## About Little Inferno

Little Inferno is a 2012 indie adventure from Tomorrow Corporation that tasks players with burning objects in front of a fireplace to unlock combos. The single-player puzzle experience uses item-burning mechanics alongside a combo system that rewards experimentation. Players describe the atmosphere as contemplative, with the soundtrack frequently highlighted for enhancing the mood. Reviewers note that tactical positioning matters when selecting which items to burn together. Set against the backdrop of a cold world glimpsed through a chimney, the game blends casual gameplay with a critique of consumerism. Priced at $14.99 USD, it holds a 96% positive rating from over 5,400 Steam reviews and runs verified on Steam Deck. The experience suits short, relaxed sessions for solo players.
