In "We Happy Few" players are put into the shoes of three different protagonist. The protagonists lives in a world where happiness is mandatory. People take drugs to stay happy, and if they refuse, they are chased down by the police and killed. The protagonists – tired of this way of living – decides to stop taking their medication. The game is composed of the player, trying to act as normal and happy as possible as they try to find a way out of their crazy world. Stealth and survival play an important role in "We Happy Few."
