A dystopia of your own
The citizens of Wellington Wells will ensure that you’ve taken your Joy, but the procedurally generated world will ensure that your experience with We Happy Few is different and unique. Wellington Wells is never quite like you remember it.
Take your Joy…or don’t
Customise your experience. Choose from a range of difficulties for new and experienced players alike. Masochistic? Try permadeath! Fight with the crazy weapons you can craft, or fight with your bare hands and don’t kill anyone!
Game details
We Happy Few is the tale of a plucky bunch of moderately terrible people trying to escape from a lifetime of cheerful denial in the city of Wellington Wells. In this alternative 1960s England, conformity is key. You’ll have to fight or blend in with the drug-addled inhabitants, most of whom don’t take kindly to people who won’t abide by their not-so-normal rules.
Discover the retrofuturistic city’s dark history as you play through the intertwined narratives of three quietly rebellious citizens of Wellington Wells, each with their own strengths and weaknesses, as they face their pasts, prepare for the future, and engage in activities that aren’t exactly status quo in the artificially enthused society.
