A Shooter game by Compulsion Games, released in 2018

63/100🔴Niche / Inactive🥇Proton GoldPlayStation 4LinuxPC (Microsoft Windows)

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.
