This game really captures the tension and fear that you would be experiencing if you were really in this situation. The atmosphere is incredible. The game is quite challenging as the next action isn't always obvious, and you have to look around sometimes to find things. Really enjoying it, about half way through currently, definitely going to finish it.

Today I bought the game in which you need a skill to pick up an item, and to pull a lever you need a skill tree. The game visually looks great, but if the developer did a quality check, then he has very strange criteria what is for sale and what is evidently unfinished project,and this game is exactly that. (c'mon pick that bloody battery !!!)...easy mode is playable, but in general such poorly optimized game cannot cost 8 euros.

The games strength is in the visual representation. The story is a mess and the gameplay is janky. It's on sale for a buck so for a dollar it's worth a playthrough which will net you about 4 hours but for 9.99 just pass.

This game is amazing. The game takes advantage of all the little details of human nature not usually included in video games. If you like a little fear and solve puzzles, this is the game for you.

Today is my Birthday is a horror game I stumbled upon that i felt was going to be great. The screenshots and idea behind it are exactly my cup of tea. I LOVE spooky theme parks and wish more triple A games covered them, but I digress. So, I thought this game would be exactly what I wanted. I really want to like this game as a cheesy horror movie-style experience. And here's the thing, I DO like it, but... I don't love it. I wouldn't even say I like it a lot. It has the potential to be a GREAT game, but it just doesn't quite live up to it, unfortunately. Pros: - The overall atmosphere is great. The sound track is good, and the sound design is generally pretty nice. A few hiccups here and there but overall it's not what takes away from the experience. - The overall level design VISUALLY is pretty good. Stuff usually looks nice and you can tell a lot of care went into the sets in each chapter. - The Picture taking aspect is pretty fun. One of my loves for Outlast is the fact that you are recording your experiences with a camera, and I just wish you could watch it over if you wanted to. I like being able to look back at the random pictures I took. - Each enemy was charming and creepy enough, and I enjoyed that the area's around each one really felt like it was THEIRS. the little introduction each got was a nice touch, too. - Even though the story is goofy and some stuff doesn't quite make sense, I feel as though it fits for the cheesy 90's slasher horror movie vibe that the game gives off. I don't detract anything from the game for this, it just feels appropriate and is still very enjoyable. Cons: - Graphical weirdness. The depth of field which is on by default makes it seem like your character's eyesight is atrocious. It hurt my eyes until I turned it off, which improved how the game looked by quite a bit. While most stuff looks good, there are quite a few textures which just look bad, and a few areas that are clearly stuff you aren't supposed to go to but are just off the beaten path that look really unfinished. - The player's running is.... not good. I don't expect the main characters in every horror game to be dedicated athletes but I do hope that someone who plans to be walking a long distance has the basic human ability to jog more than 10 feet without getting so winded and exhausted that, even the adrenaline of being chased can't give him the energy to keep going. The stamina mechanic isn't bad, but it feels like the only reason it's so short with such a HARSH long cool down is because the enemy AI wouldn't be menacing enough without our hero almost passing out after a quick run down a hallway. - The enemy AI is pretty lackluster overall. The early area's with the dogs in it felt like the dogs were added in last moment as padding to give a slight threat to an area that really didn't need it. the bad dudes themselves either have object permanence issues or they simply stop caring after Thomas leaves their line of sight or gets out of 10 feet of them. - I hesitated to include this as others have, but just to have the full review up I will include it here too: it's really hard to find things and figure out what you are supposed to do, pretty often. I usually am pretty good at paying attention to my surroundings but I found i had to look up stuff a few times pretty early on because I just couldn't find it. Like, right after Thomas says "hey, I shouldn't get near that dog", turns out... we gotta get near the dog. I heard Thomas say this and, well, I obeyed. I didn't go near the dog. I stayed away. I was surprised to find that once I got TOO close to the dog, as in right in front of it's face, did Thomas say "now wait a second, there's something on it's collar." this wouldn't be a problem if there was a better indication that this was something we needed to do. This was just the oddest example i could think of, the game has a few instances of stuff like this, but this one felt the most..... odd. Overall, I really do want to love this game, and again I really do like it. It just has quite a few really glaring issues that unfortunately take away from the experience a lot. If some of the issues get fixed, which I have seen that this is something the dev is looking into, I feel like this would be an easy 9/10 if not a 10/10 experience for people who are looking for this style of game.

I actually like the game. Even though it has some issues, I do enjoy the graphics and scary moments. You constantly feel that someone is trying to kill you.

An old classic horror game. In Today Is My Birthday you have to advance in the game by solving puzzles and avoid being seen by the evil clowns and crazy people. If you enjoy horror games and you have guts to solve the puzzles in the game, try it out and you would love the game.

It is a cool game. Mediocre story, but has engaging gameplay, good graphics and lots of puzzles. From the cons side, I can say that it has quite a few bugs, partially boring story and certain puzzles are extremely hard

A game for those people who love a well-thought-out creepy horror that gets you creepy. You feel this atmosphere of a half-ruined park where everyone is trying to scare you or kill you. I recommend!
