We Happy Few is an upcoming narrative driven action adventure game set in a "retrofuturisitc" 1960s England, where a bunch of terrible humans are in a state of "cheerful denial," living out their lives in the city of Wellington Wells. In this alternative 1960s England, conformity is kind of a big deal, to the point that you'll either need to blend in with the heavily medicated masses, or fight them. Unfortunately, if you don't do the former, you are pretty much forced to do the latter, which means if you don't want to be beaten to death, you'll need to follow the citizens not-so-normal rules.
You'll 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. The trailer below shows off what the city will be like, and the atmosphere of the strange place, where everyone needs to "take their joy" or end up in the gulag or worse.
We Happy Few will be available worldwide August 10, 2018 on PS4, Xbox One, and PC for $59.99.
