Play OverviewPlay Overview

Little Inferno (2012) is a simulation game about throwing everyday objects into a fire to find which combinations cause the biggest blaze. It's an exploration challenge to work through the wide-ranging objects to see how they interact with each other once lit.

Little Inferno is all played in a brick fireplace. You play a child left behind in the deep of winter who must burn things to stay warm. You leaf through your catalogue to find various objects, such as toys, dolls, and electronics and then set them on fire.

The result is a game about investigating how the combinations of objects and placements affect the heat (and coins) they generate.
