IMPORTANT NOTE
This stream had some weird technical difficulties that caused it to drop framerate very badly amongst other thing, but most noticeably it suddenly cuts out at the end without the explanation as to why I ended it, which was purely because at the end of the stream it was somehow slowing down and the upload kept on freezing to Twitch.
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 a shortened night 6 of the We Happy Few stream because I suffered a lot of technical issues this time around: frame rate drops constantly throughout, and then incredible lag towards the end. I finally get to progress a bit further with the story, and handed in some side quests I’d picked up along the way, but it was all over quickly as I made the decision to shut down the stream. What will I do next? Watch me as I try to manage all my stats, inventory, and stealth mechanics to try and make it out alive!
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.
