Amanita Design are known for their cheery and charming adventure games, wonders likeSamorost,Machinarium,Botanicula, andChuchel. Their next game sounds like it should be their cheeriest yet, given that it’s namedHappy Game. Reader dear, this is a trick. Happy Game is blood and death and horror. You will see this soon, as Amanita today announced plans to release Happy Game on the 28th of October. Or you can try a demo now!

Happy Game stars a kiddywinkle who falls into a terrible nightmare, which seems to involve a lot of things having their heads removed. A demo is upon Steamto show how this starts and offer a few puzzles. In the Amanita way, it seems quite trial-and-error-y but playful enough that I quite like pulling and prodding to see what everything does. I don’t mind that when characters don’t simply shrug say “I can’t do that.”

I’m not often one for cutesy horror but I have a lot of trust in Amanita.

Happy Game is coming to Windows and Mac via Steam andGOGon October 28th. It will also be on Nintendo Switch.
