 Twisted firestarter, August 23, 2023The "classic fairytale re-imagined" is one of the most heavily over-represented genres in IF, but when Ryan Veeder does it, you pay attention. You play the titular match girl, freezing to death on a street corner but able to teleport to different times/places/worlds by striking matches. Gamplay is super-straightforward fetch quests: find an object / find the right NPC to give it to, or find an NPC / figure out what object they would like. Superluminal Vagrant Twin-esque. It's elegant, clean and simple. Locations are varied and surprising. NPCs are deftly characterized and full of life, despite how little they actually say and do. Was this review helpful to you?

Light the fire up in the night, March 30, 2023by Lance Cirone (Backwater, Vermont) If there's one series that's interested me lately, it's Ryan Veeder's Little Match Girl games. I hear about the thing so much, and the increasingly crazy ways it develops and new games get revealed. So I took the time to check it out for myself. Was this review helpful to you?

Quest through time and space, with a Hans Christian Andersen setting, February 6, 2022This game takes the classic, depressing/sacrifical tale of the little matchgirl and uses it as a setting for a larger story. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No Remove vote | Add a comment

A short time-travel story, January 4, 2022by Dan Fabulich By means of the matches, you'll travel through time and space to various places, meet a handful of charming NPCs, and solve a dozen inventory puzzles. Keep notes and you'll probably solve it in under an hour. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No Remove vote | Add a comment
