We Early Few

I have this Compulsion. It drives me to Early Access games that bring me Joy. Though I find myself, often, pulling away as the true horror of the situation asserts itself. When everything is just…not quite right. Take 1960s England for example. A land slightly before my time, yet familiar enough that I should feel right at home. But when we arrive in Wellington…

Everywhere you look there are smiling faces, filled with Joy. But there is something out of place here. Something barely contained beneath the beatific veneer. Something that I just cannot quite put my finger on. Perhaps, should you be so inclined as to peruse the details We Happy Few have gathered here, contained within, the truth shall be revealed to you. For this is the time, when We Happy Few have come out to meet the world.

Gods help us all.


Official Press Release

Montreal, Canada – July 26, 2016/ Delve into the happiness-obsessed world of Wellington Wells: We Happy Few is available now on Steam Early Access, GOG.com Games in Development, and Xbox Game Preview.

Set in an dystopian 1960s English city, We Happy Few is the tale of a group of slightly terrible people trying to escape from a lifetime of cheerful denial. To find your way out of Wellington Wells and reconstruct the past, you’ll have to blend in with its citizens, who don’t take kindly to those who don’t abide by their not-so-normal rules.

Early purchasers of We Happy Few will be able to stroll through Wellington Wells, experiencing key mechanics like social conformity and suspicion, Joy intake, crafting, combat, and survival. Over the course of the Early Access, the city will expand and features will be improved, and the playable characters’ full storylines will be added on the final release of the game.
