The many encounters of bugs and glitches were enough to make us feel like downers at times. He’s chased into the Garden District.When we first visited Wellington Wells in our initial review of We Happy Few, things did not go as smoothly as we had hoped. He’s the typical, unremarkable English everyman, suddenly turned Downer after being reminded of his lost older brother, Percival Hastings, while at work. Arthur Hastings, protagonist of Act I, is the basic tutorial character that the player spends most of their time as. There are three Acts that all have their own protagonist which the player gets to play as, each of which have a somewhat different play style. There are two modes the player can choose, Story Mode, which explains most of the city’s history and teaches the player how the game works, and Survival/Sandbox Mode, which focuses on the player surviving and escaping Wellington Wells with the knowledge they’ve gathered from Story Mode. Additionally, each item also has its own currency value, the player can sell unwanted items to shopkeepers in exchange for some sovereigns. The player can lighten up their inventory by placing items they don’t currently need in their pneumatic stash, as they’re still usable from the crafting menu (this does not apply to Survival Mode). All items has its own weight that’ll slow the player down once it reaches a certain threshold. The player can also buy these materials from shops or vending machines. Crafting materials are especially useful for crafting weapons, outfits, gadgets, food, health items, drugs, and other chemicals that’ll aid the player on their journey forward.
The player has to gather items and food supplies to survive in the harsh world. The player can also gather books for smaller benefits. With skill points, the player can unlock skills that’ll benefit the player in various different ways, though what skills the player can get is dependent on the playable character. Skill points are earned through completing quests (Story Mode), or by gathering Gilded Pleasure Masks (Survival Mode). There are different social rules in the Garden District and Hamlyn Village that the player learns in Act I, the rules must especially be followed in Act III. NPCs will let the player know what’s making them suspicious, and will quickly get aggressive unless the player conforms. We Happy Few GameplayĪ big part of We Happy Few is NPC interaction and hiding in plain sight. The motorboat requires power in order to be of any use and in order to obtain power for it, the player must find and collect 5 special Boat Capacitors in Wellington Wells. Inside said boathouse, there is a motorboat that will allow the player to escape to the mainland. In order to accomplish this, the player must navigate through the city without dying, eventually making their way to the boathouse located on the final island. In Survival Mode, the player’s objective is to survive and stay alive while working towards escaping Wellington Wells. If the player doesn’t eat food in this mode, they’ll die. The mode is a return of how the game worked during its Alpha/Early Access stages, with a heavier importance on exploration and survival. There’ll be five islands, each of which has two set pieces with either a Boat Capacitor or a Bridge Keycard, with one of the islands also containing the boat safe house that needs the five capacitors to be activated. Regardless of the previous factors, the player has to find five Boat Capacitors and five Bridge Keycards. If permadeath is active, it means that when the player dies, the entire world resets with a new map layout and set pieces. At the beginning, the player chooses which of the three protagonists they want to play as, what the environment should be, and if permadeath is on or off. Survival, and by extension Sandbox Mode, has the player dropped in the middle of nowhere with their only goal being to escape. As you hide, conform, or fight back as each of them, you will encounter dark humour, a spot of hope, and even some redemption along the way. They each have a unique storyline in which they interpret and react to the events around them in different ways. Three Interwoven Narratives Play as three flawed characters who explore their own connections to the events surrounding the rebuilding of Wellington Wells.

Everything appears joyful in Wellington Wells, including its roads, its people, and its omnipresent television personality: Uncle Jack! But, it’s actually a world on the brink of collapse.
