Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })While watching TV you come across an odd commercial that really speaks to you. Literally. Cultivating Happiness is a very short horror game, made by Professor Oneira for the O2A2VN Jam 2022. It is available for free on it's itch.io page. Due to the game being extremely short, it would be difficult to talk about it without any spoilers. Therefor all spoilers are unmarked. You Have Been Warned.

Ambiguously Human: The woman in the commercial who is somehow capable of hearing and speaking to you from inside the TV. Apart from that, she also says she knows all about you, implying that she deliberately targeted you with the recruitment ad.

Anti-Escapism Aesop: The Sustainable Utopia Settlement offers complete isolation from the outside world to escape "doomers" and scary everyday facts like climate change. They're very obviously a cult in all but name and the recruiter makes it very clear that once you've joined you're expected to stay for good and will be "encouraged" to perform tasks to pay the settlement back for all they've given you. In one of the endings, obviously meant to be the good ending, the protagonist tells the recruiter that total escapism in exchange for utter conformity is neither worth it nor healthy and that they want to try and fix their life instead of running away from it.
