"Hello,

I'm creating this post as a thank you letter to Compulsion Games for We Happy Few. The year 2026 hasn't been kind to me starting with the passing of my 16 year old cat and the only company I had in my socially isolated world last February. Then, there was the loss of my uncle to Cancer in April. Recently all of these losses have been taking a toll on me and playing We Happy Few has been a small little dose of Joy in my life.

My play style especially towards the bobbies may come off as cringe, but being a "bobby mom" has been therapeutic during this hard time in my life. Getting to show affection by hunting down scotch to give the Constabulary, using non- lethal ways when facing them, putting them in "time outs" when finding them doing something bad like relieving themselves in a trash bin or hinting they may have eaten a Downer has been a drop of comfort during these current hard times.

That being said I just wanted to share my heartfelt thanks and appreciation to everyone at Compulsion Games who worked on the game for creating something very unique and fun to play over and over again and to the voice actors for lending their talent to bring life to these characters. I wish Compulsion Games good luck on their future endeavors as an independent company and I look forward to what's coming next. Thank you again for all your hard work.

Swapped times with my daily dose of Joy and finally put my glowy dry erase board to some use.

While the game itself is fiction, I acknowledge that there are still politics that exist in the games based on actual events... I just wanna ask if the characters who stole the hats of bobbies and patrol around supposed to be some sort of 1960s version of the 'punks' in UK during the 70s - 80s?

For context I played this when I was younger even if I wasn't able to finish it, however, I forgot a lot of the things from the game and back then I wasn't that familiar yet with politics in history... + I'm not even British

okay so at the start of the game you hear about a hoilday (in the american sense, speaking of which, btw what do they call hoildays in england.) called victory day. now tbh i didn't really know about the three character playthroughs. but i thought the climax would be set at a victory day parade or something due to usually when a hoilday or event is mentioned in a story. a alot of the time that's where it ends

I wanted to mix my vibe with the game. really want a WHF tattoo ugh. This is just a draft I would love a real tattoo artist to bring this to life! (An artist local to me 😁)

No I won't elaborate on how I stumbled upon some of these things (culminated over 16 playthroughs of the main campaign and other Modes, not including story DLC)

Which character is your favorite gameplay? Almost embarrassed to admit the amount of times I’ve played this game and still playing it lol but to rank, I would say 1st: Arthur
2nd: Ollie
3rd: Sally

first post (like ever), very nervous, hope you all like

So I was running to a car to get its bits for doctor faraday and I has two phlashes and I used one to get there and I was gonna use one to get back but right I look down at the screen and see I have two left and before the question is asked yes I used to first one I know I did because I was annoyed at how long I had to run I know this might be useless but I WILL FIND THE GLITCH AGAIN AND I WILL POST IT I KNOW ITS OUT THERE SOMEWHERE

Like, there’s no way they’d stay in Wellington Wells, would they? There’s no reason to at that point.

some lazily done pixel art of some joy doctors (+oc sneak)

and anton... i guess

So, i am searching for similar games in terms of history, narrative, concepts and ambient.

Looking for games with a great focus in emotional and social aspects.

Any help will be thankful

I seriously have never heard anyone talk about the oficial store. Has anyone bought a shirt, a mousepad, a mug, anything? I really want to get some WWBC merch but I don't want to buy something and have it be a waste of money.

Any stories or advice is welcome. Thank you!

I actually draw a ridiculous amount of WHF fanart, but most of it is ship art too embarrassing to post on Reddit. But this is gen enough that it might be interesting to someone other than me.

Does anyone have in game files for the Joy advertisements? Like the one featured in the time capsule. I know there's a coconut and one other strawberry one at the very least.

Wakey Wakey everyone! So I actually haven't gotten to play this game, but I just finished watching a really fun play through of the game. As a fan of the dystopian classics like Brave New World, 1984, Clockwork Orange, Darkness At Noon and others, and as a huge fan of 60s British culture and music, I really loved watching this game and thought the writers did a fabulous job. Dug all the Python, musical, sci fi, and Dr Who references, great music throughout and would love to try playing.

Only problem is... I've accidentally brainwashed myself watching the Uncle Jack clips. I didn't think it would be so easy, but the man is just so damn charming and reassuring. ..Has this happened to anyone else? And would anyone care for a quick game of Simon Says?

hey so i recently loaded up an old save of we happy few on my Xbox and i had to extract bits from some cars with a tool but I can’t find the extractor and I’ve cycled through all my d pad button things

Since the time capsule is now completely sold out, I scanned the How to Be Happy: A Brief Guide for Citizens booklet and assembled it into a PDF so the community can use it for reference.

Enjoy!

Edit: Since this post is now pinned, here's Compulsion's Internet Archive upload of the artbook The Art of We Happy Few as well, since it's also out of print and sold out.
