We happy few.

We Happy Few is the tale of a plucky bunch of moderately terrible people trying to escape from a lifetime of cheerful denial. Set in a drug-fuelled, retrofuturistic city in an alternative 1960s England, you’ll have to blend in with its other inhabitants, who don’t take kindly to people who don’t abide by their not-so-normal rules.

Very interested in this, got a dystopian Bioshock Infinite feel to it. Instantly engrossed. Will be watching this closely.

Certainly looks interesting from the trailer.

Will keep an eye on it

That does look good. If it's anything like Bioshock it could be brilliant.

Sold!

This looks good.

Haggisman · 27 Feb 2015 at 13:19

Nice - Thanks for the heads up

Does look/feel a lot like Bioshock

HazardO · 27 Feb 2015 at 13:29

This could be very interesting!

Superpatsy · 27 Feb 2015 at 13:33

This looks really interesting.

Does anyone have anymore info on it?

Twirlywoos · 27 Feb 2015 at 13:38

Will keep an eye on this, sounds good.

Raumarik · 27 Feb 2015 at 13:39

I'm up for this as long as it's not early access in any way lol

cheesyboy · 13 Mar 2015 at 11:18

Sounds interesting

Kickstarter, really?

People are just abusing it now

'The Prisoner'.. springs to mind.

strumpusplunket · 13 Mar 2015 at 11:37

Interesting. What I can grasp about the gameplay from the preview link and screenshots puts me in mind of Sir, You Are Being Hunted, what with the permadeath, looting and crafting - but with a much more interesting aesthetic and set in a more populated and livelier world.

randal · 13 Mar 2015 at 11:38

Sigh, well at least it's not early access.

How so? It seems to me, they probably got this far and are running out of money. A half made game is a lot better than a lot of the projects that end up on kickstarter.

We Happy Few is currently aiming for a Kickstarter launch in a few weeks time, but the developers Compulsion games will be doing it to get some publicity and bring fans into the game’s development, rather than because they desperately need the money

benjii · 13 Mar 2015 at 13:25

Oh, I see. Publicity is certainly not what kickstarter was created for. However, is this any worse than the standard pre-order crap that EA shove down people's throats? At least this way people feel a little more involved in the game.

Superpatsy · 18 Mar 2015 at 09:22

More footage of this.

VincentHanna · 18 Mar 2015 at 10:26

Looks a bit too much like Bioshock Infinite.

Is it Unreal Engine?

Andy__C · 18 Mar 2015 at 10:55

Dystopian Bioshock vs Don't starve rogallike-ish..... ticks a few boxes.

Cheers for the headsup, will keep an eye on it.
