About Paranoia: Happiness is Mandatory

Paranoia: Happiness is Mandatory is a computer role-playing game (CRPG) set in the dystopian yet cheerful Alpha Complex, a vast underground city controlled by the all-seeing Friend Computer. You play as a team of Troubleshooters with RED security clearance, tasked with identifying and eliminating traitors. But in Alpha Complex, everyone is a traitor – including your own teammates. Trust no one, keep your laser handy, and always report suspicious behavior.

The game features a retro-futuristic world filled with technologies both wondrous and deadly. From malfunctioning robots to aggressive drink dispensers, every encounter can turn lethal. The unique character progression system uses cloning: if you die, you're reborn as a clone, retaining some skills but losing others. This encourages experimentation and multiple playthroughs.

Combat is real-time with active pause, inspired by classic CRPGs like Baldur's Gate. You can pause at any moment to issue orders, target specific enemies, or coordinate special abilities. Each of your four Troubleshooters can specialize in up to 9 skills, from laser weapons to hacking to bribery. Choose your team composition wisely – but remember, even your best friend might be a traitor.

The narrative is driven by your actions and the constant surveillance of Friend Computer. Every mission is a chance to prove your loyalty – or to secretly undermine the system. The game's dark humor satirizes bureaucracy, surveillance states, and blind obedience. You'll face moral choices that affect your standing with Friend Computer and the various secret societies operating in Alpha Complex.

Paranoia: Happiness is Mandatory is a faithful adaptation of the classic tabletop role-playing game. It captures the essence of the original: a mix of comedy, horror, and tactical gameplay. Whether you're a fan of the tabletop game or new to the world of Alpha Complex, this CRPG offers hours of replayable, paranoid fun.
