The Epic Games Store for mobile has unveiled its latest free release of the week, and this time, it's the chilling puzzle game, Happy Game, developed by Amanita Design. Despite its cheerful title, Happy Game delves into the dark and twisted world of nightmares, offering a free download that you can keep forever.
In Happy Game, players navigate through a psychedelic nightmare, embodying a young boy who, upon falling asleep, finds himself in a gory, chaotic world. Amanita Design, known for their quirky puzzle games like Chuchel, takes a darker turn with Happy Game, transforming it into a nightmarish experience. You'll tackle three distinct nightmares, solving a series of bizarre and unsettling puzzles, all set against disturbingly sweet backdrops. The eerie soundtrack by the Czech band DVA adds to the game's haunting atmosphere, ensuring it lingers in your mind long after you've played.
I was genuinely surprised to learn that Amanita Design, primarily known for the kid-friendly Chuchel, created Happy Game. If you're curious about its merits, take a look at our review from 2023, where Will awarded it four stars, commending its immersive atmosphere and effective horror elements.
