A Birthday Surprise

Today started out like any other for Tama, until she made a surprising discovery… It's her girlfriend Paisley’s birthday! Paisley’s never mentioned it before, but Tama’s determined to surprise HER with an amazing gift. Just one problem… She has no idea what to get her!

With limited time and Magical Girl duties getting in the way, what’s a girlfriend to do? Help Tama find something that’ll really knock Paisley’s socks off, all while watching your time, money, and safety of the city! Better make it count, because you only get one chance to make this a special birthday! Right?

A Birthday Surprise is a short yuri slice-of-life magical girl story. It's meant to be played multiple times. If things seem to go awry, keep pressing on. You never know what might happen in Basin Lake City…

(NOTE: Construct games seem to have an issue with the music when played in the Itch Client. It's recommended to play this game in a browser.)
