The Untitled Happiness Project

Set in Phaseolus town, the untitled happiness project casts the player as a worker for the Happiness corporation sent to help two named residents, Jonathan Perry and Rachel Portland, become happy again. The objective is specific rather than abstract: follow their daily routine, explore the town, and speak with residents to gather the information needed to solve their case. The play focus leans toward observation, conversation, and careful reading of social context. Instead of rushing toward obvious fixes, progress depends on learning how Jonathan, Rachel, and the surrounding townspeople connect during an ordinary day. That gives the town an investigative role: residents are not just background figures, but sources of clues that may clarify what has gone wrong and what might help. For players drawn to narrative problem-solving, the strongest appeal is the slower, more attentive rhythm. The premise asks for patience with routine and dialogue, rewarding those who treat each conversation as possible evidence rather than filler. A useful approach is to track what each resident reveals, then connect those details back to Jonathan Perry and Rachel Portland before deciding how to move their case forward.
