* FireOfComfort
FireOfComfort
* GiantSpiderGenreDeconstruction: Seems to be a deconstruction of games like Farmville as you are, as one character puts it, burning your stuff which drops more money to buy more stuff and then the cycle just repeats itself. The dev team said in an interview the idea came from a "7 second loop of a flaming log. And [they] thought "Man, that's like a super boring game that some awful company will totally make for the Wii or smartphones." Also there are constant parallels in game between the game and reality. The friend sending you letters brings up that you can't turn away from the Entertainment Fireplace, as though your character were addicted to it like a game, and she brings up how burning things is basically like burning time. They also mention how the fireplace is basically an escape from the cold harsh reality outside, among other things.

The story is told via a series of letters sent from different characters you meet along the way: [[TheCutie Sugar Plumps,]] a little girl who is in the same situation as you [[spoiler:and is your next door neighbor]], [[CuddleBug Miss Nancy,]] an employee from Tomorrow Corporation, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin The Weather Man,]] and [[TheFaceless a mysterious figure.]] Throughout the game, you burn items and spiders that crawl through the fireplace, get coins, then buy and unlock various new things to burn from the aforementioned catalogs. True to the real world, you have to wait for the items to arrive, but usually do not surpass a minute, and can be sped up with stamps that are collected from burning things. There is also a combo system in place that is sometimes required to move on to unlock the next catalogue. The combos are fairly easy to figure out; for instance, [[AppliedMathematics Alarm Clock + Instant Seed Packet = "Springtime".]]

The game takes place in a freezing world, one that is getting inexplicably colder with every passing day. As a solution, the sinister Tomorrow Corporation sells the [[TitleDrop Little Inferno]] Entertainment Fireplace. All that is needed are some things to burn, and a couple of complimentary catalogues, given to the player at the start.
