SHA-DAAAAN! Little Misfortune is an interactive story where you play as Misfortune Ramirez Hernandez, a young girl, who goes on an adventure to find Eternal Happiness for her Mother, guided by an unreliable narrator dubbed "Mr. Voice". And it's daaark. You experience this microcosm through the rose colored lenses of a child with one foot in development and one foot in familial trauma. The humor is not going to be for everyone. Some of it is low-brow and a lot of it squeaks from a person who's in a formative period of self awareness while building a candy shell resiliency to the absolute grossness of adult behavior, against the growing tension raised by Mr. Voice. Misfortune herself feels like a cross between a juvenile Villanelle (from "Killing Eve") and a Fernando Botero painting. Misfortune's ho-hum attitude is both believable as coming from a child of abuse and very LOL WAT?! But I really felt for her and was moved by the ending. I urge people not to judge it against Fran Bow, the other game by this developer, because it is wholly its own thing despite some aesthetic and thematic similarities. It's definitely not as gruesome. Yikes forever. It took me about 3 hours to finish a first blind playthrough, then around 2.5 hours to go back and collect the achievements I missed because it was easy enough and I wanted to see the alternatives. I do wish there had been a chapter select and way to skip dialogue after the first playthrough but otherwise it is a pretty short experience. 3.75/5 for me because it is short, not really a game as much as an interactive story (so no puzzle-solving or anything like that, it's linear), and any subsequent playthroughs force you to listen to the same dialogue and do not provide a chapter select. That said, I still enjoyed it, got some laughs, and will continue to keep an eye on Killmonday Games.

I find this game very charming! Namely the dark humor and Little Misfortune's character. There's a few things to take into consideration before getting this game, though: - This game is NOT FOR KIDS. If you're a parent considering getting this for your kid, do your due diligence and look into its content before purchasing (i.e. playthroughs on Youtube). Animated =/= family friendly. This game uses its dark humor to bring up some very mature topics (i.e. sex work, drug/alcohol use). - It's a point-and-click adventure sort of game that focuses way more on storytelling than actual gameplay, and it can get REALLY repetitive, especially if you want to get all of the achievements. You're only given 3 save slots to play around with (technically 4 if you include the auto save slot). - Despite not being for kids, there's a little bit of toilet/gross-out humor in this game. I'm personally able to overlook it even though I'm not a fan, but if that's a BIG no-no for you, then put that into consideration. - Apparently people need to know this considering how many reviews I see complaining about it, but... as advertised, you play as a literal child. She will do/say childish and repetitive things that may annoy you. This is because she is a literal child. She also has a Russian-esque accent (according to the wiki, it's apparently Swedish/Chilean), which is apparently a hang-up for some people. - A full playthrough is only approximately ~3 hrs long. I'd recommend getting the game when it's on sale. I do wish Little Misfortune had more to it - in terms of more of your decisions actually impacting the game's outcome, and some more variation with its endings - but I think it's fine for what it is. And even though this game stands on its own, I highly recommend playing or watching someone play this dev's other game: Fran Bow! There's a few things towards the very end of this game that directly reference Fran Bow's worldbuilding. Fran Bow is a lot longer with a lot more in the way of actual gameplay, but is also WAY more graphic than this game by a longshot.

A small review for a little lady Misfortune is not kids-friendly, it's a dark and depressive horror about life and death. The writing is brilliant, the voice acting is memorable and deserves all the awards. Experience it yourself and for the first playthough don't try to get all the achievements — just enjoy the game instead.

I started throwing glitter every time I came across a problem, It didn't help fix it but it sure as hell looks pretty and sparkly (i'm a little delusional <3).
