We Happy Few looks like it's shaping up to be an amazing and innovative game, and now it's fully funded on Kickstarter, with over 5,800 backers contributing to the goal of $250,000 CAD ($201,353 USD)! There are a few days left to reach the awesome stretch goals, too. Head on over to the Kickstarter page. And check out the Uncle Jack show episode below.
The campaign ends on July 4th, so you're going to have to hurry – and if you pledge over $60 CAD (like, $48 USD), you can gain access to the pre-alpha when the campaign ends. The stretch goals look pretty cool, too: Sandbox Mode, Authentic English Weather, and more.
To recap, here's the official description:
We Happy Few is the tale of a plucky bunch of slightly terrible people trying to escape from a lifetime of cheerful delusion. Set in a drug-fuelled, retro-futuristic city in an alternative history 1964 England, you'll have to blend in with its other citizens, who don't take kindly to people who don't abide by their not-so-normal rules.
Main Features:
- A procedurally generated world: Each time you die or beat the game, your next adventure through Wellington Wells will be different. Forget about relying on the city's layout to escape!
- A sophisticated suspicion system: The inhabitants of Wellington Wells expect you to behave in very specific ways—if they suspect you're not taking your Joy, they'll quickly identify you as a Downer.
- Frenzied combat: Downers aren't very popular in Wellington Wells. In fact, Wellies tend to get a bit violent whenever one walks by.
- Twisted survival mechanics: In this urban setting, avoiding the Wellies' fury often means hiding in plain sight.
- An elaborate crafting system: Salvage supplies and Joy-tainted food to stay alive, but be careful not to overdose!
