You wake up in a strange facility with no recollection of who you are or how you got there. That is, until a voice calling themselves ‘Ada’ on the other end of an intercom warns you that you’re being hunted, and promises to help you escape.

Bittersweet Birthday is a story-driven action-adventure game where every fight is personal, every victory hard-earned, and every clue a step towards uncovering the truth lying somewhere inside the miasma of mysteries.
Each encounter is a one-on-one showdown with one of your nemeses. Read your enemy, master their rhythm, and adapt to their patterns that blend Souls-like precision with bullet-hell chaos. Punch, kick, block, dodge and parry your way through multiple phases that feel like a final boss each time.
Â
Tweak the challenge to your liking through the Memory system. Memories are gameplay modifiers directly tied to the character’s pasts. They can make fights easier or harder, but never trivial.
Â

Between fights, catch your breath in a vibrant village full of strange and endearing characters. Complete side quests, dig into local mysteries, and enjoy a surprising amount of heartfelt (and often ridiculous) downtime.
