Little Inferno's gameplay trailer debuts just ahead of its Wii U launch

PC beta access available for pre-orders.

Little Inferno - the debut effort by the World of Goo and Henry Hatsworth creators at Tomorrow Corporation - has released a new trailer showing off its pyromaniacal gameplay to the public for the first time.

This article contained embedded media which can no longer be displayed.

The game transpires entirely in front of a fireplace where you must burn items ordered from catalogues to stay warm. Based on the trailer it seems to bear World of Goo's quirky satirical spin on a gloomy capitalist world. Plus it's got that game's Kyle Gabler composing more haunting, Danny Elfman-esque music, which is always a win as World of Goo had one of my favourite game soundtracks ever (and one that can be downloaded for absolutely free here).

Little Inferno will be a Wii U launch title, so it will be out on Sunday in the US and 30th November in Europe.

If you don't want to wait that long - or don't plan to pick up a Wii U - the PC version is slated for release on 19th November and pre-orders grant players immediate access to the beta. It can be pre-ordered directly from Tomorrow Corporation for $15 (or your local equivalent) or for 10 per cent off ($13.49) on Steam.
