Happy Game

Happy Game (2021) is a point-and-click psychedelic horror adventure developed and published by Amanita Design. After a little boy falls asleep, he becomes trapped in a nightmare filled with cynical smiley faces and undead bunnies. Guide the frightened child through three disturbing levels that represent his biggest fears. As you complete each puzzle, the boy becomes happier, and more about his past is revealed. 

From the creators of Botanicula and CHUCHEL, this dark indie game features creepy music and sounds from the Czech freak-folk band DVA. It also comes with a warning for those sensitive to flashing lights or images. There is also a mature content warning for disturbing images such as blood violence and more. In other words, Happy Game is anything but happy.
