We Happy Few

New game announced, it looks so bizarre and stylish. I can't wait for it!


Indie developers Compulsion have announced their next title will be We Happy Few, a game set in a "retrofuturistic" version of of 1960s England in which the populace of Wellington Wells lives in a state of enforced jollity through the use of psychotropic drugs and creepy smile masks. Compulsions's previous title, 2013's Contrast, which made the leap to the One after a successful run on the 360, featured unique gameplay mechanics and an engaging story. It looks like they're hoping to replicate that success in We Happy Few as players are tasked with blending in with the "happy" people who don't respond well to rule breakers.

Contrast was a neat enough game, if a little shonky, but at least it had ideas and a nice story, so yes, more from these guys is always appreciated!

Looks intriguing! I liked Contrast overall, the concept was pretty cool despite some glitches and a story that was way too short imo. Definitely be looking to seeing more of this in the future.
