Happy's Humble Burger Barn

Happy's Humble Burger Barn was the prototype concept we published on Itch.io in 2020. A little over a year later we created our fully featured title Happy's Humble Burger Farm. We wanted to release the prequel on steam so the game can be experienced by those who have never played it before!

It's time to show your new boss what you're made of. Don't let the Happy's Humble Family down!
Featuring a state-of-the-art Burger Chef Simulation™ that'll get your buns toasted and patty sizzlin'. The burger cooking is so realistic your very perception of reality will abruptly fade into a kaleidoscope of introspective turmoil that is re-transmitted as the ultimate low-poly PS1 burger cooking experience!

The sizzle of the burgers as they cook on the grill, like music to your ears, will lull you into a deep relaxation not unlike an ASMR whisperer with a rare talent and the highest-end microphone connected directly into your ears like vintage Leslie speakers with the rotary cranked. The crispy green lettuce, the tomato oh-so ripe and juicy, the onions sliced to perfection will have your taste-buds surfing the waves of satisfaction, impressing all the tourists that had congregated at Burger Beach on Flavor Island.

What tangled deep fried webs we weave.
Happy's Humble Burger Barn is a horror / thriller adventure with a focus on perception. This small game was made in a little under a month and is our homage to the PSX era and aesthetic. It's a short (~1 hour) experience in which we focused on experimental design concepts
