The Epic Games Store mobile app has announced this week's complimentary offering: developer Amanita Design's Happy Game. Despite its cheerful title, the experience is anything but happy - except for those claiming their free permanent copy, of course.
Happy Game transports you into a psychedelic nightmare where a young boy awakens from sleep into a gruesome world of chaos. Amanita Design subverts expectations by transforming their signature quirky puzzle style from games like Chuchel into pure nightmare fuel.
You'll confront three separate nightmares filled with bizarre and unsettling puzzles, where seemingly sweet environments conceal truly disturbing visuals and sounds. The haunting soundtrack by Czech band DVA ensures even the audio will keep you on edge.
Happy happy joy joyI was genuinely surprised to discover Amanita Design created Happy Game, having primarily known them for Chuchel - a title that remains relatively family-friendly despite its chaotic presentation.
If you're uncertain whether Happy Game deserves your attention, I recommend reading our 2023 review where Will awarded it four stars, praising its atmospheric horror elements.
Even if Happy Game doesn't appeal to you, there are numerous other recent mobile releases worth exploring. Visit our weekly updated list of top five new mobile games to try, covering everything from puzzles to action, refreshed every Thursday!
