Fantastic Game... Until it Began Crashing
Mon Feb 17 2020 SaltySwanThe parts of the game that I was able to play were super fun! The backgrounds and character design were absolutely stunning, the voice actors were fantastic, and the story was incredibly engaging.
However, I was unable to finish the game due to its constant crashing. Not only did the game crash a few random times throughout my play through, but whenever I attempt to enter Benjamin’s house, the game crashes. I’ve tried to get around this several times, but nothing seems to work. I’ve tried loading a save file that placed me at the end of Phantasmagoria and reentering the house, clicking the “Continue” button on the home screen once I was inside the house, but nothing seems to work. I adore this game and would love to finish it, but I can’t.
Is there anything that can be done to fix this?
A breath of depressingly fresh air.
Mon Jul 05 2021 EscafreyaLittle Misfortune is one of those games that doesn’t quite fit the usual qualifications for a game. There’s very little to the gameplay other than moving left and right, and interacting with objects. It’s akin to an old Sierra point and click, but much shorter. And I’m fine with that. Little Misfortune is more of an experience than it is a game, similar to the likes of Journey or Abzu. And maybe it’s just because mainstream games have become nothing more than shameless cash grabs, but even in its brevity, Little Misfortune has more heart and soul pouring out of its illustrated narrative than any AAA release I’ve played recently. Be warned though, this is not a story for the faint-hearted. Little Misfortunes journey to find eternal happiness for her mother is fraught with danger and disappointment. But for anyone willing to undertake the perilous task with our Little Lady, the ending is an emotional and depressing while also somewhat uplifting climax that will stay with you for a while. Warning: as of this review, the IOS version has a bug that keeps you from getting the “good” ending, so completionists be warned, you can still win the game, but not %100.
If you want the full experience just get it on pc
Sun Aug 30 2020 krissy laviThe game is great and other than the weird frame rate during cut scenes it runs fine. You can get thru the whole game without experiencing anything game breaking, until you reach the end of the game. Toward the end there is a VCR you can interact it’s supposed to play a video then it breaks and you can use misfortune’s ability to “fix”bit. But when you interact with the VCR the game loads for a second the crashes. This prevents you from using her ability which thus prevents you from collecting all the things you need to unlock a separate ending of the game. I’ve tried to interact with the VCR multiple times and it crashes the game every time. This is disappointing because I would have love to unlock the ending myself without having to look it up online. The game is still playable but the inability to collect everything makes it somewhat disappointing.
Beautifully haunting
Sat Jun 04 2022 DogG0dess3597This games mechanics are like non I have ever seen. All you can do is move left and right and interact with objects, and yet the simplicity of choices make this game so very engaging. It’s dark, but that’s what I like. The stunning art, acting, and story had me on the edge of my seat the entire time. I’ve just gotten into darker things(more horror comics and movies, games like this,) and I could easily tell this was one of the best of its genre. Be wary, it gets pretty dark so make sure you can handle it. It also has some language. If you can handle it, please don’t hesitate to play this masterpiece of a game.
This game is not for me, but still...
Sun Jan 17 2021 S.Ali AlwedaieI don’t get the promise of this game. It’s clearly not for toddlers for its “mild” profanity and violence, yet it’s filled with stupidly simple mini-puzzles that are incredibly dull to solve. So who’s the target audience?
I downloaded the game for the adorable character and her cute accent so I can’t complain. Overall I acknowledge that the game is not for me and therefore my opinion is biased. but still, I can say that the gameplay was incredibly boring. The decisions you make don’t seem to have drastic effects and many clues may be safely ignored which made me lose interest in pursuing them. I just wanted to finish it up, like a school class you don’t like.
I’m sure the developers have put a lot of effort into this. Having negative comments like this could be really demoralizing. I only think they had misjudged their target demographic. I’d say remove the profanities and make it an exclusively children’s game. Then it would be a wonderful game.
Beautiful
Sat Dec 28 2024 Opossum likes the gameWhile the actual gameplay of the game is very little, the story is beautifully executed and the graphics are great. It has a story book feel to it, but you can feel that something’s off with the world around you. I feel like the art adds so much to the story. The story book feel, simulating Misfortune’s child like innocence, and the little bits of horror tied into it to remind us that the world around us is strange. While I do enjoy puzzle games, I also enjoyed this interactive story game. I’m currently playing Fran Bow and I enjoy the puzzles so far, so I know this studio has some great games!
Such a good game
Sun Sep 26 2021 cinnamon bun 321Here’s a short overview: you play as a little lady named misfortune on a journey across her town. It’s mostly an exploration and story game. There’s very little action. There’s no jump scares but it is a great creepy fall game. There are decisions and consequences. The play time is roughly 2-3 hours from start to finish if you do everything. Think of it kind of like buying a little movie where you get to play the main character. It reminded me very much of Night in the Woods, Oxenfree, or What Remains of Edith Finch. Absolutely charming - I’ll probably play it again in the future just for funsies.
A little sparkle for you, and a little sparkle for you, and a little bit for me!
Fri Feb 21 2020 -bad MinioN-I adore Fran Bow and was looked forward to the release of this game on ios... And... She did not disappoint, although the games are completely different in content. Beautiful visual style, amazing music and voice-over voices, amazing, cynical, but touching story... I would like to be able to play on the iPad(the game does not load), and I would really like to see both games on the PS4(honestly, there are chances ?😉) ... Thank you for the next masterpiece!🥰 Your games are unique!
