In Happyhills, you play mostly as a slasher whose crimes are pursued by a detective. The story gradually reveals the killer’s motives through both perspectives.
Across 20 levels, figure out how to approach each target. Use stealth, timing, environmental objects, weapons, and traps to carry out different kills while navigating threats.
Some stages shift to the detective, who investigates the murders. The levels mix puzzle-solving with action sequences, and progress through increasingly challenging scenarios.
Players who enjoyed the game often praise its retro slasher atmosphere, pixel-art violence, creative kill scenarios, and horror-film references. Reviews also appreciate the shift between playing as the killer and detective, and the dark humor that gives the story a knowingly pulpy tone. Some find the short, straightforward levels entertaining, while others criticize repetition, awkward action sections, or bugs that can block progress.
