Why We Happy Few?

Hi, M³ here! So for this first week, you're all getting treated with a full weekend of finished art. As I said in the first post, this is for PAX East 2016 to help promote Compulsion Games's We Happy Few.

Most of you are probably asking, "What the heck is We Happy Few?"

We Happy Few is an upcoming survival game set in an alternate dystopian '60's UK. After the horrific events of WWII, the people of Wellington Wells have chosen to put their misery behind them by rebuilding their town and taking Joy, a drug that makes you feel happy. Anyone who doesn't take Joy is called a "Downer" and is killed immediately. You play as one of three unlockable Downers, and you must blend in with society while finding a way out of the town.

I'm doing promotional fan art for We Happy Few because I love all the work that Compulsion Games has put into developing the world, lore, and story of Wellington Wells. It is the kind of dystopian setting that is definitely bleak, but is also intriguing, making the player wonder just what happened to make the town as messed up as it is. The teases for narrative and the Downers' backstories are certainly one of the biggest hooks of the game. The developers have also put a lot of work into making the game look amazing. Every new patch made on the pre-alpha version continues to get me excited to see what the finished game will look like.

It is because of the labor and love put into this game that I'm doing promotional fan art for We Happy Few. And I can't wait for the game to come out this year!

If you're interested in the game, check out Compulsion Games's website or Kickstarter page! Gamers, put this on your Steam wish list!

So without further ado, let's kick off this first week with some We Happy Few fan art!
