Little Inferno

voglio bruciare casa mia adesso

Little Inferno is a classic cosy game so expect a very chill, enjoyable experience whether it's listening to the crackling fire, testing out new things to burn or hearing the screams of burning children. First I'll focus on the gameplay which as, you can pick up on by this point, has a lot of interesting items to burn and they all interact in ways that really tests your imagination. Making you want to not only continue but to take your time exploring all the interactions that are taking place, with a combo system that even promotes that very things. It's gameplay loop of burning to earn money is so simple yet clever and fits perfectly paired with a wait time on items further in the game. Which even we're looking at the mechanic a bit deeper you could say gives you time to reflect on the capitalistic themes at play but I'll talk more on that briefly. Circling back to the combo mechanic because it does have it's flaws admittedly like some of the names are now dated so many people might miss out on them and that the back end combos have so many options in terms of the items you could use that you end up sat there baffled at what it wants. Rounding the review off I'd like to say there is more qualatitive substance within this game than just gameplay and that is again of what it says about capitalism. Jingly themes with a loud overbearing track playing when in the catalog but complete silence when returning to the fireplace smartly displays the allure companies use to attract and in a way indoctrinate the youth into pursuing a strictly monetary lifestyle (as your character is a child as well as other children). Burning all of your worldly possessions for money and the characters in the story show the corruption of a society like this. Now spoilers for the ending but when you blow up your house and go see Miss Nancy it's revealed she's the head of the makers behind the Little Inferno which is presumably permeating the existing nuclear winter. My thought process is the popularisation of the Littler Inferno caused enough CO2 to keep blocking out the sun resulting in a feedback loop for the corporation where more people are forced into buying Little Infernos as it grows colder. Then Nancy leaves on her rocket ship from the money she made of the backs of children so she can escape a world she helped doom I'll say this to wrap it up, another Tomorrow Corporation classic with not just fun, inventive gameplay but a story to match, a must play for self respecting reviewers who are interested in story based and cosy type games.

Score: 9 / 10 ⭐ Little Inferno is a strange, cozy, and slightly dark experience that really sticks with you. I was first introduced to this game when I was a kid at a friend’s house. Back then, I really wanted to play it fully, but I didn’t know where to get it. Years later, I finally saw it on the Steam store and picked it up on sale, and it was absolutely worth it. Burning items in the fireplace sounds simple, but the atmosphere, music, and subtle storytelling make it feel special and memorable. The DLC is a great touch and fits the game perfectly, adding more charm without taking away from the original experience. Little Inferno isn’t about action or difficulty, it’s about mood, curiosity, and that quiet, strange feeling that stays with you.

Dobrá oddechovka se skvělou grafikou a spoustou dobrých nápadů. Lepší dávkovat po menších kouscích a nesnažit se vše plnit na 100%. Nekomplikovaná hratelnost, ale při delším hraní monotónní. Pro rozluštění některých hádanek je nutná dobrá znalost angličtiny.

Обожаю эту игру, лет 11 назад поиграл в неё впервые, теперь решил купить её в стим и пройти её ещё раз, очень люблю её атмосферу и музыку в особенности

Es un juego corto que logra transmitir varias sensaciones como sentirte cómodo y melancólicos. El juego es sencillo, comprar objetos, quemarlos y resolver combos que funcionan como acertijos para seguir avanzando. Todo está pulido y eso sube más las expectativas, más de lo que imaginas. Cosas que suman mucho: Diseño artístico, sonido, interfaces y físicas muy bien logradas. Música épica y memorable, desde momentos críticos que pueden sacarte alguna lagrima, hasta incluso en cosas absurdamente simples. Concepto original que mezcla puzzles con un tono tierno y extraño a la vez. Ahora, lo que le juega en contra: Algunos combos no están muy bien diseñados ya que no se explican bien y por tanto te obligan a probar suerte o por el contrario, acceder a la wiki. Falta variedad, sigue siendo las mismas físicas, cada tanto tienes objetos nuevos con efectos e interacciones únicas, pero el 70-75% de los objetos tienen la "misma" interacción al ser quemados No tener Workshop le quita demasiados puntos, es decir, vos miras el juego y dices que es el típico juego que tiene una workshop con 5k de mods, pero desafortunadamente, no es el caso de Little Inferno y es una verdadera lastima, porque se podrían hacer demasiadas cosas, desde añadir más libros, reworkear objetos, mejorar mecánicas, etc. Igual, no quiero que se lleven una mala impresión, el juego cumple, es hermoso, con una historia muy atrapante, es disfrutable jugarlo y terminarlo es increíble. Por eso se lleva un sólido 8/10

For a game that revolves around buying and burning things it's surprisingly fun and satisfying, albeit somewhat lacking in replay value. It's nice to just watch little trinkets burn and the message behind the game really tops it all off. Highly recommend for anyone who likes fire.
