Oh joy!

We Happy Few is a "game of paranoia and self-described survival, in a dystopian English city drugged in 1964." In May, the Australian Clbadification Board considered the title and refused the clbadification, which means We Happy Few was actually banned from selling in the country.

Developer Compulsion Games and the publisher Gearbox tried to appeal decision of the board of directors. administration, and as confirmed today, We Happy Few has now been reviewed and ranked at the R18 + level due to "fantasy violence and interactive drug use." will be available for purchase in Australia after all.

Context Matters Here's How Compulsion Publicly Defended the Game After the Initial Decision:

" We Happy Few is set in a dystopian society, and the first scene consists of a character of a player who writes material that may offend society in general, "as part of his job as a government archivist". This is a society that forces its citizens to take joy, and the goal of the game is to reject this programming and to defend themselves, in this context, the overall social commentary of our game is no different from that of Aldous Huxley Brave New World or Terry Gilliam Brazil . "

It is rebaduring to see this settled.If We Happy Few had not been filed, Compulsion would have offered refunds.With Kickstarter involved in financing the game, that would have been all a mess
