Little Misfortune

Little Misfortune is a 2019 adventure video game developed and published by the independent Swedish studio Killmonday Games. It released for Linux, macOS, and Windows on September 18, 2019, for Android and iOS on February 13, 2020, and for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch on May 29, 2020. Set in the same universe as Fran Bow,[2] the game's titular character is Misfortune, an eight-year-old girl with a childlike naivety and a dark sense of humor. Misfortune, a self-described "little lady", is guided by a voice in her head, which she names Mr. Voice, in a game to seek the prize of eternal happiness for her mother. She is smitten with Benjamin, a non-verbal fox whom Mr. Voice strongly warns Misfortune against interacting with.

Despite its initial child-friendly introduction, Misfortune quickly finds herself exposing or being exposed to numerous elements of shock humor, including death, alcoholism, substance abuse, suicide, nudity, profanity, grave robbery, strip clubs, demons, traffic collisions, cruelty to animals, and the grim reaper.

The titular character Misfortune is voiced by the game's writer, designer, and artist Natalia Martinsson, who worked alongside husband Isak Martinsson to create the game, while Henrik Norman voices Mr. Voice, the game's narrator and antagonist. Little Misfortune received mostly mixed reviews from critics.

Gameplay

Set in a 2.5D perspective, the player may only move forward or backwards. At certain points in the game the player has to make choices for Misfortune, which may trigger special animated cutscenes. The game will also prompt the player to guide Misfortune's hand to perform certain actions or play minigames, such as fixing a broken vase or playing Whac-A-Mole.

Plot

Set in 1993, eight-year-old Misfortune Ramirez Hernandez lives a sad, lonely life with her abusive parents on the outskirts of the fictional town of Openfields, Sweden. The narrator announces that today is the day that Misfortune will die, and is surprised when Misfortune says that she can hear him. The narrator, whom Misfortune calls Mr. Voice, invites Misfortune to play a game wherein she will make choices where "there is no right or wrong, only consequences", and for which the prize is eternal happiness. Misfortune accepts, hoping to win the prize for her mother, and Mr. Voice begins the game by asking her to leave the house. Following his prompts, Misfortune is guided through the streets of Openfields, encountering an anthropomorphic fox, whom she calls Benjamin, several times, who flees when she gets too close. Mr. Voice warns her against interacting with him.

Pursuing Benjamin, Misfortune discovers a book that explains that Mr. Voice is an other-dimensional being named "Morgo". Benjamin is evidently a "protector" who strives to protect children from Morgo but is forbidden from interacting with them directly. Escaping Morgo, Misfortune finds herself in her front yard, seeing her own corpse having been run over by a car, meaning that she’s been a ghost for most of the journey. Benjamin leads her through a portal to the Fourth Reality where she encounters death, who had been expecting her. If Misfortune sprinkles glitter on 16 selected objects in the midst of the game, another ending will play where her mother receives Misfortune's happiness, takes off her mask and smiles.
