We Happy Few Preview

There is nothing shockingly new about the formula for this title; like most ‘survival’ games, you escape something, must get somewhere, and perhaps help out people along the way. You need to make sure you eat, sleep, drink, and well…don’t get sick. Or captured.

It’s the storyline and environments that are most impressive to myself. The entire city you live in is controlled by a bill called Joy. By taking Joy, everything you see is happy and good. When off your Joy, the realities of life quickly set in, and you become labeled as wanted. The beginning is odd, and if you don’t want to know the early premise, stop reading now.

You work as a censor for the local newspaper company. You are going back in time, looking over old newspaper articles, keeping the good positive ones to remain in the archives, and rejecting anything negative. The higher powers have decided: everything, both past and present, must be positive, and full of Joy.
