We Happy Few is the tale of a plucky bunch of slightly terrible people trying to escape from a lifetime of cheerful delusion. Set in a drug fueled, retrofuturistic city in an alternative history 1964 England, the player will have to blend in with its other citizens, who don’t take kindly to people who don’t abide by their not so normal rules.

Setting

The game takes place in Wellington Wells, a city located in the southwest of England in 1964. In 1933, this world deviated from our own, and the Germans successfully invaded and occupied
England during World War 2. Most of England is rubble, as is a fair part of Wellington Wells.
However, during the Occupation, the Wellies all had to do A Very Bad Thing. To calm their anguish and guilt ­ and forget what they’d done ­ the Wellies invented Joy, the miracle happiness drug.

Narrative

In We Happy Few, you play as a Downer ­ someone off their happy pills. We have three Downers, and each one has a story to play through. Their stories all interweave, so by playing
one character, the others can be unlocked.
All three characters are haunted by terrible things they’ve done in the past, and they each have something they urgently need to accomplish.

Gameplay

The main minute ­to ­minute need is to avoid suspicion by blending with the Wellies and Wastrels, while looking for a way to escape the city. The player will have to fend for himself by
scavenging and crafting key items from areas with different social expectations. In consequential situations, he might also have to fight, run, or hide from the Wellies.

The game was designed for permadeath for more hardcore players, but is more accessible on easier difficulties.
