The Epic Games Store for mobile has announced its latest free release of the week, and it's none other than Happy Game by developer Amanita Design. Don't let the name fool you; this game is far from a cheerful experience, but it's yours to download and keep 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, gore-filled nightmare. Amanita Design, known for their quirky puzzlers like Chuchel, takes a dark turn here, transforming their signature style into a nightmarish journey. As you navigate through three distinct nightmares, you'll encounter a series of bizarre and unsettling puzzles set against deceptively sweet environments that mask horrifying elements. The eerie soundtrack by the Czech band DVA adds another layer of creepiness, ensuring that the game's atmosphere lingers long after you've put it down.

I was genuinely surprised to learn that Amanita Design, the team behind the family-friendly Chuchel, created Happy Game. Their shift to a more mature and dark theme was unexpected but intriguing.
