Compulsion Has Released We Happy Few!

Finally, it’s here. Compulsion Games has released We Happy Few on Steam Early Access, GOG.com Games in Development, and Xbox Game Preview and we can’t wait to play it. Seriously, we can’t wait; we just received our preview code for the game and are raring to stream our first session!

For those that don’t know, We Happy Few is set in a retro-futuristic city called Wellington Wells during an alternative history 1964 England. The people there are forced to take Joy, a happy drug that keeps them docile. They never question their prison. Never get sad. Never get upset…well, that is until they spot someone who hasn’t taken their joy. To which they become violent, beating the culprit to death before going back to “normal”.

Being that the We Happy Few is in the Early Access phase, gamers won’t be able to experience the entire game upon purchase. Key mechanics like social conformity and suspicion (faking happiness in order to avoid unwanted attention), crafting, combat, and survival are available to try out. Some elements, like different characters and their backstories, haven’t been added yet. Over the course of the Early Access, the city will expand and features will be added/improved. We’ll of course give our two cents after spending sometime in Wells!
