"Happy Game: Epic Games' Free Weekly Release"

by Finn May 27,2025

The Epic Games Store for mobile has unveiled its free release of the week, and this time, it's the chillingly titled Happy Game from developer Amanita Design. Despite its misleading name, this isn't a joyous experience; it's a free download for those brave enough to delve into its depths.

In Happy Game, you step into the shoes of a young boy who falls asleep only to awaken in a nightmarish, psychedelic world brimming with gore and chaos. Amanita Design, known for quirky puzzlers like Chuchel, flips the script here, transforming their typical whimsical style into a harrowing journey through three distinct nightmares. As you navigate this unsettling universe, you'll tackle bizarre and disturbing puzzles set against deceptively sweet environments that conceal truly horrific sights and sounds. The eerie soundtrack by the Czech band DVA adds another layer of dread, ensuring sleepless nights for players.

Happy happy joy joyI was genuinely taken aback to learn that Amanita Design, the creators behind the family-friendly Chuchel, were behind Happy Game. If you're unsure whether this game is worth your time, I recommend checking out our 2023 review where Will awarded it a commendable four stars, applauding its immersive atmosphere and chilling horror.
