First Cake Day and a Story So Long the Candle Burns Out

Budget: $50!
Have I lowered your expectations for giveaways yet? Good. Then let’s begin!

Hey there! Hello! Do you know what day it is today? It’s my very first Cake Day!
Too much talking already? Then here you go ⇒ Skip the long story button

This site is full of amazing people, isn’t it?
Yes, the ones that just popped into your mind! (I bet there are lots!)
They host all kinds of fun events and puzzles, and even give away incredibly expensive games.
So I thought I’d try imitating them a bit and bring some games of my own! (Just imitating, so don’t expect anything too fancy, okay?)

The games I’ve picked are based on a recent poll—thank you to everyone who responded!—and they include both bundle games and games I personally like.
There are a total of 12 titles:
3 are games I genuinely recommend,
3 are games I like for no real reason,
and 6 are just bonus filler.

I’ll reveal two games a day, and all giveaways will end at 10:00 PM JST on June 15.
For the level restrictions:
The bonus games are set to Level 1+
The rest are set to Levels 3~5.

No tricky puzzles this time—just some jigidi puzzles that require motivation, time, and a slight risk of wrist pain.
Oh, and I had the AI draw some concept art for each game. (Totally copying that great time-traveler guy.)
But AIs these days are just too good, and the images ended up being pretty obvious. I was hoping for something more chaotic and silly!

Once you see the final image, you’ll probably know which game it is, so feel free to skip it if it doesn’t interest you.
And as for the bonus games… they’re really just your typical games, nothing fancy!

So! Keep your expectations low and enjoy!
About region locks—there shouldn’t be any issues, but if a key doesn’t work, please agree to have it removed. I’m really sorry if that happens.

Oh, and by the way! This entire message was translated using ChatGPT.
So if anything sounds weird or makes no sense, go complain to OpenAI! 😆

Random Excuses and Rambling (You really don’t need to read this)
Personally, there are many more Japanese games I’d love to recommend.
But since I live in Japan, a lot of games I buy here are region-locked.
I thought about gifting through Steam directly, but regional pricing differences felt too risky.
And if someone wins but can’t redeem the gift, that would just be sad. I really didn’t want to cause trouble for the winners.
So I stuck to games available on GMG or Fanatical.
That’s why there shouldn’t be any region lock issues. Enjoy!
