In We Happy Few, no two playthroughs are alike. As you hide, conform, or fight back as each of them, you will encounter dark humour, a spot of hope, and even some redemption along the way. They each have a unique storyline in which they interpret and react to the events around them in different ways. Play as three flawed characters who explore their own connections to the events surrounding the rebuilding of Wellington Wells. Come unveil its dark history, and discover how and why its residents came to be so beguilingly happy. Everything appears joyful in Wellington Wells, including its roads, its people, and its omnipresent television personality: Uncle Jack! But, it’s actually a world on the brink of collapse. Set in retrofuturistic 1960s England, you will find a city ravaged by war and rebuilt by delusionally happy people. You’ll have to fight or blend in with the drug-addled inhabitants, most of whom don’t take kindly to people who won’t abide by their not-so-normal rules.ĭiscover 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.

In this alternative 1960s England, conformity is key. We Happy Few is the tale of a plucky bunch of moderately terrible people trying to escape from a lifetime of cheerful denial in the city of Wellington Wells.
