Little Misfortune
This charmingly dark fairytale follows an optimistic young girl on a quest for eternal happiness. Navigate surreal landscapes and interact with peculiar characters in a story-driven adventure with adult humor.
A native macOS version of this dark, story-driven adventure is available on Steam. The Mac build is Intel-only (x86_64) and runs on Apple Silicon through Rosetta 2 translation — it's a Mac app, but not a true arm64 native one. Expect a ~10–15% performance tax versus a real native port.
