We Happy Few

Society is held together by the widespread use of a hallucinogenic drug called Joy, which suppresses unhappy memories and enforces a state of artificial bliss.

Those who refuse or fail to take Joy are branded as “Downers” and hunted by the authorities.

The player experiences this dystopia through the perspectives of three different characters, each with their own past, motivations, and narrative arc.

Their shared goal is survival and escape from the oppressive system that demands conformity.

Gameplay blends first-person exploration with stealth, crafting, and survival elements.

Players must manage hunger, thirst, fatigue, and Joy intake, since refusing to conform makes non-player characters more suspicious and hostile.

Movement through the city involves scavenging for supplies, crafting tools and weapons, and engaging in melee combat when avoidance is not possible.

The open environments range from the decaying Garden District to the orderly but watchful city streets, each presenting unique challenges.
