Going into this game, I heard that it was a dark comedy game. I suppose that some people with gallows humor will find this to be a laugh riot, and don't get me wrong, I thought some parts were really funny! My point is that this game ended up way more than a comedy game. If you're looking for a comedy game, you'll probably like Little Misfortune, but it will also pull at your heartstrings easily just as often. I'm 100% blown away with this deeply emotional, but also silly oddball of a game. P.S. My playtime ended up about 3 hours after I did a leisurely stroll through the game clicking on everything. Felt very worth the price though.
If you're looking for an easy game, this isn't it. Made in the days where blood sweat and tears was the motto of the gaming industry, this game will confuse and irritate you to no end... in a good way. A limited number of saves that can only be used in specific places will make crashes and mistakes frustrating as hell... but don't dispair! the majority of times that you die will end up resulting in reincarnation later on in the game... which can actually be very annoying if you wanted to keep the person you were playing... This results in a constantly changing experience, with a feeling of permadeath. And then there is the font! I guarantee you will find yourself struggling to understand the majority of documents and street signs until you get used to the... unique... font used. Despite these set backs, I consider them as much of a plus as a negative, because they all add to the atmosphere of a foreign and hostile world, where you could actually die at every corner. The way the game tailors the dialogue as if you are an outsider inhabiting someone's body inside the game world is fantastic too, and very few games have the chance to make this sort of idea work, much less as well as Omikron manages it. I give the game 5 stars for Challenge, Plot, Atmosphere, Music, and Creative nerve. I highly recommend it if you like sci-fi, demons, rebelion, and strippers.
