Congratulations on your new...

<span class="bold">Little Inferno</span> entertainment fireplace, available now, DRM-free on GOG.com with a 50% launch discount.

Little Inferno is a peculiar little game. Partly because it's a simple fireplace simulator, and partly because it's an emotional rollercoaster. (It's also something of a puzzle game.) In Little Inferno you'll spend most of your time doing two things: buying things, then burning those things. Enter your inner pyromaniac - there's a curious satisfaction to the burning, and the focus of the game is executed perfectly with beautiful tongues of flame. But little Little Inferno is about far more than fire and puzzles - it's an experience, an interactive art piece: self-aware, moving, beautiful. If there's one thing to say about Little Inferno, is that you just can't say too much, you have to see it for yourself.

Among the Little Inferno goodies you'll find the full OST - in both MP3 and FLAC formats. The tracks are fire.

Enjoy your <span class="bold">Little Inferno</span>, available now, DRM-free on GOG.com The launch discount will last for one week, until October 15, 12:59 PM GMT.



In the press:
"The test I want a good game to pass is simple: I want it to stick with me. I want it to seep into my thoughts days after I played it. Little Inferno is simple. It's somehow both quaint and bold. It lingers. It burns brightly. It burns well."--Kotaku

stg83: More games here is a good thing so with this release what do the folks proclaiming that "there is no incentive for bringing old bundled indie games on GOG because everyone already has them", have to say now? :)

Clearly GOG's highly curated approach is unfathomable and arbitrary as there are better old indie games that still aren't available here like Thomas Was Alone, Limbo, Braid, Super Meat Boy, Antichamber and One Finger Death Punch to name a few (including rejections).
I think it is good to wait and see what happens after October 15...

tinyE: I have a three story fireplace in my living room, and yet I feel strangely compelled to get this.

deonast: I wish I had a house large enough for a three story fireplace. My dreams of a palace in the mountains are far off.

As for the game I've heard good things. I'll pick it up. I also appreciate the FLAC soundtrack option.

hmm just checked seems I own it on humble and steam. Well might as well make it a trifecta
Well that's just it, it's not my house, it belongs to our guest. Trust me, if I wasn't running an inn my fireplace would be little more that a picture of a flame on my smart phone. :P

Paul31286: Apart from Thomas Was Alone, which of these games were actually rejected by GOG?
Braid and One Finger Death Punch were also rejected as far as I know and maybe more among those but can't say for certain regarding the rest.

JMich: It's a nice little story about a boy living in a big cold city and trying to connect with others. It's a story about consumerism, and how it consumes us. It's a story to bring out the arsonist in you.

tburger: Hmm....[scraches his head]
I want to know what the hell this is about, too.

I read the description, watched the video, looked at the screenshots, read the review, the comments & even the Wikipedia page. I know LESS than what I did when I started.

Does anyone really know what this is about, or is everyone just pretending they do while giving vague outlines of some alleged plot?

In the Wikipedia page, it says some girl who kills herself but doesn't, sends you drapes. For your fireplace.

Fireplace drapes. This seems like a horrible idea, but I guess the objective is burning things anyway? But why would you have decoration if you're going to burn it? That's not decoration, that's fuel!

WHAT THE HELL IS THIS GAME???

What's so special about the 15th?

Gaming wise, it's a puzzle one. Choose items to try and combine to get to the next level. You buy an item with ingame cash, when it burns, it gives you back cash (if I recall correctly, more than it cost). So you keep burning items.
Previous comment about the stories still apply.

Story, puzzles, interaction. What is missing for it to be a game?

So it's a mobile game on PC? My 6 year old niece was playing some game with a dolphin that swam around & collected coins that she then spent on something or other. And there were treasure chest & diamonds, I think. Not the suit of cards, the suffering inducing shiny rocks that people kill each other for.

Is it anything like that?

Doesn't sound like it, even though Little Inferno does seem like a lovely game for a tablet as well.

No, technically, Little inferno is very close to "doodle god" sorts of gameplay. Try to combine elements, and use the results to unlock more elements to try out new combos with.

Little Inferno is more about how it's done (design, atmosphere, symbolism, etc) than about the gameplay itself. It's very much fun, but not exactly in a chess way. It's almost a toy.
