Day6 update
It's the final day of the event! I'm sorry for making such a big deal out of it, even though it wasn’t a major GA. But thank you so much for sticking with me through it all!

Oooooh intriguing!
I'm always in for some cool Jigis so I'll be here every day. No expectations beyond jigis and the guessing game for fun.
Also region locks suk!
Happy 🎂

I'm really happy you came!
Please enjoy yourself while you're here. Thank you!
Region locks in Japan are especially bad.
A lot of times, Japanese people can't even buy games on Steam that were released in Japan.
It's slowly getting better, though.
Just recently, a game based on Dragon Ball — which you could definitely call a legendary Japanese anime — finally became available on Steam! 😅

That's really crazy! Region locks are pretty bad in general but Japan region locks are just a whole new level of stupid

Happy 1st Cake Day! :)
Update:
I expected there to be a tricky puzzle in the post, but I guess not. Thanks for going easy on us! Seems like I missed the poll you're talking about since it was two days before one of my exams, but it doesn't matter as I would have chosen the winning option anyway. I'm excited to see what games you have lined up for us! :)

Thank you for coming.
Ah, exams... they can be really tough and stressful, can’t they?
Please don’t overdo it or push yourself too hard.
I’m truly wishing you the best and hoping your exams go really well.
Good luck — you’ve got this!

Time Traveling guy? Cake? Does AI replace us all in the future?
but seriously, Happy Cake Day, been real fun having you around!

Thanks for coming!
There was this amazing person in the past who made puzzles where you had to guess the title of a game based on an AI-generated image.
What I'm doing here is basically inspired by their puzzles.
By the way, this is a portrait I drew of them!

Thank you as well for the gift the other day!
I'm playing it now while comparing it to Sonic Mania!

Thank you for coming!
I feel bad that I haven’t been able to play the game you gave me yet.
I really love that kind of game, but the language barrier has been getting in the way.
I’m definitely planning to play it over the New Year holidays when I have a long break!

It's been a year, Happy Cake Day :)

Hello, my legend.
I’m really happy you came, but at the same time, I feel a little embarrassed—compared to all that you’ve accomplished, my little event feels kind of trivial.
Still, I hope it can be a fun way to pass the time for you, even just a little.
Thank you.

Budget: $50!
Have I lowered your expectations for giveaways yet? Good. Then let’s begin!
Hey there! Hello! Do you know what day it is today? It’s my very first Cake Day!
Too much talking already? Then here you go ⇒ Skip the long story button
This site is full of amazing people, isn’t it?
Yes, the ones that just popped into your mind! (I bet there are lots!)
They host all kinds of fun events and puzzles, and even give away incredibly expensive games.
So I thought I’d try imitating them a bit and bring some games of my own! (Just imitating, so don’t expect anything too fancy, okay?)
The games I’ve picked are based on a recent poll—thank you to everyone who responded!—and they include both bundle games and games I personally like.
There are a total of 12 titles:
3 are games I genuinely recommend,
3 are games I like for no real reason,
and 6 are just bonus filler.
I’ll reveal two games a day, and all giveaways will end at 10:00 PM JST on June 15.
For the level restrictions:
The bonus games are set to Level 1+
The rest are set to Levels 3~5.
No tricky puzzles this time—just some jigidi puzzles that require motivation, time, and a slight risk of wrist pain.
Oh, and I had the AI draw some concept art for each game. (Totally copying that great time-traveler guy.)
But AIs these days are just too good, and the images ended up being pretty obvious. I was hoping for something more chaotic and silly!
Once you see the final image, you’ll probably know which game it is, so feel free to skip it if it doesn’t interest you.
And as for the bonus games… they’re really just your typical games, nothing fancy!
So! Keep your expectations low and enjoy!
About region locks—there shouldn’t be any issues, but if a key doesn’t work, please agree to have it removed. I’m really sorry if that happens.
Oh, and by the way! This entire message was translated using ChatGPT.
So if anything sounds weird or makes no sense, go complain to OpenAI! 😆

Random Excuses and Rambling (You really don’t need to read this)
Personally, there are many more Japanese games I’d love to recommend.
But since I live in Japan, a lot of games I buy here are region-locked.
I thought about gifting through Steam directly, but regional pricing differences felt too risky.
And if someone wins but can’t redeem the gift, that would just be sad. I really didn’t want to cause trouble for the winners.
So I stuck to games available on GMG or Fanatical.
That’s why there shouldn’t be any region lock issues. Enjoy!
