Happy's Humble Burger Farm

Happy's Humble Burger Farm casts you as a new overnight employee at a fast-food restaurant on the edge of New Elysian City. The gameplay opens as a state-of-the-art restaurant management sim — grill patties, operate deep fryers, pour drinks, take customer orders, deliver food without errors, take out the trash, put out fires, manage rats. Three infractions and Happy the Humble Heifer becomes considerably less joyful, which is the polite version of what the franchise's mascot is actually capable of.

Underneath the restaurant sim, Story Mode unfolds the secrets of the Happy's Humble Burger Farm franchise, Obscura Biotech (the parent company), and your own existence as a New Elysian City resident. The streets and storefronts of the city become explorable between shifts, with side jobs, the Steal 'n' Sell pawn shop, and an extensive library of in-fiction audio logs and research pages building out the conspiracy underneath the fast food cheer.

The production layer is unusually deep. Around 2 hours of in-game talk radio and 60+ television programs (with epic cameos) play in the background. An interactive jukebox carries 9 brand-new albums recorded exclusively for the game plus 5 returning classics from the studio's earlier projects (Landing Gear, Senile Showdown OST). The Barnyard Buds — Happy's cast of corporate mascots — wait throughout, with their actual nature gradually revealed.
