More On: We Happy Few

I'm sure everyone at one point in time has wondered what the world would be like if everyone was happy.  Well this might be one possibility.  Welcome to We Happy Few, a game set in the dystopian 1960s English city of Wellington Wells where "a group of slightly terrible people are trying to escape a lifetime of cheerful denial".  To escape the city you'll have to blend in with the citizens and take your "Joy", a pill that apparently makes everything and everyone seem cheerful.  You'll also have to try to abide by their not-so-normal rules.

Players who purchase the game at this point can travel around Wellington Wells and check out some key mechanics such as social conformity and suspicion, crafting, combat, and survival.  As the game continues through Early Access, the city will expand and improve and full storylines will be added once the final release is ready for launch.
