YMMV / Scary Birthday to You

Go To

  • Ass Pull: At the start of the story, the mad magician Doctor MacDeath shows up at your house while you and your friends are planning your birthday party, and to show that he means business, MacDeath then turns one of your friends, Sarah, into a human-sized balloon poodle, threatening to do the same to you if you refuse to play any of his games. But in one of the twist endings it turns out Doctor MacDeath is actually Sarah's uncle, hired by your parents as an entertainer to surprise you on your birthday, and Sarah just happens to be a really, really good contortionist. What?
    • In one twist ending, Doctor MacDeath is actually a madman who escaped an asylum, kidnapped the clown hired for your birthday, and crashed your party in his stead. The clown called the cops after escaping on his own, who then arrives to arrest Doctor MacDeath, and the story ends right there. The doctor's ability to cast spells and whatnot which you witnessed prior to the story is never addressed and simply handwaved aside.
  • Genius Bonus: One ending mentions that you decide to get into the business of horror-themed birthday parties - and one of your additions is adding raspberry jam so the cake looks like it's bleeding. Which is actually possible.
  • Narm: This is considered to be one of the weaker entries in the series because, well, it's just... weird.
