Join me as I dive into the dystopian alternate-history 1960s Britain world of We Happy Few where people pop pills that make the world around them seem all wonderful and happy.
We’re now onto the final night We Happy Few stream which also dabbles into a quick bit of trying out Sally’s story as I wasn’t sure whether or not the game had saved properly. Before starting the game this evening I’d already repeatedly try to get over the part of the game that glitched in the last stream, in the end having to repeat the sequence 5 times. I experience yet more glitches during the final run of the game, which probably would have only taken about half an hour if that hadn’t been the case.
Watch as I finally achieve Arthur’s end goal and discover whether he gets to experience a true moment of happiness.
About We Happy Few
We Happy Few is an action adventure game developed by Compulsion Games and published by Gearbox Publishing. It was first released in 2016 as an early access title for Windows, before seeing a world wide release in 2018 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Windows systems. The game is played in the first person, and combines several different genres of gameplay, with RPG, survival, and roguelike elements all feeding into We Happy Few’s structure.
The game is set in an alternate, dystopian version of 1960s of Britain where events diverged from that of the real world during World War II. Following some unspeakable act that gave the country some degree of autonomy, the people of Wellington Wells began to live on a drug called ‘Joy’, which makes them permanently happy, and forget their most painful memories. Over the course of the game, you can play three story modes as different characters, chronicling their adventures as they cross over into one another’s lives.
