We Happy Few

We Happy Few is set in a retrofuturistic version of 1960s England, where the inhabitants of Wellington Wells live in a facade of happiness, fueled by a mind-altering drug. As the player, you take on the role of three different characters who are striving to escape this bleak reality while confronting the dark secrets of their society. Initially appearing idyllic, this world soon reveals its underlying horrors and oppression.

The game's narrative revolves around the choice to take or refuse the medication that keeps the citizens blissfully ignorant of their grim existence. The first character you play, Arthur, decides to stop taking the drug, leading to rejection and hostility from the drug-addled residents who strictly adhere to societal conformity.

We Happy Few is more than just a game—it's an immersive narrative experience filled with intriguing stories, rich character development, and atmospheric voice acting. As you navigate through this dystopian setting, you'll find that the journey is as compelling as the challenges you face, making it a thought-provoking exploration of denial and reality.
