Step into the shoes of Coop “Go Away, Weirdo” McCarthy, a ginger-headed orphan with a heart of gold and a knack for making things worse. In Cyanide & Happiness - Freakpocalypse (Episode 1), you're tasked with saving the world, a mission made significantly harder by the fact that nobody likes you.

School is a nightmare, prom dates are non-existent, and even your attempts to do good only seem to exacerbate the chaos. This dark comedy adventure, developed by Explosm and Skeleton Crew Studios and published by Serenity Forge, plunges you headfirst into the hilariously bleak universe of Cyanide & Happiness.

Overview

This is the first installment in a trilogy of tragicomedy, offering a point-and-click adventure experience steeped in the signature dark humor and cartoonish violence of its source material. Players will navigate the trials of high school, grapple with existential questions about love and self-worth, and uncover the meaning behind the game's peculiar title. The game is rated for mature audiences due to its strong language, suggestive themes, alcohol/drug use, and general mature content, alongside cartoon violence.

  • Mature Cartoon Comedy: Features the distinctive art style and humor of Cyanide & Happiness, including cartoon violence and strong language.
