First, be aware that this is a short appetizer of a game. 2-3 hours depending on your experience with the Point-&-Click genre. I would personally only buy it when on discount, as I think it is somewhat overpriced for how short it is at it's normal price, but that can also vary by preference. For it being a Point-&-Click game, the actual puzzles of it are actually really well done! A significant amount of it is just interacting with few or even just one monstrosity to see what happens which is really just stretching or moving it (basically barely any thought required is my point), but I personally think the game gets away with this because of its short length so it never lasts long, and the fact that the creativity and wackiness of the horror just never stops being interesting and entertaining. Aside from that, the game does actually have a story if you really pay attention to all the details and really think about what they're all inferring if that's something you're interested in (but it is more for the thrill and and engrossed in the metaphors rather than learning a very deep and rich story, but I do still think it's worth it for those interested). It's not an amazing or life-changing game or anything, but I would argue it's not really trying to be. Honestly for what it is, and the fact that the game really doesn't have, even smaller flaws combined with really good execution, I'd actually give this an 8/10. It's a pretty damn good experience. Very clearly if you're heavily disturbed by this kind of imagery I don't recommend picking this up, but if you're only decently disturbed, I would say try it out to get outside your comfort zone a bit! Just, probably wait for a sale.

Idk what kind of sick freak would make a game like this, but they're very talented. 10/10 would nightmare again

March 2025

This is the second Amanita game I beat, coming basically straight off Botanicula this was an ever so slight tonal shift. Happy Game is not a long experience at all, I beat it in two hours and the puzzles are very very simple. It's not a challenge at all, so if that's what you want this is not for you. It's also not particularly scary, in fact I think it's arguable whether this is even a 'horror game.' So if you want something that's gonna make you shit your pants, or if you've got a weak stomach for horror and were on the fence, let that inform your purchase. Did I like it? Yeah it's great. While it's not scary, the spooky stuff in this game is really awesome and has that bizarre charm that I'm realising this studio is pretty damn good at. The whole experience is fittingly 'dreamlike', with totally abstract and trippy moments. It's got the bizarre comedy and freakishly sweet moments of Botanicula too. There also seems to be a bit of a story, hard to piece together amidst the dreamlike framing but if you like highly interpretive stuff then it's a plus. Also, the music by DVA is incredible. The track they play in the trailer is hauntingly beautiful and might be my favourite single thing from this game. It didn't click with me the way Botanicula did and doesn't feel quite as special, but I think the opposite could be true and that there are plenty of people out there who would love this game. It's undeniably another work of art from the studio and I'd happily recommend it.

If you're a sucker for psychological horror with no cheap scares, unique art styles, and an all-around unsettling vibe, this is the game for you. This was short but very fun to play and experience. This isn't just a typical linear horror game. In my opinion, it’s very much worth the full asking price, as I think there's replay value in decoding the game's meaning. I also can't say enough good things about the artistic nature of this game. There's no dialogue here—just a story that unravels before your eyes. It offers a very classic "point-and-click" feel while also allowing you to roam using your keyboard when needed. The puzzles weren’t hard to figure out, but that doesn't mean you won’t be wearing a thinking cap! They were very well thought-out, even making me chuckle at how much I was overthinking. This is the kind of well-rounded, thought-provoking, visually appealing stylized horror I’m a sucker for, and I wish there was more of it out there in the ether. I genuinely hope the creator of this game is doing okay.
