History YMMV / LittleInferno

*** There's also a half-joking theory that Sugar Plumps is [[spoiler: a pyromaniac liar who deliberately faked her own death and then manipulated you into burning your house down for no other reason than to see if she could get you to do it.]]

** The standout among the soundtrack is probably the song that plays [[spoiler: In the city at the end of the game. It's amazingly atmospheric for a relatively simple song, and it fits perfectly with the finale.]]

** [[spoiler: Sugar Plumps's house burning down, letter and all. Even the nice, fireproof curtains she made for you burn up and ruin.]] It's just so sudden, and in such an otherwise safe environment, it manages to be [[WhamEpisode really shocking]].
** [[spoiler: The ending. The whole thing... the main character's house burning, getting left by Sugar Plumps, Miss Nancy leaving, and then The Weather Man taking him away from the city, into the unknown.]]
* UglyCute:

** [[spoiler: Sugar Plumps and the player character tend to fall under this, too, being somewhat thin, black-and-white, Tim Burton-esque creatures with big eyes as sweet-looking and innocent as they are off-putting.]]

* FridgeBrilliance: Because of the heavy graphics generated by burning multiple items at once, your iPhone will noticeably '''heat up''' in your hands.

** The major theme of the game? focusing on warmth rather than the cold. It's the same as focusing on relaxing to the point of the exclusion of working. Nobody is doing hardly anything, even though the world is freezing, and everybody tries to stay warm rather than risk being cold for a second.

* NightmareFuel: The Eager Bunny Plushie, especially those horrific noises it makes as it burns.

** The promotional video from Miss Nancy, with its {{Creepy Child}}ren, IronicNurseryTune jingle, ''Literature/BraveNewWorld''-style feeling of wilful dystopia, and the fact that ''everyone burns to death at the end''.
* TearJerker: [[spoiler: Sugar Plumps's house burning down, letter and all. Even the nice, fireproof curtains she made for you burn up and ruin.]] It's just so sudden, and in such an otherwise safe environment, it manages to be [[WhamEpisode really shocking]].
** [[spoiler: The ending. The whole thing...the main character's house burning, getting left by Sugar Plumps, Miss Nancy leaving, and then The Weather Man taking him away from the city, into the unknown.]]
* UglyCute: A lot of the plushies would apply to this trope, so would the little bugs skittering around the fireplace. Which makes it kinda [[TearJerker saddening]] as well as a little disturbing to see them get burnt to ash.

* NamesTheSame: There's the in-game Tomorrow Corporation, who created the Little Inferno Fireplace, and the real-world Tomorrow Corporation, who created the game.

* TastesLikeDiabetes: Most of Sugar Plumps's letters. The rest are NightmareFuel and ParanoiaFuel.

* EarWorm: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-0TniR3Ghxc It's Little Inferno, It's Little Inferno just for me...]]
** The shopping music will also be in your head for a ''long time'', and the fact that you have to constantly come back to it doesn't help.

* Fanon: While in the game she's never actually seen outside of a photograph of her face (thus meaning she's never seen from the neck down), Sugar Plumps is usually portrayed wearing a LittleBlackDress in fanart.

* UglyCute: A lot of the plushies would apply to this trope. Which makes it kinda [[TearJerker saddening]] as well as a little disturbing to see them get burnt to ash.

* CrowningMusicOfAwesome: Many people consider the soundtrack the game's finest feature. It's available for free from [[http://tomorrowcorporation.com/little-inferno-soundtrack the developer's website]]. Beware of spoilers in song titles!
* MostWonderfulSound: The opera singer, rather than jarring cartoony voice, has a very pleasant voice when activated.

* FridgeBrilliance: Because of the heavy graphics generated by burning multiple items at once, your iPhone will noticeably heat up in your hands.

** Why is there no save feature for this game? Because YOU CAN'T EVER GO BACK if you mess up.

** It's not just the temperature: The world's getting "colder" in the sense that there are no longer connections between people, and they "just don't know why" because they're distracting themselves to keep from dwelling on their isolation. The ending sees the main character [[spoiler:leave his house due to Sugar Plumps, seek out Miss Nancy, and go with the Weather Man.]] He might not know why it's getting colder, but at least he's trying to ''do'' something about it.
