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).

If you can handle really triggering content in games and enjoy a bittersweet, heartbreak filled story? This game deserves your attention. It's a beautiful, haunting, sad, hilarious, crude, weird experience that I am glad to have experienced 3 times already in the last month. If you want content warnings, they are at the very bottom of this post so people can choose to avoid them. ❥ Accessibility Other than being able to change the music, SFX, and dialogue volumes independently and the fact there are subtitles - there aren't really any accessibility settings in this game. I'd love to see CW on the Steam page because I know Steam has the functionality for that. ❥ Audience/Difficulty ☑ Easier Than Easy/Story Mode/New Gamer Friendly Mostly walking and talking, choices and consequences. You have a few mini games that take more. But it's largely walking and choice making - very simple game play. ❥ Bugs ☑ No bugs encountered ❥ Graphics (Accounting for different art styles) ☑ Beautiful It's very unique graphics that play perfectly into the story they are trying to tell. ❥ Gameplay ☑ Slow ☑ Fun It's not very action packed but it is varied and interesting depending on the choices you make, the mini games you are on path with, etc. ❥ Game time / Length ☑ Really short (0 - 3 hours) ☑ Short (4 - 8 hours) It's in the like 3-5 hours range, usually. ❥ Music ☑ Beautiful I listen to the soundtrack sometimes when I just need something really pretty to listen to with no lyrics. Up there with Night In The Woods' OST. ❥ Price / Quality $ ☑ Worth full price It's $19.99 and I feel like that's worth the experience I had. If you think that's too much for a bespoke 3-5 hours of your life, wait for it to go on sale. ❥ Story ☑ All story, no action You've got to be here to commit potential crimes, see cute animals, fart, fall in love, eat dubious mints, maybe see and hear too much, experience a story or else this isn't the game for you. There's very little non-story action in this game. It's extra fun if you've played Fran Bow and remember some of the universe building though that isn't required to have fun! Over all, I think people should play it if they want to laugh and maybe (likely) cry who want to hear the heartbreaking tale of the adorable Little Lady herself, Misfortune Ramirez Hernandez. Killmonday Games has a choke hold on me and I hope that their lives get better, and they get back to their other projects someday. They are great. I couldn't imagine not playing this game again and I only played it the first time at the end of December 2023 - now I've beaten it 3 times, I'm speedrunning it, I've gotten all the achievements, I've made all the different choices. I'm happy with this choice. As promised, content warnings: Suicide, death, domestic abuse, sexual content/nudity, violence, profanity, drug use, a lot of vomit lmao
