It is mandatory to take it if you want to be a citizen of Wellington Wells. The addictive drug comes with lots of side-effects and overall makes you into a mindless robot. Joy is an artificial drug that makes you forget your worries and memories, so you can just be happy. After seeing the negative effects of the drug and deciding they want a different life for themselves, you must help these characters break free from Joy to regain their life and fading memories. Each of them has their own demons that they would like to soon forget, but not at the cost of losing their memories (a side-effect of Joy).

The game follows the individual events of three characters-Arthur Hastings, Sally Boyle, and Ollie Starkey-one at a time, who are all connected in one way or another. That is where Joy is introduced, but more on that later. With almost all hope being lost, the people of Wellington Wells are forced to do something so heinous, they can no longer be happy. In this alternate timeline of World War II, the United States did not join the Allies, leaving Great Britain to fend off the German attacks with little support.

The game tells the story of the citizens of Wellington Wells who have lost their ability to be happy. Story is important in every game, but especially in We Happy Few, which is narrative driven.
