You (the guy sitting in front of the fireplace) just sat in front of your Little Inferno fireplace, burning toys to keep warm, as days and weeks and years went by. (One of the dialogue options with the postman is something like "I just discovered I exist" because until the game pulls you away from the fireplace, there's literally no thought about who "you" are.)
Your apathy has been broken by the very dramatic burning of your house, and you have had to actually walk out into the world. You just keep burning things.įinally, you burn your house down, and Future Corporation has no feelings and isn't even sorry (they say they are, but they use generic customer service words that have no feeling or meaning behind them) about it. Your neighbour starts reaching out to you, trying to tell you that there is more than this.
They don't have meaning, they're just things to burn to unlock coins and combos. In Little Inferno, you buy tons and tons of toys. Little Inferno has an underlying message of anti-consumerism. I don't think I need a spoiler warning since this topic is "explain the ending". Just don't bother telling me that I'm being redundant, please. I say about *half* the things that the video covers, but I think I'll leave this post here anyways. Edit: I didn't watch the linked video above before typing this response.
