The Epic Games Store for mobile has just announced 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 your typical joyful experience. It's a free download you can keep, offering a dive into a psychedelic nightmare.
In Happy Game, you step into the shoes of a young boy caught in a terrifying cycle of night terrors. After falling asleep, he awakens in a gory, chaotic world far removed from reality. Amanita Design, known for quirky puzzlers like Chuchel, flips the script here, transforming their signature style into a macabre journey through three distinct nightmares.
As you navigate these unsettling dreams, you'll tackle bizarre and disturbing puzzles amidst environments that juxtapose sweet visuals with horrifying elements. The eerie soundtrack by the Czech band DVA adds another layer of dread, ensuring the chills continue even after you've put down your device.
I was genuinely surprised to learn that Amanita Design, primarily known for the family-friendly Chuchel, created Happy Game. If you're unsure about diving in, consider our 2023 review where Will awarded it a solid four stars, applauding its immersive atmosphere and gripping horror.
Even if Happy Game isn't your cup of tea, there's no shortage of new mobile games to explore. Each week, we compile a list of the top five new mobile games across various genres, from puzzles to action-packed adventures, updated every Thursday. Be sure to check it out for your next gaming fix!
