We Happy Few , you may recall, is an upcoming crowdfunded first-person social survival game from Contrast devs Compulsion Games. Besides its vibrant aesthetic, it poses an interesting premise: you’re trapped in an alternate 1960s England where everyone in town is high on a hallucinatory happy drug called Joy but you’re just coming off it. Problem is, this town hates “downers” and if they realise you’re one there’ll be hell to pay. It’s sort-of BioShock, sort-of Orwell’s 1984, sort-of Huxley’s A Brave New World. We Happy Few is heading to Ea

Compulsion – the studio behind 2013’s cabaret shadow platformer Contrast – have semi-announced their next project. The details on offer at the moment are scant, with even the name a mystery, but the developers confirm that the game will not be a sequel to Contrast: “We haven’t ruled out doing one in the future, but after so long working on Contrast, we wanted to make something fresh. Something new and exciting. It involves masks, drugs and memory loss, but we swear it’s not a swinger’s party.” …

Hey everyone! Contrast is 75% off right now, as part of the FOCUS sale, until 13 October. This makes it a whopping US$3.75. We might be biased, but this is the cheapest Contrast has ever been, and is a great price.

If you guys and girls want to ask any questions about the game, we'll do our best to answer anything posted over on Contrast's community forums.

Hey everyone A small but very important update today - we've added Russian localization! You should now be able to select Russian alongside the other languages, and it should default to Russian if you system language is set to Russian too. So, for our Russian players, Здравствуйте! I'm sorry it took so long to get this out; next time, Russian will be a much greater priority. There are also a few minor bug fixes, and the game should be running pretty smoothly for you now. Feel free to leave any feedback in the comments or in the forums. Cheers!

Hey team! Thank you for the support so far! We have been paying very close attention to all your comments in your feedback/reviews, and we've been working really hard on addressing them. So, today we put out a major patch on Steam that fixed a whole lot of bugs (and you can now escape backwards through menus... huzzah!). We're really excited about it, because the game is playing really well, and much more as we originally intended. Info on the patch is available here. We'd love to hear your opinions on how the bug squashing went. And hey, if you feel like telling people about it, Contrast also
