The Story of Fatty Bear's Birthday Surprise

The game begins the night before a girl named Kayla's birthday. She falls asleep, and something magical happens! Her toys and stuffed animals come to life. They want to get everything ready for her big party.

Fatty Bear, a teddy bear, has a very important job. He needs to find ingredients to bake a special birthday cake. But it's not that simple! In the kitchen, he finds a mysterious package. When he looks inside, a small brown puppy jumps out! The puppy quickly runs away, tearing the ribbon on the box. Now, Fatty Bear has three big tasks. He must get the puppy back into its box, bake the cake, and help decorate the house for the party.

Preparing for the Party

Fatty Bear helps a doll named Gretchen get ready. They blow up balloons in Kayla's bedroom. He also finds the letters for a "Happy Birthday" sign. The puppy had run off with these letters earlier.

Baking the Cake

Next, Fatty Bear goes to the kitchen. He uses the ingredients he found to bake the cake. Matilda Rabbit, a stuffed rabbit, helps him with this important task.

The Puppy's Return

After the cake is done, Fatty Bear focuses on the puppy. He finds a bone and a ribbon. He uses these to gently lead the puppy back into her present box. Then, he carefully wraps the box back up.

Kayla's Birthday Morning

Finally, Fatty Bear jumps into Kayla's bed. He quickly turns back into a regular stuffed animal before she wakes up. The next morning, Kayla wakes up and sees her beautifully decorated room. Her dad comes in to wish her a happy birthday. He also brings her surprise. It's the puppy, who rushes into the room and jumps onto her bed! Kayla thanks Fatty Bear for the best birthday ever and gives him a big hug. Fatty Bear winks at the player, and the game ends.
