In the 3 hours I spent with Little Misfortune, I laughed and I cried, I was ashamed and proud, disgusted and endeared. I was heartbroken, still am a little, to be fair, but also ended the game with a soft smile. Everything you heard about this game is true, and then some. Especially if you have played Fran Bow before - which isn't necessary, but *strongly* recommended - you will find Little Misfortune more of a visual novel than a point & click adventure. Puzzles are hardly worth mentioning, but there is lots of interactivity and choices to make. Choices that beg for a replay of the game - after my first go I had 17/35 achievements unlocked - but as much as I want to, I can't, not yet. Little Misfortune is fantastic. It looks fantastic, sounds fantastic, I'm sure if it could, it'd smell fantastic (although, come to think of it, no, no it wouldn't) but it's especially fantastic at making you feel things. Uncomfortable things. Painful things. As any good art should. And I guess that's the bottom line: Little Misfortune is one of those games that beyond the shadow of a doubt proves that this medium is just as good a vehicle for art as any. And Killmonday Games are artists.

A sad but beautiful game. Just like Fran Bow, it’s a cute looking but dark psychological horror experience. The storytelling is really strong and the art style fits the tone perfectly. It really feels like you’re stepping into a twisted fairy tale storybook. The music and voice acting also add a lot to the atmosphere and make everything feel even more emotional and memorable. I also liked how the game constantly mixes this innocent, almost childish presentation with really dark and uncomfortable themes underneath. I can definitely recommend it, especially for people who have already played Fran Bow.

Why you should or should not play Little Misfortune What is Little Misfortune? Little Misfortune is a cute decision based game where you play as a little girl who is honestly just very misfortunate you could say. Quick Pros ✔ Runs well on lower-end PCs ✔ Strong visual style ✔ Detailed world design ✔ Interesting story ✔ Memorable characters Quick Cons ✘ Short main story Initial Thoughts: -"I love the GLITTERRR" -"Oooo I wonder if the narrator is evil because hes talking to us." -"Ohhh...oh..." Beginner Player Friendly? I would say this game is very beginner player friendly, it definetly has some easy to understand controls and is very easy to understand what the objective is to continue through the game play. I would say that even though it has a cutesy art style, I would argue that this game is not family friendly. Game Play: The game play is very straightforward, follow the narrators directions, and interact with objects in the world. You control the outcome of the ending of the game in a way, as there are multiple endings. Graphics: The graphics are simple 2D animation and suite the games character very well. For as dark as this game can get the graphics seems very pleasent in comparison. Community: The community is very friendly and seem to be still active on the steam community page. How long can you play? This game is quite short but is still quite enjoyable. However, It doesnt have to much replayability. So if you want a short but sweet game this may be more ideal for your game style. My Opinion: In my opinion if youre looking for an adorable cutesy but dark game to play this may be the game for you. Overall Review ★ 7/10 - With an art style like this this game could never be super dark and birthed straight from hell itself right? Glitter. ✘ Active Online Multiplayer (meaning people will interact with you in game) ✘ Family Friendly (meaning friendly to all ages) ✔ Solo Playability (meaning you can play by yourself if preferred) ✘ Cross Compatibility (meaning you can play with friends through other consoles.) ✘ In-App Purchases (meaning you can buy things after buying the game i.e DLC's) ✔ Controller Compatible (meaning you can play this game with a controller) Enjoyed this review?

I was a big fan of Fran Bow, so obviously it would be no surprise to learn that I was excited for Kill Monday's spiritual successor. What I didn't expect, however, was just how deep the game would cut me. I recognize this is a personal thing, not exactly how it'll land for everyone, but as someone who grew up in a similar household as Misfortune - with parents who hated eachother, hated me and often were absent in a multitude of ways - and how that familial disconnect in turn pushed me to further retreat into my own fantasies of a better existence, even if it were unrealistic, it just really demolished my heart. The art style is absolutely adorable and unique, the music is great and the performances are wonderful, but that's unsurprising, given Kill Monday's track record. And that's without even discussing the world building, and lore, that is being crafted around both games the developer has crafted now. Truly interesting stuff. I played this a little bit before on an old computer, but couldn't run it. That was a handful of years ago. Then I finally played it through its entirety on Xbox, and let me tell you, the climax hit me like a train splattering a deer. It brutalized me in ways I couldn't have anticipated, and was forever grateful for as a result. Let me tell you something, and you might consider this a spoiler, even if it doesn't directly divulge plot points, and that is this: Fran Bow is dark, it is grim, and it can feel hopeless, but there is also this air of survival to it. There's a sense of "this can be overcome" there. There is no such thing in Little Misfortune. It is relentlessly positive in both spirit and attitude, but it's a facade. It's a childs way of protecting themselves from the horrors that surround them and persist in day to day life, and I know this because, well, the narrative makes it clear but also because I did the same thing. This game is not happy. It doesn't have that safety net. It is miserable, but in a way that feels earned and understandable. This game will break your heart, ruin your day and you'll thank it for the opportunity. Because of the societal expectations and value we put on women, especially women when they're young girls, the world can somehow feel simultaneously suffocating and directionless. You are directed by so many voices, rarely your own, and it makes simply existing as a woman almost impossible at times, especially if you lack the self esteem to believe in and trust yourself, and when you're a child? A child with absolutely no real world experiences or even critical thinking skills, yeah, abuse can seem normal. Surely this isn't an isolated incident solely around me, right? This must be a normalized thing we all experience! But it isn't. You just don't know any better. I know it's a narrative. I know it's fiction. But there's so much underlying truth and sadness to the manner in which it's presented that it's impossible not to get these sorts of views off it. Little Misfortune is glorious. It is a storybook of bleak desolation disguised as compassion, and if anyone is going to know what that's like, it's women. People pretending to be interested in you and your well being only to further their own agenda. But that being said, it's also a lesson that's for everyone, regardless of gender. Being forgotten, ignored and hurt by the very people who are supposed to love and care for you, nurture and guide you, yeah, that effectively destroys what could otherwise potentially be a fully functioning human being, and can, more often than not, cause them to retreat into a fantasy world, because reality simply isn't worthwhile. We see the sadness, and like Misfortune, we cover it in glitter to maybe, even if only for a little while, pretend it's anything not half as bad as what it is. Yikes Forever.
