Little Inferno

Steam title card.

Little Inferno is a sandbox puzzle video game developed and published by Tomorrow Corporation and first released on the Wii U on 2012-11-18, then ported to several other platforms. The game takes a past time that many people enjoy, setting fire to things you're not supposed to burn because you're bored, and makes a game out of it.

Personal

I got this game as part of a Humble Indie Bundle, and very much enjoyed it. By itself, it was worth the cost of the bundle.

Status

I own this game and have beaten it, though just shy of 100% completion.

Review

• Overall: 7/10
• Best Version: Windows

Good

• The game world has a wonderfully depressing atmosphere.
• There is an element of creepiness to the game with scary toys and the mysterious, often dark little girl.
• Unlocking goals by burning various items together is an interesting mechanic.
• The wealth of burnable objects and various animations created when they're burned together is quite impressive.

Bad

• While many of the goals can be determined based on clues from their name, I found that several of them made little sense, or would have worked better with a different item. This caused me a lot of wasted time.
• Having to beat the game again, while holding onto the hug coupon was awfully annoying for such a minor reward.

Ugly

• Nothing.
