Between its gorgeous presentation and sentimental script, Please Be Happy might just be the most uplifting and heartfelt story I've taken in all year, full stop. Quick View - Release Date: November 21, 2022 - Developer: Studio Élan - Price: $19.99 - Suggested Audience Age: All Ages - Estimated Time to Complete: 12 hours for one ending, 20 hours for all four, depending on your reading speed. - Availability: Steam and itch.io, with console ports on the way in 2023 - Recommended for fans of: Cozy slice-of-life stories, heartfelt LGBTQ+ fiction, and earnest indie darlings. Geek to Geek Media was provided with a review copy of this title. Right from the beginning, Please Be Happy was always a story aimed straight up my alley. I love a sort of “familiar fantasy“, those with a sense of lived-in “worldliness” that feels oh-so-enriched by an injection of imagination. I adore slice-of-life fiction, and all the truisms that they wrap up in a blanket of sacccharine optimism. I'm even admittedly biased toward Studio Élan's work in general.

If you’re here for romance I suspect you may be disappointed. There isn’t enough strength in the romantic writing for me to recommend it on that basis. Really Please Be Happy is more story than yuri. I was pleased and engaged by the experience but I do think it’s important to go in with the appropriate expectations. Please Be Happy is light, but it isn’t disposable. If you’re looking for a relaxed slice-of-life story with some thoughtful exploration of purpose and identity, with a small helping of romance, then I think Please Be Happy is a safe bet. If nothing else the wonderful art and music justify the price tag in my book. PLEASE BE HAPPY IS RECOMMENDED Many thanks go to Studio Élan for a PC review code for this title.
