Compulsion Games revealed on Twitter that the film is still a long ways out, as fans "will see the game way before the movie comes out."
No director is attached to the project yet and the producers are still looking for writers. The film reportedly remains "true to the source material, while still surprising fans" and will retain the game's "menace, dark humor, and central themes.”
We Happy Few takes place during an alternate-1960s in an isolated English town where its citizens are forced to take a hallucinogenic drug called "Joy."
