[h1] Sweet Nightmares [/h1] Happy Game is a masterclass in psychological horror that completely subverts its cheerful title.While some might find them too simple, they perfectly suit the game's focus on delivering a visceral, emotional experience.The sound design deserves special mention, every giggle, whimper, and squelch is perfectly crafted to enhance the nightmarish atmosphere.[b]PROS:[/b] + cool dark puzzles + eerie soundtrack + Amanita after dark + great on Steam Deck + gore and disturbing images…Why it fits
