![]() Others are much larger - I’m still in the process of trying to gather the right parts to repair what seems to be a bridge out of town. Some of these are small, like finding pills to help a man who can’t stop vomiting, or taking the risk to open a locked box that is clearly a trap. (Developer Compulsion Games says that the city “will continue to expand as development progresses.”) And while the current version of the game doesn’t have a proper narrative in place, you’ll still have a number of missions and quests to take on if you want. Wellington Wells is a procedurally generated town - that is, it’s different each time you play - and at present it’s mostly filled with grumpy townsfolk who like to swear and ask for things, but will generally leave you alone if you don’t bother them. You can also just sit down on a bench and read the paper if you really want to. It’s a grim place that forces you to do whatever is necessary to survive, whether that’s eating rotten food or robbing a stranger in hopes of finding what you need. And they probably will, because in order to get all of the things you need - food, medicine, scraps you can cobble into weapons - you’ll need to do a lot of scrounging and stealing. You also have health, of course, which goes down if the other residents of Wellington Wells attack you. If you get sick, you can either wait for some time to pass - resulting in the hallucinogenic experience I had - or take a pill to sort yourself out. You need to eat food and drink water, as well as find places to sleep when you’re tired. Like most survival games, We Happy Few forces you to keep track of a myriad of factors in order to keep yourself alive. You start out in a safe house that has a few supplies - some bandages, bits of metal that can be turned into a lock pick - but from there you’re on your own. Once you finish that sequence you’re thrust into Wellington Wells without much in the way of guidance. Instead, the focus is on the survival portion of the experience. You won’t be gaining many new insights into the world or how it got that way. The version of We Happy Few that’s out today - which is unfinished, but will be continually updated until the full release next year - lets you play through that same sequence featured in the trailer, but doesn’t go beyond that story-wise. Eventually he realizes that those drugs he’s been taking - called “joy” - are some kind of hallucinogen, that hide a dark, oppressive world under layers of cheer and charm. You may remember the game from the excellent trailer at E3 in June, which showed a character who spends his days combing through old newspapers in order to redact unhappy stories that might upset the general population. Think quaint 1960s English village meets a Fallout-inspired urban decay ruined homes sit nicely alongside colorful gardens. We Happy Few is a survival game set in a retrofuturistic, alternate reality English town called Wellington Wells, a place that’s cute and dystopic in equal parts. Take the right pill and everything is better. I wasn’t hungry anymore, but I now had food poisoning - but like in much of We Happy Few, the solution was drugs. It also happened to be rotten, and eating it caused the game’s world to warp in a disturbing, nauseating fashion. My character needed food, and it was the only option I had. 07:30pm - Well, well, well - That tastes amazing - Famous britons (sometimes Humour Hour).ġ I hear you - My husband sleeps in a small bed.ĥ News Hour - Do what you should be doing.ġ1 That tastes amazing what is it? - Bread Extenders.ġ4 Nighty Night - Red riding hood part 1.ġ5 Nighty Night - Red riding hood part 2.Ģ4 News Hour - Going out at night isnt bright.Ģ6 News Hour - Random things the face said.Ģ9 Nighty Night - Hansel and gretel part 1.ģ0 Nighty Night - Hansel and gretel part 2.ģ3 That tastes amazing, what is it - Edible weeds.ģ4 That tastes amazing, what is it - Lichens.One of the first things I did in We Happy Few - which launches today as an early access game on Xbox One, Steam, and GOG - was eat an apple. 04:00pm - I hear you - Humor Hour - Play with Jack - Funny old Customs.
