This game is a 2-minute joke game designed as a "Birthday Surprise" for your friends or stream viewers!

💬 2-Week Dev Challenge!

This is my 4th game, created to mark the 2-week anniversary since I first started learning game development! I moved from Godot to Unreal Engine 5 for this project to challenge myself with 3D horror visuals. 

📌 How to play this prank (Recommended)

1. Tell your birthday friend, "I found a short horror game that takes only 2 minutes, try playing it while sharing your screen!" and send them this game.

2. Let them walk down the dark corridor until the zombie catches them...

3. Right after the ultimate jumpscare, the red text "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!" will pop up on the screen!

🎮 Game Overview

- Playtime: Approx. 2 minutes

- Controls:

  WASD : Move

  Mouse : Look around

   Esc Key : Quit Game (Once the birthday screen appears, you can quickly close the game with the Esc key!)

 Ending: 1 (The game ends on the celebration screen)

⚠️ Please Note

- Features like returning to the title screen after game over were NOT implemented because "UE5 specifications were too annoying!" (Hey, give me a break, it's only my second week!) Once the celebration screen appears, please say "Happy Birthday!" and let them close the game using the Esc key.

- Please be careful when pranking friends who have a weak heart.
