Yes, the items from the catalogs take time to reach you generally between a few seconds and a few minutes, and the tickets can buy you instant delivery, which is quite useful when you think you’ve figured out a combo but you have to wait 5 minutes to get one of the items. The coins are used to buy items and new catalogs and the tickets are used to speed up shipping. This is the essential gameplay loop that Little Inferno offers.īurning things produces coins and, at random, tickets and combos also produce those coins but always drop tickets. These combos vary from the extremely obvious (the “bike pirate” combo requires you to simultaneously burn a toy pirate and a wooden bicycle) to dumb puns (the “chain email” combo involves Email and a chainsaw) to various combos that require you to observe effects that happen when you burn things (like the “colorful flame” combo that requires you to combine items that change the flame.) Burn things.
#LITTLE INFERNO ALL COMBOS SERIES#
You are presented with the fireplace, a series of catalogs from which you can order various items and, crucially, a set of combos that you have to figure out from their names alone. Nonetheless you’re not playing with some dumb video game or action figure playset, you’ve got a fireplace, and your only mode of playing is to burn things. The art style and tone of the game seems to be set in a version of Victorian London, but the world doesn’t map exactly on to ours and there are more modern items like televisions and automobiles present in the world. You play an unnamed child in a dystopian city locked in permanent winter, where going outside is discouraged and instead kids stay inside and play with toys.
#LITTLE INFERNO ALL COMBOS SIMULATOR#
What kind of game is it? A fireplace simulator puzzle game, of course. It’s not a difficult game, and the gameplay isn’t its strongest draw, but it’s a game and should be judged as such. When it was released there was some discussion as to whether it was a game or some kind of narrative interactive toy, like a visual novel where you burn stuff instead of chat with high schoolers, but there are enough established rules and gameplay challenges to mark this as clearly in the game category.
Little Inferno is a decent, if shallow, puzzle game with more resonance than ever after the last year and a half.
