Completed with 100% of achievements unlocked. 'Weird' is my overall reaction to Little Misfortune. While ostensibly a point-and-click adventure game, there's very little in the way of traditional puzzle-solving and instead the focus here is on storytelling with occasional binary choices, influencing proceedings to varying extent. That story is quite well done, but again, very weird - while our protagonist, Little Misfortune herself, is portrayed as a fairly naïve child with a positive view of the world, events around her take a very dark tone, and a disembodied presence, "The Voice", follows her throughout, serving double-duty as narrator. Production values are high and the voice-acting is excellent, making for a polished package, but the game's short length and dark tone mean that it's very much not going to be for everyone.
