We Happy Few

The game is played from a first-person perspective. We have to explore the streets of the town, collecting and using various objects. Some of them will allow us to restore health (e.g. bandages) or break into houses (crowbars), while various types of weapons will help us fight our opponents. All the time we must act in accordance with the applicable rules of the local society, as unnatural behaviour can result is arousing someone’s suspicions and may end in our demise. The danger may be looming behind every corner, with many rooms being rigged with a variety of traps (such as smoke or poison bombs) and alarms. Every object that we use used in the wrong way may be a hazard. Even eating food saturated with the happiness drug in large quantities can lead to overdose and death.

The game world is procedurally generated, thanks to which we’ll never find ourselves in the same town when playing again. The reality created by the Compulsion Games is exaggerated in a specific manner, although the idea behind the story itself is rather serious and draws inspiration from works by George Orwell and Aldous Huxley, as well as games such as BioShock. The graphic design is inspired by the studio's début production – Contrast – and the abovementioned BioShock.
