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.

Get it on sale since it's only around 3 hours long but it's a very creative spooky dreamlike game with intuitive and creative puzzles. Gotta love amanita design's style mixed with short and sweet gameplay.

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.

This Amanita Design game is a haunting exploration of childhood fears wrapped in a deceivingly charming art style. It delivers a surreal experience that kept me captivated from start to finish, blending clever puzzles with unsettling imagery and a chilling atmosphere. While its disturbing themes may not be for everyone, those who appreciate psychological horror will find "Happy Game" to be a memorable and thought-provoking adventure. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3265437909 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3247644736

April 2024

You play a boy who goes to bed and stumbles from one nightmare to the next. Most of the time there are positive things like bunnies, smileys, teddies, clowns hearts, etc. That are corrupted or become collateral damage themselves. Every smile in the game seems artificial and tortured. The very red-heavy color scheme and art style contribute perfectly to the strange, dark and gory experience. The whole game, including the controls, is kept very minimalistic, but that fits the content. Nightmares don't explain themselves either, they just get straight to the point. The gameplay and puzzles are, on the whole, simple, intuitive and macabre. Or who hasn't cut a bunny in half with a guillotine? Or actually doubled. Complicated thing.
