“God” games have always had a certain pull to me, as there’s something fascinating about being able to control the lives of digital beings through the press of a button. Happy Birthdays delves fairly deep into this sort of appeal, yet simultaneously remains shallow in the execution.
Happy Birthdays kicks off with a really strange story segment, with some confusing exposition about wandering through a cave. The reason that this portion is so unmemorable, is because it is literally never referenced again. There is no story to the game other than the first five minutes, which makes me wonder why it was included in the first place. Luckily, these sorts of games rarely require any sort of backstory, and Happy Birthdays is no exception.
