Happy Game is a Point-and-Click Psychological Horror and Surreal Horror game developed by the independent Czech studio Amanita Design.Our main character, a nameless young boy, falls asleep to a horrible nightmare one night, created by a mysterious being, the Smiling Demon, seeking to harm him for unknown reasons. Unhappy, the boy must now set out to face each nightmare presented by the entity to escape and become happy again.The game follows a similar playstyle to most other Amanita games, but is significantly much darker in tone (and definitely not happy). The game was released on October 28, 2021.

Darker and Edgier

comment
Darker and Edgier: Compared to Amanita Design's other games, some of which were slightly dark but otherwise happy, this game showcases a young boy being targeted by a demon seeking to torture and kill him in his dreams at any opportunity. Speaking of which, you also get to witness various sorts of blood, mutilation, psychological trauma, and lord knows what else being conducted in the nightmares, unlike previous game titles. The game also has a darker twist on Chuchel's comic setup of somebody constantly chasing after something, as the Child's desires for the ball, stuffed bunny, and puppy are more tragic and the scenarios where they get wrenched away are played more cruelly.

Does This Remind You of Anything?
 Happy Game (Video Game) / int_14ed6ab7
comment
Does This Remind You of Anything?: The Downer Ending described below shows the Child remaining trapped in the nightmare after everything he had to go through, panicking for a few moments before calming down a bit and drawing a smiley face on the camera. As one YouTube comment on a playthrough of the game pointed out, this can be taken as a metaphor for having to cope with adulthood in general - inevitably, you WILL lose your childhood innocence, especially due to the loss of those close to you, but even though there's nothing you can do to get it back, you can still grow in its place the resolve to tell yourself that you've made it through it all and to keep going forward.

Ambiguous Situation
 Happy Game (Video Game) / int_1f6983f7
comment
Ambiguous Situation: Is everything in the game real and the Child really is being tormented by an Eldritch Abomination for its own sick amusement or is everything part of a Dying Dream as the Child, now an adult, suddenly seems to die in his room? Neither sound particularly pleasant, so it's probably best not to dwell on it.

Gravity Screw: The second nightmare takes place in circular spaces that wrap around with gravity pulling the characters down as they walk through hamster-wheel style. The effect is made more visible when the camera zooms out during the first two rabbit chases.

Blatant Lies: The title Happy Game doesn't really bring to mind a violent, psychoactive horror game that is definitely not happy. Heck, a warning before the gameplay starts directly clarifies that Happy Game is not a happy game.

Would Hurt a Child: The Demon doesn't give a damn about the Child's suffering, regardless of what he suffers in the nightmares. Speaking of which, some creatures in the nightmares will torture and even kill him given the chance.

Played much more cruelly the third time around. The game ends with the Child waking up for real and goes out to play with his dog...except this is just another part of the nightmare he's in, and he's seemingly trapped there forever.

comment
Body Horror: Unlike the games beforehand, Happy Game dabbles into this frequently, especially during the final sequence of the second nightmare, which depicts mutilated, still-living bodies of the previous characters littered throughout the abyss. Other occasions include cutting bunnies into two new ones, the heads of the Elk exposed on sinew, and a smiley face creature having arms poke out of its face orifices.

Losing Your Head: The Child survives a Ripper pulling off his smiley helmet with his head inside, and enters a brief sequence rolling around as the head inside the helmet. Later, the final nightmare has a sequence where the Child enters two headless scenarios after trying to climb on a smiling boulder.

The Demon. Whenever the Child's in trouble or about to get his toys back, the Demon will usually either laugh at his misery, or it just trolls him in a mischievous manner. Unfortunately, you get to see this happen a lot.

comment
Killer Rabbit: The Child encounters a few large rabbits in the first and second parts that will ravenously eat whatever's in front of them when summoned by the Dinner Bell. In the third part of the second nightmare, a slightly smaller, heart-faced rabbit can be summoned by the Bell, which then hunts the Child down while using its arm tongue to attack. In the last part, two will appear in the giant smiley heads. One is large and will impale small cockroaches. The other one is a smaller variant of the little bunnies, but it will mutilate a tiny emoji person once you switch their roles in the machine.

comment
Eldritch Abomination: The Demon. It is a vaguely humanoid creature or ghost that is capable of manipulating peoples' minds and memories and crafting vicious nightmares out of them. It's powers aren't just limited to your dreams either, as its apparently capable of summoning objects back into reality. The ending sequences for the third nightmare have several of these guys as well, this time being ghastly germ-like creatures that hide in mutilated dolls in the middle of a red space, and their intentions for the Child are less than peaceful.

Go Out with a Smile: Implied. Possibly. The ending quickly flashes to the Child lying on the ground, head melting, with a smile, seemingly implying that he died, or will one day die, after enduring interminable nightmare tortures, while bearing the expression that has haunted all of his dreams.

Botanical Abomination: The Pumpkins in the third nightmare. Two small variants resembles crude scarecrows, and they're capable of teleporting the Child to each other if he gets too close. The larger ones resemble hollow jack-o-lanterns, but breaking them reveals them to be shadowy...things with sticks for legs. Said legs also make weird creaking noises in a musical sort of fashion.

White Void Room: One appears close to the end of the first world, and it's filled with broken red toys.

Call a Smeerp a "Rabbit": The Elks in the third nightmare look absolutely nothing like elk, instead resembling little cyclopses with antlers.

Troubled Child
 Happy Game (Video Game) / int_dd5a660a
comment
Troubled Child: Going by what the memories show, the Child's life doesn't seem great, with his three key memories being the loss of a toy ball to a bullying older kid, the loss of his toy bunny in a river, and the loss of his puppy in a forest. It's also implied in the dream world that he suffers from an auditory disability, which the Demon takes advantage of.

Your Head A-Splode
 Happy Game (Video Game) / int_e0789c2a
comment
Your Head A-Splode: If you interfere with what the Hearts are doing, they will become unhappy and then this trope happens to them. The other Hearts seem to find this rather funny. Most of the Hearts can be actively dispatched by the player this way, but all of them will have this happen when the giant rabbit in that level is unleashed.

Light Is Not Good: You see that spotlight illuminating the darkness, or maybe that sun shining in the sky? That's actually the Demon staring directly at either you or the Child.

All Just a Dream
 Happy Game (Video Game) / int_ea85d6ea
comment
All Just a Dream: The game begins with the child going to sleep. Though this trope is likely Subverted. While most of the events really are nightmares, it's heavily implied the Demon is real and created the nightmares the Child is having. The Demon is present in the flashbacks showing how the Child lost his toys and dog, and in the second flashback the Child seams to actually be able to see the Demon.

Bright Is Not Good: The majority of the second nightmare consists of lush candy colors, but the chapter is also very grotesque and gory.

comment
Video Game Cruelty Potential: The Hearts in the second nightmare feature several optional small puzzles that allows you to ruin their fun and pop their heads, while only a few interactions are actually required to set up the guillotines and survive the rabbit attack in their area. The Hearts will all end up dying of terror when the rabbit appears, but the game allows you to take a more active role in their demise beforehand. You even get an achievement for killing them all this way.
