The Epic Games Store for mobile has unveiled its latest free release of the week, and this time it's the chilling "Happy Game" from developer Amanita Design. Don't let the name fool you; this is far from a joyful experience, but it's an opportunity you won't want to miss, as you can download and keep it for free.
In "Happy Game," you embark on a journey through a psychedelic nightmare as a young boy who falls asleep and awakens in a gory world of chaos. Amanita Design, known for their whimsical puzzlers like Chuchel, takes a dark turn with this game, transforming their signature style into pure nightmare fuel.
You'll navigate through three distinct nightmares, tackling a series of bizarre and unsettling puzzles. The game's saccharine settings belie the truly disturbing sights and sounds lurking within. And if you think the sound might offer some respite, think again—the eerie soundtrack by the Czech band DVA is sure to haunt your nights.
Happy happy joy joyI was genuinely taken aback to discover that Amanita Design, a studio I primarily associated with the family-friendly Chuchel, had created "Happy Game." Despite Chuchel's manic design, it's relatively kid-friendly compared to the dark themes of "Happy Game."
