ previous work (Fran Bow).

Overall, I still enjoyed my time with Little Misfortune. It’s not long, and it’s definitely not for everyone, but if you like dark stories with a weird sense of humor and emotional weight, it’s worth checking out.

8/10

I came in with an open heart for this game. I think the animation is beautiful and the setting of the story is interesting and I also like the design of the monster/horror elements. But it was hard to get over how edgy it thinks it is, like in a Spencers kind of way. This game thinks it's tongue in cheek but it's all tongue

⭐ 9.5/10

Little Misfortune is a beautiful, bittersweet journey wrapped in a dark, twisted fairy tale. The game invites you into the life of Misfortune, a young girl with an incredibly quirky and lovable personality, who is tasked with finding the "eternal happiness."

While the premise seems light-hearted, the world around Misfortune is far from it. The dark, eerie atmosphere fills every scene, and what starts as a whimsical adventure slowly turns into something much deeper, even unsettling at times. The blend of light-hearted humor and deeply emotional moments creates a unique contrast that stays with you long after you’ve finished the game.

Gameplay is simple but engaging. You make decisions, explore the world, and solve puzzles, but it's Misfortune’s voice acting and the choices you make that really drive the experience. The humor can be dark, but it’s Misfortune’s innocence and wit that shine through, making her one of the most genial and memorable characters in recent gaming history.

The art style is gorgeous, the soundtrack haunting, and the story… well, it’s a story that will tug at your heartstrings, even as it creeps you out.

This is my favorite game ever! Little Misfortune is hilarious, with just the right touch of sadness. It made me cry when I finished it—I just wanted to give her the biggest hug. I really wish it was longer. Now I’m just waiting for Killmonday to release something new. I absolutely love this and Fran Bow!

Little Misfortune never engaged me in. It's meant to be a "choices matter" game, but they didn't feel consequential -- even when the game began revealing consequences. It is more like a walking simulators instead.

One of the best most horrifyingly disturbing story games that I've seen. Little Misfortune is such a quirky and funny kid and adds a good bit of humor to the horrifying things that she experiences. 10/10 a must play for anyone in to story like and psychological horror games.

Well, it's just a brilliant and funny script. One of the best games in this genre that I've played.

Lots of dark humour lols, yet beyond all the absurdity, that was a tear jerker by the end. Strangely brilliant. Well worth playing.

Fun and sad at the same time. I adored little Lady Misfortune.

I quit this game pretty quickly due to the narration/story. I don't mind dark stories, but something seems super off with the details being included here around a child, and I'm not interested in continuing. After stopping, I read through more reviews and saw that I'm not the only one who noticed it, and many who played longer found even more along the way, and it sounds like they get even worse. I know a lot of people won't pick up on it, but there's enough there for me to not feel comfortable continuing the game.

I adore absolutely everything about this game. The story is great, the characters are lovely, the game itself is not too long which makes it easier to replay and it runs perfectly on my low spec laptop! Recommend.

Played for about an hour and fifteen minutes, and I just don't understand the appeal. I like walking simulator/narrative games, but this one is just ... not funny or interesting (vomit/poop humor not my thing). Misfortune's voice acting is arguably well done but super annoying. Although she is canonically 8, she talks like a 3 year old. The game also has some sexually suggestive content that feels like it's trying to pander to pedophiles. Gross. The baby voice, the suggestive content, and the body humor are making this a solid 'no' for me.

nah, i wouldn't recommend this game.
On the positive side
- the artstyle is nice
- the voice over is great
- it has in general a nice dark vibe and is creative

the reasons why not
- there is hardly gameplay, and the clicking and interaction with the world is cumbersome
- this game would be much better if it would skip the toilet humor and stay with the clever writing it otherwise has
- speaking of humor, i find it odd to have a story with a girl around 5yo talking about her titties and vagina
- in the end, the game didn't really have the emotional impact i thought it would have when i started it. I was kinda annoyed and happy it was over after i finished it within 2,5 hours.
- its overpriced. if you really want it, wait for it to go below 5€, then its ok.

I might let it run in the background to collect the trading cards, but thats it for me. And its a misfortune i can't recommend it.

a game where everything goes wrong, misfortune is my spirit animal.

This game is charming and funny. The illustrations are beautiful. I enjoyed this game so much that I played it 4 times in 2 days :)

Cute, funny, and depressing. I knew it wouldn't end well but I'm glad it was a bittersweet ending instead of just sad. Unlike the first game this one has almost no puzzles at all, and more of an interactive VN. I would definitely suggest to play it if you're into finding out a bit more about the world's lore, but for a game for entertainment? I'd say buy it on sale..

Emotional Damage!
Strange
Very strange
But with beautiful art style
but Very strange
Emotional damage is real
Not sure you want it

Um jogo bem bonito graficamente, com uma personagem bem cativante e carismática. Tem um gameplay simples mas é competente.
Interessante que mesmo sendo um jogo "bonitinho" ele aborda temas muito pesados como depressão, violência doméstica, suicídio, abuso de substâncias... Uma experiência bastante interessante. Vale pegar numa promoção.

It's pretty nice. I liked the artstyle and the voices. It's pretty sad at the end too. 8/10; would recommend playing it!

This was honestly one of the best games I've ever played. The story was incredible, the art style was beautiful - I would 100% recommend it.

6.5 | Um conto místico que junta a ambientação depressiva e miserável com uma essência infantil e inocente por meio do introspectivo da protagonista. Só não entendi o motivo de ser um jogo de escolhas. Dava pra seguir normalmente a narrativa sem precisar fazer essas escolhas que na maioria das vezes são óbvias ou obrigatórias.

Highly sexually suggestive content using an 8 year old girl as the butt of the jokes. Made me feel gross playing it. Wish I could refund but unfortunately I left game open beyond 2 hours. Making it private cuz gross.

Easy to play thought provoking game which will take your emotions on a roller coaster ride. It's a 5 hour game which I enjoyed every minute of. You make decisions which will affect the outcome so has replayability also, I just need to gather my emotions before going through it again with different choices. I highly recommend.

Such a good game!
Slightly disturbing, but it is supposed to be this way. It has a really interesting story. Because decisions affect the game, it can be played several times.

This game was such a fun mix of cute and creepy. I would recommend playing it at least 2/3 times to see all the outcomes and giving the mum eternal happiness was so worth playing this multiple times for me :)

Never have wanted a character to die more than the one in this game. Skip it and play Fran Bow instead.

I enjoyed this game. An interesting story with dark humor. However, I would not categorize this as a point and click adventure, I would say that it is a walking simulator.

Such a cute game, but way too short. Glad I didn't pay full price. I would have returned the game, but I played 3 hours on it so no return for me.

เกมดีมาก ภาพสีสันสวยสดใส เนื้อเรื่องดีย์ ต้องลองไปเล่น ต้องไปเล่นเองจริงๆเเนะนำเลย มีมินิเกมให้เล่นด้วย น้องจูนน่ารัก ทุกอย่างดีไปหมด ยกเเท่นให้เป็นเกมในดวงใจที่ดีมากๆเกมหนึ่ง

A fun story that follows a little lady in her everyday adventure as she tries to survive not only her home life but the outside world.

While the humour is appreciated, LMF lacks game play and characters. So many scenes lacked any real input from a player, it's less 'point and click' and more 'watch this game for fun while sometimes adding a click of your own'.

For those seeking a darker P&C, Fran Bow - referenced at the end of this game - is significantly better.

Oh my goodness, what a beautiful little game. You can feel the love that went into this. The artwork is gorgeous, the writing is clever, and the voice-work is excellent. It definitely deals with some hard topics, but they really utilise them well for a story that touches your heart. This will probably be one I look back on and still think about years from now, honestly.

From a game-play perspective, this is mostly a visual novel. Don't be expecting a ton of complex game play. You can expect choices that matter, though. I've only played through once so far, but it was very clear to me that there are multiple endings, and I could see choices I made playing out directly in the story. I fully intend to go back for another round to see what changes.

Don't pass over this game, or it'll be Yikes Forever ;)

An adorable and traumatizing journey — and I loved every second of it.

I thought I was getting into a cute little game with a sweet British narrator and an adorable girl… but oh, how wrong I was. Little Misfortune is the kind of game that makes you laugh and then, five minutes later, you’re staring at the screen in shock, questioning all your life choices.

Misfortune is an absolute sweetheart — innocent, a little clumsy, but so genuinely honest that you just want to protect her from everything. And the narrator? Yeah, you can tell he’s hiding something from the start, but you keep going because, well… curiosity wins over common sense.

Cute and uncomfortable in the best way possible.

Its an really easy game with two endings and a spark of horror. Its really interesting and i really enjoyed it. I would like it more if it had more things to unlock but thats all. Really cool game.

Little Misfortune is a fantastic game filled with humor and charm. The witty jokes kept me entertained throughout, and it took me around three hours to complete. I’m eager to 100% all the achievements because i really like it.

Overall, I highly recommend it!

i love the artwork of this!! such a lovely looking world - the story is also quite nice if a bit short, but id still say i found it very enjoyable

On the rails point click adventure style with very little challenge and a short romp. The production kinda makes it worth the price-tag. very well executed if lacking a few things. I'd buy again.

I enjoyed the concept of the game. I didnt catch onto the plot until close to the end.
Misfortunes tragic optimism despite it all is inspiring and keeps the game lighthearted.
I enjoyed the small bits of humor and the art style, especially the cinematics!

I will be playing this game again to choose the choices I didnt in the first play-through, especially to experience scenes that I may have missed.

If you enjoy stories with depth and taking your time enjoying mini games I recommended that you play this.

replaying it to get all achievements, there are so many things you probably wouldn't notice in your first walktrough it's crazy to me

I wish that we could rate games instead of just recommending or not. I would recommend it, but say that it's really weird, kind of a bland story that doesn't really make complete sense. I mean, you understand (I think) what has happened or been happening at the end, but too many things are left unanswered or not made fully clear. I don't want to give anything a way, but it is mostly clear at the end. Just some loose ends, in my opinion. The game was cute and I liked Little Misfortune, but it's melancholy and weird at times. If you like indie games that are a little dark, you really might like it a lot. It's not "horror," though. Just a little dark and fever-dream-ish.

Brilliant, charming, light-hearted yet very dark writing with cute art-book style visuals. One of those 'you just have to try it' if you like narrative driven games. 'Yikes! Forever...' will be a part of my gaming vocabulary for a long time to come.

First off, it's a ~2.5 hour game (assuming you stop and interact with everything possible) with almost 0 replay value. This would be acceptable for a game that was, like, $5 or less. But this is four times that. Even if the game was absolutely transcendent in that 2 hour window, it wouldn't be worth $20.

And the game that's there is just not good, either. There's not really any gameplay to speak of. There's one bit where you're doing an aim/power thing with a slingshot (with no consequences for failure). There's another segment where you have to find a code in a room with ~5 interactables, then use that to find another code. Then there's a bit where you have to play rudimentary whack-a-mole. And that's the beginning and end of any gameplay aside from holding the left or right key to move along the map. Which, alright, it's a narrative-driven experience more than a game, sure... but it's not really any good as a narrative piece, either.

They never decided whether they wanted the tone to be funny, spooky, or sad, so they tried to throw elements of all of those in there, which ended up going together about as well as ice cream and hot sauce. They make a lot of throwaway jokes with shock humor or toilet humor (none of which are good), so much so that it undercuts any attempt at unsettling the player with surrealism or horror elements. The ending (which I won't spoil, just in case you still want to play this hot mess) is also painfully predictable, Under it all, there's a bizarre romance subplot, which felt all around icky on account of how one of the parties is an anthropomorphic animal and the other is a literal 8 year old child.

Finally, the urinal cake on top is that the main character's voice acting is PAINFUL. I hate to say that since someone really gave it their best shot, but... yeah. I couldn't really say why it was bad - maybe it was the bizarre accent they chose that doesn't correspond to any earthly people group to my knowledge - but It made me want to claw my eardrums out every time she opened her mouth. This is a significant problem since you'll be hearing her voice throughout the whole game - one of her defining character traits is that she NEVER SHUTS THE HELL UP.

I mean, don't get me wrong - clearly some people are enjoying it, since as of this review it's listed as "Very Positive" somehow. But as for me, I feel like I should have been paid $20 (or more) to put up with this mess of a game, rather than paying them for the privilege.

I loved this game! It's a point and click style game with lots of dark humor. I didn't notice that choices mattered but they made for some funny dialog and cut scenes. Would definitely recommend for someone looking for a quick game.

Amazing and sad story. Also very funny. Recommend it to everyone. It's a point and click adventure. Specially if you like dark humour like me. Her voice is so cute.

i do not like this game at all i dont even know when i bought this or if it was gifted or whatever but it was in my steam library and let me tell you - i played for 30 minutes and cried it is not psychological horror it is just disturbing it just gets worse and worse definitely not for me i like cute fun games

Great game with beautiful visuals but your choices do not matter in the end at all.

Beautiful short game and cool story with some wtf moments.

I truly loved this game. it was very good , the story line was solid and so was the dialog. I just wish for the price it was longer with a little more back story.. over all a great game

Worth the price tag, enjoyed my time playing through and listening to the cringy, but interactive dialogue.
