In this review we talk about Bittersweet Birthday, a small gem that seems to have slipped under the radar. It tells a story about fighting your inner turmoil until it breaks loose and envelops you. Following Van, a young silent boy who is constantly pushed around by the people in his life. The game offers a cast of memorable characters, a mix of fun mini-games, and an emotional story that gives the whole experience real weight in a boss rush style that doesn't feel all that fitting.
