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.
