Cyanide and Happiness: Freakpocalypse, formerly known as The Cyanide & Happiness Adventure Game, is a point-and-click game developed by Explosm Games and Skeleton Crew Studios, with the publishing done by Serenity Forge and the physical edition of the game being made by Limited Run. The studio, well known for their dark humor in comics, videos, and other projects, brought the game to Kickstarter in September 2017. The game was quickly funded and several stretch goals were met thanks to the 12k+ backers. Episode one of the game, titled Hall Pass to Hell, was released for Microsoft Windows, Nintendo Switch and the Epic Games Store altogether on March 11, 2021, and was later released on PlayStation4 and 5 and XBox on October 26, 2021. As of now, there are physical editions for both Switch and PS4, but there are no plans for XBox.

Overview[]

The Cyanide & Happiness Adventure Game is about a misfit high school boy named Cooper McCarthy. Play as Coop as he struggles to make and keep friends while struggling with the pressures of graduation, prom and deciding what he wants to do in the future. All gets put aside however when a unexpected toxic accident leaves the town of Netherville in complete chaos. Not only has the landscape changed, but the streets are riddled with all sorts of new and dangerous creatures. Ararchist cannibals, radioactive cults, mutant armies and suddenly sentient beings, one of which is now growing on Coop's head. Armed only with his friends, his fears, and a radioactive bottomless backpack, Coop faces this new world head-on.

Game Description[]

Explosm Store Version[]

Taking place in the Cyanide & Happiness universe, you play as a weird, unpopular ginger-headed orphan, and it's time to save the world. Or, maybe make things even worse.

As Coop "Go Away, Weirdo" McCarthy, all you want to do is make the world a better place. The trouble is: Nobody likes you, school sucks, you can't find a prom date, everybody bullies you (including your teachers), and your attempts to help only makes things worse. Will you escape high school alive? Who will love you? Why is this game called Freakpocalypse? Find the answers to these questions and more by looking at, talking to, and touching everything within the Cyanide & Happiness universe.

This game is part 1 of Coop’s “tragilogy” (trilogy of tragedy)

- In this point-and-click adventure, control Coop in his quest to be the hero he always wanted to be by helping the people of Netherton! Talk to, touch, and look at everything in your environment! That sexy looking clock? Ask it to prom! That rotting piece of fruit? Touch it!

Jump into the Cyanide & Happiness universe:

- Did we mention the sheer amount of fully-voiced freaks and friends you’ll see from some of your favorite animated shorts? Feast your eyes on familiar faces as you fetch, find and frolic through your environment! Meet famous folks like Ted Bear, Shark Dad, Señor Cleanfist, and more!

Help with a wide variety of side quests:

- The citizens of Netherton need help. Like, a LOT of help. Fortunately(?) for them, there’s Coop! Enjoy the full gameplay experience by finding dangerous markers, buying frozen drinks, and trying to make people less miserable! (Or at least hate you less)

Discover a plethora of costumes, easter eggs, and secrets:

- Netherton is… charming, if you look in the right places! Explore the town and discover a ton of different clothes, easter eggs, and hidden details while you avoid death to freaks and bullies! Unlock special achievements for how good (or bad) you are at exploration!

Enjoy the hallmark Explosm style

- True to the signature art style, Freakpocalypse includes animated shorts that’ll bring you right back to the cartoon series that started it all! On top of that, listen to a set of catchy, original tracks that give life (or death) to your atmosphere!

- Coop's main storyline can be completed in just a few hours, but if you explore more and see all of Netherton, it can take much more than that, even days!
