I don't usually make OTs for games anymore, but this game definitely deserves a thread and there isn't one, so bear with me on this!

Do you like dark fucked up stuff (w/humor)? Do you like wonderful fairy tales with great art, music, va? Do you like Swedish games? Do you like Foxes?
Litte Misfortune is a new interactive adventure by Killmonday games who made the widely praised and very good point n' click adventure Fran Bow. Fran Bow was a Grimm Fairy-tale-ish macabre adventure full of horrible violence & gore and dark themes but it was not a dark or mean game. It was actually a really charming fairy tale, just made for people that enjoy macabre stuff.
I'd say Fran Bow is probably closest to a horror/R-rated Undertale. If you haven't played Fran Bow yet, I really recommend you give it a shot. It also has a great cat Mr. Midnight! And cats are awesome.
Now Little Misfortune follows the same style as Fran Bow, it's a charming funny fairy tale about very dark stuff (dead kids and stuff). From what I've played of the game it looks like they really cut back on the gore to appeal to a wider audience (and also cut down on the puzzles, focusing more of choices with different outcomes), but even if it's not as violent and gory as Fran Bow, I'd say what I've played of Little Misfortune is even darker than that game. Back in the day this would be kinda like Spike & Mike's animation level of X-rated humor, but Southpark and stuff has kinda normalized it so it's more just dark R rated humor.
Anyhow, the art is great! The writing is great! The VA is....interesting (the lead artist voices the main character and she's got a pretty strong accent you're either gonna love or hate or feel it fits in with the weirdness [Killmonday Games is based out of Sweden]). It's definitely shaping up to be a great game from what I've played and I'd highly recommend it for people who like fairytales and dark humor.
Oh and did I mention that clicking on the main character Little Misfortune has her throw glitter on things to make them happy versions!
