The disparity between the older more mature speaking mannerisms of the voice and the youthful voice of Misfortune is a pleasant parallel to the game’s overall contrasting themes.īacking up the spectacular voice acting – a simple soundtrack, while nothing to write home about, evokes a sense of childlike whimsy which serves to amplify the experience.

Seeing her fail and (many times literally) fall and then pick herself back up all the while edged on forward by a mysterious voice was an unforgettable experience.īoth Misfortune’s accent and the voice’s warm timbre serve as a strong foundation to uniquely memorable characters.

There are two possible endings, however the difference between them is a single scene which is not worth the replay if you didn’t manage to get it the first time.Įxamining the eerie, depressing and surreal world Misfortune lived in through the veil of her innocent naivete was the game’s greatest strength. The journey mattered much more than the destination. It was rather banal and fairly predictable, but I did not mind that at all. One element that was on the weaker side was the conclusion. The characters are fantastically written and I was heavily invested in figuring out what was going on. We are not sure who to trust as the voice has been becoming increasingly ominous as well. The voice, however, insists that the fox is a “bad fox” and has stolen the Eternal Happiness. We eventually reach a point where a third character is introduced, a fox that Misfortune seems to have a crush on. Another excellent example of the cute-dark-comedy trifecta would be Misfortune saying she wants to be like mommy when she grows up – “ a juice drinker.”Īs we play, Little Misfortune becomes progressively more surreal, the line between real life and the girl’s imagination blurs. One in particular has entered my own vocabulary: “Yikes forever.” A child-appropriate remark Misfortune uses when she sees something unpleasant since she gets reprimanded by the voice for using adult profanity. The game is peppered with comedic quips, which is the magic ingredient that manages to tie together the somber and sweet so well. We see her horrendous living situation, her ability to not lose heart and choice to look on the bright side of things. Passing by the dinner table Misfortune comments about last night’s dinner being amazing: her father actually said “hi” and mother wasn’t that drunk. She throws some glitter and makes it all better. As we leave the house to look for Eternal Happiness, the prize for playing the voice’s game, Misfortune has a peak in the fridge revealing a small pile of dead rabbits. Little Misfortune herself is a fountain of positivity, taking on each challenge courageously.
