Little Misfortune is not directly about happiness or unhappiness. But through the strange, somewhat creepy journey of a little girl with a smile, you then find your eyes sting. Life is indeed full of extreme unhappiness that cannot be named. What if everything seems to be focused on an innocent baby?
Introduce about Little Misfortune
The unfortunate girl went to find happiness again!
General
Little Misfortune is a popular indie game from Killmonday Games, which is said to share the same universe as Fran Bow. This connection is only at the world level in Fran Bow which has a connection to the world of Little Misfortune and while playing Little Misfortune you will meet some of the characters from Fran Bow somewhere.
However, these two stories are completely different so far. The developer also has not made any confirmation that there will be a game that explains all the worlds in the two games above as well as how these many worlds will close to form a common thread.
The story thought it was fun, but it turned out to be dark
Designed as an interactive story game combined with a puzzle and exploration adventure, Little Misfortune is one of the famous tricks in the indie game world. Why?
This game looks so pure, with a cute start-up scene in a house with a small family of 3 with the main character being a lovely little Misfortune girl, with smooth shoulder-length hair and big round eyes.
Just when you thought you were witnessing a childish gentle game, that’s when you started to realize something was wrong. Everything gradually became strange, dark, and a bit creepy and if you think of things in the adult world, this game is so naked that it is scary. It will make you obsessed with compassion, because of the thin line between unhappiness and happiness and about what people often call “family”.
An unfortunate girl just like her name
The story begins in the seemingly peaceful house of Little Misfortune. She named her so because she thought her presence would be a misfortune for many people, including herself. The girl was born from an “accident”, both Misfortune’s father and mother were then attached to a person they had no feelings for, like a contract to live in the same house.
She had a pimp father, who was immersed in alcohol and drugs all day. He often beat and abused her, while her mother was no better, taking her out all day to berate her, blaming fate, neglecting her, and not caring, like a type of mental abuse. But Misfortune is nevertheless carefree, loves her parents unconditionally, and does not complain about anything.
One day, Misfortune met a strange character named Mr. Voice. This voice expressed surprise that the girl was able to communicate with her and from there, a strange game of discovery opened. Misfortune gets Mr. Voice promises to bring a gift of “Eternal Happiness”, which she has always wanted to give her mother. The girl began to follow the instructions of Mr. Voice travels to many places, uncovers many mysteries, and also meets countless strange characters that the world has never seen before.
However, from the very beginning, the voice of Mr. Voice has always reminded the player that Misfortune will die, very quickly. And that all you’re about to get through here is just a game.
Another important event is also related to the starting point of Little Misfortune’s journey. The little girl before leaving to carry out the instructions of Mr. Voice had brought a jar of glitter with them. Whenever things around her turn bad or when she feels scared, she will sprinkle glitter in front of her face and start to imagine in a more positive direction. And when the situation gets better, she will receive a Spark in her heart. You need to remember this detail carefully, because if you collect enough Rays in this heart, in the end, a true ending of the game will open up for you.
In Misfortune there is another character, which can be considered the third main – a fox named Benjamin. Mr. Voice and Benjamin seem to have some sort of vendetta, so Mr. Voice is constantly looking for ways to separate Benjamin and her feelings and always badmouths Benjamin when given the opportunity. More strangely, Benjamin himself was always trying to give Misfortune some direction or sign, but whenever she approached, Benjamin always ran away as if he didn’t want to face her.
Play about one or two locations according to Mr. Voice, you’ve probably started to realize that this character has something very dark. Voice has always been associated with things that are deadly, diabolical, and dangerous metaphors. The most typical example is the mice in the dark cave doing evil things such as smoking, stripping, and dancing crazy, symbolizing the bad life of her father and mother. In this scene, you also see that Misfortune picks up a bag of white candies that she thinks are mints, puts them in her mouth to eat, and then falls into a floating state.
At this point, Little Misfortune has completely revealed the horror hidden behind the pure curtain of the lovely 8-year-old protagonist. Her life is as unhappy as her birth name.
After all, finally, Mr. Voice commands Misfortune to find the fox Benjamin and steal the so-called Eternal Happiness from the fox.
At the end of the game, every ending doesn’t change the sad truth
The story comes to an end when Benjamin is revealed to be a Guardian, who always protects children from a dark force called Parasites from another world. The Parasites are hunting the souls of children to offer as scapegoats to a supreme power they worship, a force capable of destroying all worlds is present in Misfortune and Fran Bow that we have known.
And Mr. Voice is none other than an insidious Parasite. Poor Misfortune is dead at the beginning of the game. Later, when recalling, the girl dimly realized that she had soullessly followed Mr. Voice, crossed the street, and was killed by a car. However, this is also the time when Mr. Voice realized that Misfortune could hear him, and could communicate and converse directly with him, unlike any other child spirits he had seduced.
From here on, he began to want to tease and play with Misfortune’s soul until he got bored. This also explains his words at the start of the game that this girl will soon die and that it’s all just a game.
The final scene is when Baby Misfortune comes back home in the eerie silence and no one hears her call. At this time Mr. The voice asked her to play the game with him again. Now if you refuse to play with Mr. Voice, he will go mad and manifest himself as a monster named Morgo. Bodyguard Benjamin arrived just in time to slay the monster with a single blow. She then begins to remember her death in real life and gradually understands what happened. Benjamin patted her and led Misfortune to safety in the afterlife.
As Misfortune said her last goodbyes to her mother and left, at the end of the street she came across a bell. If you vibrate it and you have previously collected the Rays in your heart, then a diamond will appear, and Death will appear to guide Misfortune further to the right place.
The game stops if you don’t collect enough Rays. But if there’s enough, you’ll get one more cutscene that shows the rays converging into a flying ball that gently warms a mother’s heart. She smiled and looked up at the sky for the first time.
To explain this, you need to know more details: the driver who hit and killed Misfortune was none other than her father. What does a mother’s smile mean? The miserable husband who put her life on hold, her tormentor both physically and mentally, and the person she detested was finally accused of killing her daughter. And Misfortune, the daughter who was both pitiful and a burden, the misfortune that had followed her for all these years was finally dead.
The two people who made her life shackled together disappeared, leaving her alone. Although lonely, but completely relieved and from here can shake off everything, to prepare to rebuild a new life, and better hope.
The story has no happy ending. No matter what Misfortune died, no matter how that innocent face with big round eyes ended up in the afterlife, the obvious fact that was a bad past with her never changed. Even that damned mother, the last smile that appeared on her lips, sounded strangely cruel and cruel. Unfortunately, all are true. In the end, the adult’s alienation, the cowardice, and the badness of the grown-ups were poured out on the poor girl’s head. Though Misfortune is not guilty.
