Canadian developer Compulsion Games made a name for itself with a 3D platformer called Contrast, which arrived on Xbox One last year. Compulsion's sophomore effort We Happy Few takes place in a darker, more sinister setting. In a twisted alternative history version of 1960s England, everyone is required to be happy at all times. Fail to follow the rules or take your mandatory Joy medication, and your fellow "Wellies" will feel compelled to kill you. You'll have to learn to hide in plain sight as you seek a way out of the manic and dangerous world of Wellington Wells.
We Happy Few is officially in development for Windows PC, but it has a great chance of arriving on Xbox One via Microsoft's ID@Xbox program as well. The game's Kickstarter campaign just reached full funding, with a few days left for backers to help with stretch goals. We've spent some time with the pre-alpha version of this gorgeous first-person adventure. Read our impressions to get an idea of the dystopian society that Compulsion is building in We Happy Few!
