Paranoia: Happiness Is Mandatory is a CRPG based on a cult-hit board game IP. It was supposed to come out on October 3rd, but publishers Bigben has announced that it’s getting delayed to November 14th.
No real reason was given, though the press release has this statement regarding the delay:
“Traitors have infiltrated Alpha Complex and stolen some of the game code for Paranoia: Happiness is Mandatory.”
Friend Computer is furious and is asking you to be extra vigilant. Because of this intrusion, Friend Computer has decreed that every citizen must remain confined to their quarters. The release of Paranoia: Happiness is Mandatory has been delayed until November the 14th, when the codes of the game are in a safe place!”
For the uninitiated, the world of Paranoia is a dystopian world where an AI called Friend Computer controls the people with full authority. The writing is all tongue-in-cheek, and players are the troubleshooters, humans serving the orders of Friend Computer to eliminate security threats.
Paranoia, alongside WRC 8 and Bee Simulator, are releasing on PC as an Epic Games Store exclusive.
