- Happy Game debuts as Epic Games' free weekly offering

- Claim this unsettling puzzler permanently at no cost

- Navigate three distinct nightmares to free a child from recurring night terrors

The Epic Games Store's mobile platform has unveiled this week's free title - Happy Game by Amanita Design. Don't let the cheerful name fool you - this experience is anything but pleasant... well, except for scoring a quality game completely free!

Happy Game plunges players into psychedelic horror as they guide a young boy who awakens from sleep into grotesque, chaotic realms. Amanita Design subverts expectations, transforming their signature quirky puzzle style (seen in Chuchel) into pure nightmare material.

Players must conquer three disturbing dreamscapes, solving increasingly bizarre puzzles while cheerful visuals conceal terrifying sights. Even the soundtrack - composed by Czech band DVA - offers no respite with its eerie atmospherics.

Deceptive delights

Happy Game marks a surprising departure for Amanita Design, best known for family-friendly titles like Chuchel. The shift from their typically whimsical style to psychological horror demonstrates remarkable creative range.

Still on the fence? Our 2023 review awarded Happy Game four stars, with Will praising its masterful horror atmosphere and unsettling gameplay.
