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. Despite its cheerful title, Happy Game delves into a far darker theme, offering a unique experience for those who download and keep it at no cost.

In Happy Game, players navigate a surreal nightmare as a young boy who drifts into sleep and awakens in a macabre world brimming with chaos. Amanita Design, known for their quirky puzzlers like Chuchel, flips the script here, delivering an unsettling journey through nightmare fuel.

The game challenges you to traverse three distinct nightmares, solving an array of eerie and peculiar puzzles. The seemingly sweet environments mask deeply disturbing visuals and sounds, ensuring a truly immersive horror experience. To heighten the atmosphere, the haunting soundtrack by the Czech band DVA is bound to send shivers down your spine.
