The melodies range from upbeat and whimsical to dark and foreboding. However, the soundtrack is what shines brightest though.

The sound effects are well done, with there being some truly visceral sounding gore effects as heads get snapped off and creatures ripped apart. Once again, there’s no real dialogue, but like in Chuchel, there are some cute nonsensical mutterings. The sound design in Happy Game is wonderful. What can I say? I’m a sucker for all things ghastly and grisly. And yes, I am aware that I’m calling a game featuring decapitated bunnies and hideous monsters gorgeous. The result are a few images that have a noticeably lower resolution that distracts from a normally gorgeous game. Animal Crossing: Happy Home Paradise is out now and can be purchased for 24. My only issue is that occasionally the images looked a bit too stretched, like they decided to take a small image and expand it to fill the screen. I answer some of the burning questions about playing this new expansion pack and what you can do in the game. I absolutely loved it! Somehow Amanita Design was able to make a game that was simultaneously disturbing, grotesque, and adorable. This is the cutest circle of Hell I’ve ever seen.Īs I mentioned above, the art design of Happy Game is very much the same as Chuchel, only given a gruesome makeover. Because of this, Happy Game kept me much more engaged than Chuchel. Yes, there are still plenty of sections that will have you simply clicking on something obvious in order to progress, but there were actually a few places that had me stumped for a moment. While Happy Game still won’t require you to be a genius to solve its puzzles, the difficulty has definitely been increased for the most part. My biggest complaint with Chuchel was its lack of any sort of challenge. The entire thing is presented without an extensive narrative or any real dialogue, which reminded me of Limbo or DARQ, especially due to the macabre nature of the game. Where in Chuchel you were a fuzzy little monster chasing after a cherry that was constantly being snatched away from you, in Happy Game you’re a boy chasing after his ball. You’ll move the protagonist through numerous challenges and obstacles that are presented in different sections like chapters. Youll often see blood on the floor (best case scenario). Just like Chuchel, Happy Game is a point-and-click adventure that’s best described as an interactive animation. Happy Game also depicts various fantasy characters participating in highly absurd comical violence.
