Our take on Cyanide & Happiness - Freakpocalypse (Episode 1)

The interaction-heavy format gives exploration room, but the main story can be completed in a few hours. Much of the additional playtime depends on searching more of Netherton, so players focused only on the central plot may see less of the town.

What is Cyanide & Happiness - Freakpocalypse (Episode 1)?

Play as Coop McCarthy, an unpopular orphan trying to be a hero in Netherton.

This point-and-click adventure centers on exploring the environment and interacting with its people and objects by looking, talking, and touching. Help residents through side quests, search for dangerous markers, and find clothes, Easter eggs, and hidden details while avoiding freaks and bullies. The game includes familiar characters from the Cyanide & Happiness universe, fully voiced characters, animated shorts, and original music. Coop’s main story can take a few hours to complete; exploring more of Netherton can extend playtime. This is the first entry in a planned trilogy.
