You may remember Hans Christian Andersen's story "The Little Match Girl," in which a little girl was forced to sell matches on the street in the cold of New Year's Eve. In that story, the little girl had several hallucinations and then died. In my version, some other stuff happens.
The Little Match Girl series of games is rated T for Teen.
