We Happy Few Out Now on Xbox One Game Preview
Delve into the happiness-obsessed world of Wellington Wells. We Happy Few is available now on three different early access programs; Steam Early Access, GOG.com Games in Development, and Xbox Game Preview.
Set in a 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.
Torn right out of the pages of Aldous Huxley’s ‘Brave New World’ where Joy is replaced with Soma, it’s pretty clear to see where We Happy Few gets its inspiration from. When we previewed the game’s Alpha we walked away very hopeful for what was to come and it looks as if Compulsion is preparing to deliver.
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 in on the final release of the game.
Keep it locked to COGconnected as we play through the Early Access version of the game and all the updates leading to release.
