This is a great, if weird game. The art gives a more family friendly impression but it's not long before the dark humor inserts itself. It tackles some surprisingly heavy themes often very tongue and cheek using the titular character Misfortune's naivety for often funny results. I really liked her character and a lot of the weird things that happen around her as you explore.

That said the game doesn't always get it right and when it tries to be more serious I feel is when it's at it's weakest. I also don't think the story is very good once all is said and done and I found the ending especially unsatisfying.

The presentation is excellent, I really like the art style, animations and music. The voice acting is also very good bringing to life the characters with great personality.

It only took me about 3 hours to beat playing slowly. Definitely worth it for a weekend playthrough if you're after something a bit different though it doesn't quite hit every note it aims for.

+ Dark and sometimes very funny.
+ Great art, animations and music.
+ Excellent voice acting.

- Story isn't that interesting, especially doesn't land at the end.
