In the first piece of handcrafted Season Pass content, familiar faces and previously NPCs, James & Roger return in an all-new We Happy Few story. Wellington Wells stands besieged by a robot uprising, but the mechanized menace isn’t the only thing threatening to tear our pair apart. Play as Roger and team up with your boyfriend James to Find Dr. Faraday, explore a vast underground laboratory, and discover the source of the robot invaders before it’s too late!

New Features for They Came From Below:

•  Following up from the award-nominated writing of We Happy Few, enjoy a brand new story in Wellington Wells with a classic sci-fi twist
• Adventure into 100% handcrafted new areas and levels, like Dr. Faraday’s secret laboratory
• Take up shining new weapons and tools like the transforming ray gun and the time-slowing Chronobomb to test the mettle of a cadre of new robot foes
• Uncover the puzzling purpose of the Curious Device and feel clever doing it
• Stay focused on the mission and adventure—crafting, survival, and Joy mechanics have been removed from this adventure.
• Challenge yourself in a new boss fight unlike any other in We Happy Few

This DLC (and the following two) are part of the We Happy Few Season Pass for $19.99 or individually for $7.99, found on Steam, GOG.com, the Microsoft Store, and the Official PlayStation® Store.

About We Happy Few
We Happy Few is the tale of a plucky bunch of moderately terrible people trying to escape from a lifetime of cheerful denial in the city of Wellington Wells. In this alternative 1960s England, conformity is key. You’ll have to fight or blend in with the drug-addled inhabitants, most of whom don’t take kindly to people who won’t abide by their not-so-normal rules. Discover the retrofuturistic city’s dark history as you play through the intertwined narratives of three quietly rebellious citizens of Wellington Wells, each with their own strengths and weaknesses, as they face their pasts, prepare for the future, and engage in activities that aren’t exactly status quo in the artificially enthused society.
