Epic Games offers Happy Game for free this week

The Epic Games Store for mobile has unveiled its free release of the week, and this time it's the chilling Happy Game from developer Amanita Design. Don't let the name fool you; this isn't a joyful journey, but an opportunity for you to download and keep this eerie puzzler at no cost.

In Happy Game, you step into the shoes of a young boy who drifts into sleep only to awaken in a surreal, nightmarish world brimming with chaos. Amanita Design, known for their quirky puzzles like Chuchel, flips the script to deliver an experience that's pure nightmare fuel. As you navigate through three distinct nightmares, you'll tackle a series of bizarre and unsettling puzzles, set against deceptively sweet environments that conceal truly disturbing elements. And if you think you can escape the horror through silence, think again—the haunting soundtrack by the Czech band DVA is bound to haunt your nights.

I was genuinely surprised to discover that Amanita Design, the team behind the kid-friendly Chuchel, created Happy Game. This game takes a dark turn from their usual style, embracing a more mature and terrifying theme.

If you're unsure whether Happy Game is worth your time, consider our 2023 review where Will awarded it a solid four stars, lauding its immersive atmosphere and chilling horror elements.
