Most importantly, everything is shrouded in a certain eerie-ness, especially at the start, giving off an unsettling, slightly disturbing vibe.

As you progress through the story, a couple of new areas will open up you’ll need to ransack and there’s plenty of collectibles in the form of tapes, notes and other tidbits to discover on your journey. The city of New Elysium you inhabit is creepily enticing to look around in and explore. On your way to work, you can freely explore the small hub world, including a Jazz club, a couple of shops, a museum and your apartment complex. Initially, there’s very little context or explanation as to the how’s or why’s, which is kind of fitting, in a sense. When the game tries to do anything more than preparing the ultimate disheveled burger however, it can fall apart into a bit of an unappetising mess.Īwaking in your apartment, you’re immediately told to get your peasant-worker ass to Happy’s Humble Burger Farm to start yet another day of employment. The cooking element ends up faring much better than the horror efforts, while the story actually has a solid hook to reel you in. It wouldn’t appear at first glance to be a match made in Heaven to combine heinous jump scare tactics with the food-preparing genre, but Happy’s kind of makes it work.

If it sounds like I’m rambling, I promise you I’m not, it just turns out Happy’s Humble Burger Farm is a spirited, if somewhat lacklustre, combination of both of these approaches.

The Finger Guns review.ĭespite having never played the Five Nights At Freddy’s series, I’ve seen plenty of the jump scares and reaction to its uniquely terrifying offering. This is a great way for me to talk with people while I'm making the game, and gives you a good look into what the process is like for making a game!Īnd as always there's the discussions page on this greenlight (which I read, but probably won't comment on), and my forum at where you can post microsoft paint doodles for some reason.Combining horror with cooking, Happy’s Humble Burger Farm impresses and disappoints in equal measure.

Because I'm an Australian dev, the times that I go live are probably pretty crazy for some people. I've been streaming once or twice a week at, and while I'm doing this pretty infrequently at the moment, I hope to make it a bit more regular. I'm also experimenting with the idea of live streaming game development. You can also follow me on twitter, which is almost exclusively used as an avenue for me to post GIFs of CBD's development. If I get a few comments on this announcement, that's a good way to let me know that they're being read! :D Where I can, I'll also cross post announcements here on Steam, if that's something that y'all would be interested in. Major news and announcements can be found on my site, ! I'm going to be experimenting with different ways of keeping you all updated on development progress, but here's a few starters: There's still a long way to go before CBD is ready for Steam, and there's a lot of content I want to add to the game over the coming months.
