Epic Games Offers Happy Game for Free This Week

The Epic Games Store for mobile has just announced its free release of the week, and this time it's the intriguing "Happy Game" from developer Amanita Design. Despite its cheerful title, "Happy Game" plunges players into a far-from-happy psychedelic nightmare. You play as a young boy who, after falling asleep, finds himself navigating a gory, chaotic world. This game marks a stark departure from Amanita's usual whimsical puzzlers like Chuchel, transforming their signature style into a chilling horror experience.

In "Happy Game," you'll tackle three distinct nightmares, solving a series of bizarre and unsettling puzzles. The game's environments are deceptively sweet, masking the deeply disturbing elements hidden within. To add to the eerie atmosphere, the soundtrack by the Czech band DVA ensures that the horror lingers long after you've put down your device.

Happy happy joy joyI was genuinely surprised to learn that Amanita Design, known to me mainly through their family-friendly game Chuchel, had created "Happy Game." This title ventures into much darker territory.
