Seven days from now, players are about to unwrap one of the wildest indie treats of the year. Bittersweet Birthday, the frantic boss-rush action adventure from World Eater Games and published by DANGEN Entertainment, launches on November 11, 2025 for PC, with console versions coming later.
Imagine waking up with no memories, only a mysterious voice whispering directions as deadly hunters close in. The clock ticks, anxiety climbs, and every instinct screams: should you trust the voice, or is it part of the nightmare? Bittersweet Birthday blends heart, tension, and razor-sharp combat into a surreal journey that hits as hard emotionally as it does mechanically.
A Boss-Battle Experience Built to Break (and Reward) You
This isn’t your lazy stroll through a monster-filled meadow. Bittersweet Birthday is inspired by the high-stakes spirit of classic PC boss-rush adventures. Every encounter is a dance of survival, patience, and pure adrenaline. Think multistage battles, evolving attack patterns, and the sweet victory rush that follows every successful dodge and counter.
If you crave combat that demands brain and reflexes, this is your arena.
Between Battles, A World Full of Heart
Just when the tension peaks, the game softens into warm exploration. Wander a quirky village, bump into lovable oddballs, uncover mysteries, and soak in lush pixel art that feels lovingly stitched together one sprite at a time.
This world isn’t just a battlefield. It’s a storybook with sharp teeth.
Features That Make This Birthday One to Remember
- A vibrant village bursting with side stories, secrets, and unforgettable personalities
- Brutal skill-based boss fights that learn, evolve, and demand your best timing
- A darts mini-game… with a twist (Yep. The darts fly at you. Good luck.)
- 48 charming Gachapon collectibles to hunt down and treasure
- Gorgeous hand-drawn pixel art and atmospheric environments
- Pet a dog? Yes. There’s a dog.
