Gameplay
We Happy Few’s gameplay is a lot less about combat than you might at first think. You wouldn’t be judged for mistakenly assuming that in a world full of psychotics you’d be having to fend them off with whatever you could lay your hands on. Instead, We Happy Few’s gameplay focuses more on survival and therefore, combat is a last resort in Wellington Wells.
You’ll be required to attend to your basic needs of hunger, thirst, and sleep, all the while ensuring that your actions and words don’t attract attention from the locals. Collecting recipes, scavenging items, and crafting weapons will all become imperative to your success, meaning a dash for the finish line won’t always suffice. Of course, there will be the occasional time where you will have to take down a couple of the dosed-up locals to allow you to continue on your quest, though always trying to beat your way to freedom isn’t going to have the desired effects
You’ll spend a lot of your time simply trying to blend in with the Joyed-up citizens as you wander around (for the most part) completely sober looking for the means to get out of this deceptively happy hell. Conformity, stealth, and combat are key if you want to escape.
