<\/div>\n

In We Happy Few<\/a><\/em>, you\u2019ll play the tale of a plucky bunch of moderately terrible people trying to escape from a lifetime of cheerful denial in the city of Wellington Wells. In this alternative 1960s England, conformity is key. You\u2019ll have to fight or blend in with the drug-addled inhabitants, most of whom don\u2019t take kindly to people who won\u2019t abide by their not-so-normal rules.<\/p>\n

When discovering the retrofuturistic city\u2019s dark history, you\u2019ll play through the intertwined narratives of three quietly rebellious citizens of Wellington Wells. Each with their own strengths and weaknesses, you\u2019ll discover their pasts, prepare for their future, and engage in activities that aren\u2019t exactly status quo in the artificially-enthused society.<\/p>\n

We Happy Few<\/em> is just weeks from launch and it\u2019s time to learn more about the games second playable character, Sally Boyle.<\/p>\n

\"We<\/p>\n

Wellington Wells\u2019 fabulous \u201cIt Girl,\u201d Sally, is sparkling and witty, and wears the grooviest fashions better than any Wellette in the Village.<\/p>\n

A brilliant chemist, she keeps the rich and powerful supplied with powerful concoctions that no mere pharmacist can make.<\/p>\n

\u201cEarly on, we knew we wanted Sally Boyle to be both a clever chemist and glamorous, fashionable socialite,\u201d says Whitney Clayton, Art Director for We Happy Few<\/em>.\u00a0\u201cHer dress is the epitome of mod. To give her a look that was both iconic and distinct, we designed her to be both classy and slightly futuristic. Her dress is made of simple, graphic shapes, and a mix of modern (for the time) materials like white felt and black vinyl. Her short hair and pixie features reference fashion icons from the 60s like Twiggy and Edie Sedgwick.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"We<\/p>\n

But Sally\u2019s fabulousness is a front. She\u2019s a survivor, wounded by her past, and she has secrets that would get her killed if they ever got out.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, she has other drugs that she can use, affording her the means to escape detection, evade capture, and take down even the toughest of enemies.<\/p>\n

As you reveal Sally\u2019s story and dangerous secrets, you\u2019ll interact with the other two playable characters, Arthur and Ollie, who each have their own secrets, motivations, and special skills in the story of We Happy Few<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou might see the same scene from several different perspectives\u201d adds Alex Epstein, the Narrative Director at Compulsion Games. \u201cThe dialog might change. The location might change, depending on who\u2019s remembering. But the second version isn\u2019t necessarily the truth just because it comes second.\u201d<\/p>\n

We Happy Few<\/em> is coming to the Xbox One family of devices and enhanced for Xbox One X on August 10, 2018. Pre-order now on the Microsoft Store and get $9 off plus the exclusive Jolly Brolly weapon at launch!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
