Joy induces amnesia, both retrograde and anterograde. The primary purpose of Joy is to elicit happiness and pleasure by chemical means while repressing bad memories in the process. It can be assumed that these forms use the Strawberry flavour, due to its colour being pink. All water sources and foodstuffs in Hamlyn Village are laced with liquid Joy while Jubilators and aerosol spray machines disperse gaseous Joy all over the city. In addition to the pill form, Joy is also available in both liquid and gaseous form. Chocolate is dark brown, Strawberry is pinkish red, Blackberry is purple, and Coconut is half white and dark brown. Vanilla is white, sometimes depicted to be very light yellow. One side has a lighter colour, while the other side has a darker colour. Each capsule is color-coded depending on its 'flavour'. Joy is generally consumed in the form of a pill, with the shape of an edible capsule. Though they all believe they're simply subduing the Downer, they're actually killing them.Īny Downer who survives from getting turned into mincemeat get chased out into the Garden District to live among the Wastrels people who can't take Joy at all. It has become standard in Wellington Wells.ĭowners who are found to not be on their Joy are immediately targeted, both by the locals, and the authorities. It goes against social acceptability, as well as the law, for citizens to be off their Joy. Proper folk who take their Joy are called Wellies, and anyone who refuses to take their Joy are called Downers. They'll also be able to pass through Joy Detectors without any trouble. In the happy state, the user will experience the world to be a lot more vivid and colourful, with a double rainbow in the sky, blooming trees, among other pleasant things. The lighthearted tunes especially provide a beautiful juxtaposition between the childlike imagination and the horrifying display surrounding you.Joy, as a psychoactive drug, induces happiness and euphoria, while also dampening the users' memories. The melodies range from upbeat and whimsical to dark and foreboding. ![]() ![]() However, the soundtrack is what shines brightest though. The sound effects are well done, with there being some truly visceral sounding gore effects as heads get snapped off and creatures ripped apart. Once again, there’s no real dialogue, but like in Chuchel, there are some cute nonsensical mutterings. The sound design in Happy Game is wonderful. What can I say? I’m a sucker for all things ghastly and grisly. And yes, I am aware that I’m calling a game featuring decapitated bunnies and hideous monsters gorgeous. The result are a few images that have a noticeably lower resolution that distracts from a normally gorgeous game. My only issue is that occasionally the images looked a bit too stretched, like they decided to take a small image and expand it to fill the screen. I absolutely loved it! Somehow Amanita Design was able to make a game that was simultaneously disturbing, grotesque, and adorable. This is the cutest circle of Hell I’ve ever seen.Īs I mentioned above, the art design of Happy Game is very much the same as Chuchel, only given a gruesome makeover. Because of this, Happy Game kept me much more engaged than Chuchel. Yes, there are still plenty of sections that will have you simply clicking on something obvious in order to progress, but there were actually a few places that had me stumped for a moment. While Happy Game still won’t require you to be a genius to solve its puzzles, the difficulty has definitely been increased for the most part. My biggest complaint with Chuchel was its lack of any sort of challenge. The entire thing is presented without an extensive narrative or any real dialogue, which reminded me of Limbo or DARQ, especially due to the macabre nature of the game. Where in Chuchel you were a fuzzy little monster chasing after a cherry that was constantly being snatched away from you, in Happy Game you’re a boy chasing after his ball. You’ll move the protagonist through numerous challenges and obstacles that are presented in different sections like chapters. Just like Chuchel, Happy Game is a point-and-click adventure that’s best described as an interactive animation. ![]()
