The Epic Games Store for mobile has unveiled its free release of the week, and this time it's the hauntingly titled Happy Game from developer Amanita Design. Despite its cheerful name, Happy Game is far from a joyful experience, offering a dark and twisted journey for those brave enough to download and keep it for free.
In Happy Game, you navigate through a psychedelic nightmare as a young boy who falls asleep and wakes up in a gory, chaotic world. Amanita Design, known for their quirky puzzlers like Chuchel, takes a dark turn with this title, transforming their signature style into pure nightmare fuel. You'll explore three distinct nightmares, solving bizarre and unsettling puzzles amidst seemingly sweet environments that conceal disturbing sights and sounds. The eerie soundtrack by the Czech band DVA only adds to the unsettling atmosphere, ensuring it lingers with you long after you've put the game down.
I was genuinely surprised to learn that Amanita Design, a studio I mainly associated with the kid-friendly Chuchel, created Happy Game. If you're unsure whether this title is worth your time, I recommend checking out our 2023 review where Will awarded it a solid four stars, praising its immersive atmosphere and chilling horror.
