8. We Happy Few

We Happy Few gameplay video.

In the 1960s dystopian town of Wellington Wells you take on the role of an unnamed protagonist. Almost every citizen of Wellington Wells is under the influence of a drug called Joy. Joy is a drug that keeps the citizens sedated and happy.

You assume the role of a one citizen who is mostly off of Joy. You are part of a group of citizens who called themselves the Downers. Your objective is to survive and escape Wellington Wells.

We Happy Few is played in first person perspective. You wake up as a Downer in a starting shelter. Crafting is an important component in this game, so gather as much as you can.

Your first objective is to enter the city where you will scavenge and find items to help you become successful in escaping Wellington Wells. You will break into houses, loot important items, and fight for your survival against the townspeople who realize that you are not taking your Joy.

Remember to take your Joy!

Another huge aspect of the game is blending in. As you make your way through the town you will be greeted by the villagers. To remain undetected, you must always greet them in return, otherwise they will suspect that you haven’t been taking your joy and will immediately become hostile. Those affected with joy will kill you.

In We Happy Few death is permanent, so blending in and appearing to follow societal norms is essential to your survival. In the event of your death and new game, you will find that it won’t be the same as the last. Items and game scenarios will change, offering up a new challenge which may be easier or more difficult than the last.

We hope to see We Happy Few in June 2016.
