Best Nintendo Switch Games #44 – Little Inferno

Developer: Tomorrow Corporation

Synopsis: In a world grown disturbingly cold, you must burn objects to keep warm. As you experiment with throwing different items into your fireplace, a strange and dark story unfolds involving your next door neighbor, a weather man in a balloon, and the Tomorrow Corporation itself. Keep burning more things to stave off the cold, even as you wonder what lies outside your warm house.

Why it’s one of the best Nintendo Switch games: Few titles or companies could pull off giving players such a vague, aimless objective as throwing things in a fireplace and have it work for them, but Tomorrow Corporation does with Little Inferno through a carefully-timed series of plot revelations that allow the player to infer their own meaning from their insatiable burning. The quirky, dystopian aesthetic Tomorrow Corporation games are known for serves them well as they craft a tale that will chill you to the bone.
