We Happy Few : Gameplay Walkthrough
We Happy Few is an upcoming indie survival horror video game developed by Compulsion Games and published by Gearbox Publishing for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. The game takes place in the mid 1960's in the fictional English city of Wellington Wells, a dystopian, retrofuturistic-fashioned drug-fuelled society formed following an alternative timeline of events within World War II, which is on the verge of collapse.
The residents of the city, seeking to forget the war, began taking a hallucinogenic drug known as "Joy" which does that, but also leaves them constantly happy, easily controlled and lacking morals. Players control one of three characters, who becomes dubbed a "Downer" after choosing to stop using the drug, and must try to survive long enough to complete something important and personal to themselves, all while trying to escape the city before the impending social collapse.
Played from a first-person perspective, the game combines role-playing, survival, and light roguelike elements, with the developers focusing on creating a story with strong narratives, gameplay underlined by a sense of paranoia, and decisions having moral gray areas and weight that influence and affect later parts of the game. Compulsion Games were influenced by similar media depicting dystopian societies, such as Brazil, Nineteen Eighty-Four, and Brave New World. Plans for the game's creation were announced through a Kickstarter funding campaign in June 2015, and was later announced to be supported by Microsoft Studios as part of their Xbox One platform. The game was released as early access title in July 2016, and will be fully released in April 2018.
