Little Inferno is one of the best games I have played recently. The game is fairly simple. The player buys items from a catalog, places them into the fireplace and sets them on fire. Each item has its own unique properties that effect how the item burns or interacts with others. My favorite is probably the nuclear bomb which destroys everything in the fireplace in one glorious explosion.
The game is set in a dystopia of cold weather and pollution making the game a commentary on pollution. The player’s next door neighbor sends and request special items, the Tomorrow Corporation sends letters along with reports from The Weather Man. These combine to provide a satisfying story for the game.
