![]() Cute Creature, Creepy Mouth: In the Child's second dream, if you ring a bell, a giant rabbit pops up.One sequence festures the Schoolboy, a giant doll with a glass head that the ball you've been chasing gets stuck inside, and a doll features in the room of broken toys, with her arms stretching and her head splitting open to reveal a shadowy creature holding the next toy piece. ![]() Creepy Doll: There are multiple instances in the first chapter.Creepy Children Singing: The soundtrack uses eerie childlike voices in some of its songs.Crapsaccharine World: The second nightmare's first half shows this, with idyllic grassy fields, happy rabbits and cutesy heart people.and also vicious, monstrous giant rabbits and head explosions at the slighest unhappiness for the Hearts.Casting a Shadow: This happens in the background lights during the first nightmare, often showcasing things to come in the next encounter.Call a Smeerp a "Rabbit": The Elks in the third nightmare look absolutely nothing like elk, instead resembling little cyclopses with antlers.Bright Is Not Good: The majority of the second nightmare consists of lush candy colors, but the chapter is also very grotesque and gory.Said legs also make weird creaking noises in a musical sort of fashion. The larger ones resemble hollow jack-o-lanterns, but breaking them reveals them to be shadowy. Two small variants resembles crude scarecrows, and they're capable of teleporting the Child to each other if he gets too close. ![]() Botanical Abomination: The Pumpkins in the third nightmare.Other occasions include cutting bunnies into two new ones, the heads of the Elk exposed on sinew, and a smiley face creature having arms poke out of its face orifices. Body Horror: Unlike the games beforehand, Happy Game dabbles into this frequently, especially during the final sequence of the second nightmare, which depicts mutilated, still-living bodies of the previous characters littered throughout the abyss.Heck, a warning before the gameplay starts directly clarifies that Happy Game is not a happy game. Blatant Lies: The title Happy Game doesn't really bring to mind a violent, psychoactive horror game that is definitely not happy.Big Bad: The Smiling Demon is the one responsible for giving the Child deadly nightmares which he must escape.Balloon Belly: Feeding a rabbit a carrot will have it gain one, but it loses it if they're cut apart.Animate Inanimate Object: You'll encounter some from time to time, including but not limited to living toys, guillotines, rocks, and so forth.The Child and his dog end up riding a Pumpkin to get past some scarecrows, only for it to stampede along with other Pumpkins across a white void.

Ambiguous Situation: Is everything in the game real and the Child really is being tormented by an Eldritch Abomination for its own sick amusement or is everything part of a Dying Dream as the Child, now an adult, suddenly seems to die in his room.Ambiguously Absent Parent: The main character's parents never appear onscreen.The Demon is present in the flashbacks showing how the Child lost his toys and dog, and in the second flashback the Child seams to actually be able to see the Demon. While most of the events really are nightmares, it's heavily implied the Demon is real and created the nightmares the Child is having. ![]()
