The Epic Games Store for mobile has unveiled its latest free game of the week, and this time it's the hauntingly intriguing Happy Game from developer Amanita Design. Don't let the name fool you; this game delves into the darker side of dreams. Available to download and keep for free, Happy Game invites players into a surreal nightmare where a young boy must navigate through a world of chaos and gore after falling asleep.
Amanita Design, known for their quirky and whimsical puzzlers like Chuchel, takes a dramatic turn with Happy Game, transforming their signature style into a chilling experience. Players will tackle three distinct nightmares, solving a series of bizarre and unsettling puzzles. The game's deceptively sweet environments mask the horror that lies beneath, accompanied by a haunting soundtrack from the Czech band DVA that promises to keep players on edge.
I was genuinely taken aback to discover that Amanita Design, a studio I associated with the family-friendly antics of Chuchel, had crafted Happy Game. If you're on the fence about whether this game is worth your time, I recommend checking out our 2023 review. Our reviewer, Will, awarded it four stars, lauding its immersive atmosphere and effective horror elements.
