We Happy Few Fun Facts

The game We Happy Few features a unique mechanic called joy, a drug that alters the perception of the game's world, making it appear brighter and happier but at the cost of the player's ability to discern the grim reality around them.

The masks worn by Wellington Wells' citizens in We Happy Few are inspired by the exaggerated facial expressions of English theatrical masks and are used to enforce the game's theme of hiding one's true feelings in a dystopian society obsessed with happiness.

Easy Delivery Co.

Easy Delivery Co. is such a wonderful gem of a game. If you have a retro driving itch, this is a great pick. I was looking for an atmospheric driving game, and this satisfied that itch perfectly. While the graphics are PS1 era, the snow brought me back to the Donkey Kong Country snow/blizzard level - and it was just perfect. Highly recommend checking this one out.
