Here, we’ll give it a go: Little Inferno is a game in which you order items from catalogs, burn them in a beautiful interactive fireplace, and somehow this earns you more money to buy more things to burn.\nSound intriguing? We didn’t think so! Yet somehow, developers Tomorrow Corporation (of World of Goo fame) turn this strange, casual game concept into a two-to-four hour experience that we all found deeply emotionally and intellectually satisfying. If you’re into games as art and games as culture, you’ll want to check this one out. A great and utterly unique game, and a great episode of The Short Game.\nAvailability\n\nLittle Inferno on the Wii U eShop – $9.99\nLittle Inferno on Steam for Mac, PC, and Linux – $9.99\nLittle Inferno for iOS (iPad and iPhone) – $4.99\nLittle Inferno for Android – $2.99\n\nPreviously offered as a part of Humble Indie Bundle 8.\nLinks\n\nMuppet Character Birthdays – The Muppet Wiki\nBit Brigade plays Mega Man 2 – YouTube \nBit Brigade on iTunes\nMetroid Metal – BandCamp\nSlime Girls – Vacation Wasteland EP (The source of our AWESOME theme song)\nSlime Girls on StoreEnvy – Pre-Order the Vacation Wasteland EP Cassette!\nMortal Kombat Theme Song, 10 Hours – YouTube\nStar Trek TNG Ambient Engine Noise (Idling for 24 hrs)\nJhonen Vasquez\nCow Clicker, a Facebook game about Facebook games by Ian Bogost\nLittle Inferno’s message explained by Tomorrow Corporation – Digital Spy\n\nYou can follow our show on Twitter at @_shortgame\nYour hosts this week were:\n\nRaygan Kelly – @raygank\nShane Kelly – @8bitShane\nNate Heininger – @natestl\nLaura Nash – @laurajnash","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/CxYZwjjs_4iLjyLDzLnaaznbL5170eSsi-gM7hls96Q/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9iYzFm/ZGZmOGU2NDYxOTZl/YzAzNTU2NWM4MzJk/NzBmNy5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
