We need more games where everything you click on does something. I just wish I could save Mr Cabbage and carry him around like Wilson.

Playing this 31-year-old kids' game, I am reminded that, not only does the soundtrack bang, but also, I now believe that Fatty Bear's Birthday Surprise is behind a nightmare I had when I was 4 or 5 years old, which I still remember because it scared the shit out of me. In the dream - like in Fatty Bear - an anthropomorphic bear character was walking around a house, but unlike Fatty Bear, this dream-bear tripped and his fucking foot came off, which, of course, was terrifying to me at 4/5 years old. Fatty Bear's aesthetic and the basic theme of a bear walking around a house at night reminded me way too deeply of this 27+-year-old dream, and I did play point-and-click games a LOT as a kid, so I think I'm on to something. Final note, Fatty Bear's face in the game is unintentionally kinda scary, his eyes are just little white dots, it's like they're sucking out my soul.
+ the soundtrack is fire
+ vibey nostalgic visual/pixel art
+ you can compose music at the piano
+ you can create eldritch horrors with a head of lettuce
+ you can write slam death metal lyrics on a birthday cake
- the cake recipe is kind of ass. all this effort, pulling an all-nighter, and yet Kayla is going to have the most mid birthday cake ever. what was it all for, Fatty Bear?

My kids love all of the Humongous Entertainment games.
They don't make fun/educational kids games like this anymore.
If you have young kids they are sure to love these games.

Normally, I try to take price, time spent playing the game, and give a look at many aspects of the game I play through. If I was to do that, there are many other games that I would recommend over Fatty Bear. But, I absolutely adore older point-and-click games, especially those which came from Humongous Entertainment. While Fatty Bear only had the one title under his belt, the charm that was felt in many of their catalog is felt still.
The visuals and sound design are on-point. It doesn't have the more fluid and distinct look Humongous's games are known for, but has the old DOS visual style. You can also see this in the first two Putt-Putt games as well. I completely adore the graphics and that alone made me fall in love. The little sight gags when clicking on objects in a room brings me back to my childhood and I find myself with the biggest smile on my face.
The story is bare bones, but it doesn't need to be crazy. A game for kids, a short game that is very easy to playthrough, but that doesn't matter. If you have no idea about these games and are looking for more, this might not be for you. But if you grew up with these games, or find yourself charmed looking at the screenshots and little intro video, pick it up. It brings you back and you'll feel like a kid all over again.

The Fatty Bear you know and love.
Note if you're on Mac and the game is crashing on boot, ScummVm does needs an output audio device connected for it to work.

Summary
A short point and click educational game meant for children.
Pros
+ Fun
+ Perfect for kids
Cons
- Outdated
Overview
Fatty Bear's Birthday Surprise is a short cute point & click educational game meant for younger kids developed way back in the day and could be a fun little nostalgic romp for some.
It is a very interactive game where almost anything you click will have something happen and definitely captivate the younger audience. At this point there will likely be some things that kids will ask about as there are old technology and concepts that no longer apply in our current modern world.
Although there is a main objective to complete the game has no time limits and kids can explore and figure things out at their own leisure while also playing mini games and learning.
Definitely a good option for young kids to spend hours of fun on.
