Happy Birthday

Description of Play Experience:

This is a 3D first-person horror game where you carry a cake on a tray and must balance it by moving the mouse to left and right all the time. The tray tilts depending on where you point the mouse, so you need to carefully adjust it as you move through the levels. The game starts with a simple intro level where you practice balancing the cake. Then, as you move forward, the levels get harder, and each one has its own vibe and theme based on the story. At the end of every level, there’s a red door you walk through to reach the next level.

The game has a deeper meaning—it’s about a failed relationship. Each level represents a stage of that relationship, starting with all the roses, happy moments and ending with everything falling apart. It’s designed to make you feel that emotional journey while trying not to drop the cake.
