Pity Party is a deceptively-cute Point-and-Click horror game made in January of 2020, by creator Lumine Noctis.
You play as a girl at a lonely birthday party when two strange guests arrive. By clicking around, you find items you need to use to win. It's a bit creepier than it sounds.
Tropes found in Pity Party:
- Bait-and-Switch: Played for Horror. The rabbit and clown are made out to be creepy characters, but ultimately they're the victims, and the innocent-looking girl is the one who's actually evil.
- Beast Man: One of the guests is a man with a rabbit head. He'll only eat carrots, and the protagonist even refers to him as a "bunny man".
- Birthday Party Goes Wrong: Invoked. The party doesn't turn out very well; both the guests end up dead, and the birthday girl remains alone and evil.
- Creepy Child: The protagonist claims nobody came to the party because everyone thinks she's weird. She spends the game staring silently at the camera while creepy events unfold, and reveals herself as a demon at the end.
- Hair-Raising Hare: The rabbit-headed guest isn't exactly cute and cuddly. He snaps at you for not having "toppings" ready for the cake or carrot, and it's soon discovered he's hiding a big knife in his jacket.
- Monster Clown: One of the guests is a creepy looking clown, who gets angry when his cake doesn't have "sprinkles" on it.
- Nasty Party: Both guests end up being murdered. The rabbit eats a poisoned carrot, and the clown swallows thumbtacks with the cake.
- One-Person Birthday Party: The party starts out with just the protagonist celebrating alone, before two guests do show up.
- Surreal Horror: The horror in the game relies on things being nightmarish and strange, such as the two creepy guests, the protagonist being alone, and the guests casually eating poison and thumbtacks.
- Tampering with Food and Drink: You must give a poisoned carrot and a thumbtack-decorated cake to the rabbit and clown respectively in order to "win" the game.
- The Unreveal: The girl's name is scribbled out in the credits.
