About the Game

Welcome to The Village, a peaceful place where everything seems to unfold exactly as it should, at least at first glance.
But this isn’t the story of a village. It’s the story of three paths, three lives that begin in the same place… and end far too soon.

Follow each protagonist as they try to move forward in their own journey. Every choice reveals something new, every deviation opens an unexpected possibility. Sometimes things stop abruptly. Sometimes they end badly.
And it’s in those endings that you begin to understand how this world truly works.

Each of the three characters brings a distinct playstyle, with unique ways of interacting with the world, solving situations, and advancing their storyline. Their perspectives don’t just differ narratively  they reshape how you approach the game itself.

But no character can progress on their own.
The story can only move forward through external knowledge, information learned from another protagonist’s path. By understanding what the others have seen, discovered, or failed to do, each character unlocks new possibilities and overcomes the limits of their own perspective.
You are the only one who can bridge these gaps.

Happy Village: The Broken Timeline is a narrative RPG driven by discovery, by the clues hidden within consequences, and by the way the three stories intertwine. Progress comes from observing, shifting your direction when needed, and uncovering what allows each tale to push past the limits that once seemed unavoidable.

The village may look tranquil, but it’s packed with secrets. Every NPC has a meaning, a purpose, and a piece of a truth that no single character can fully grasp. As the paths overlap, so do the revelations and the twists become impossible to ignore.

Key Features

  • Three protagonists, three perspectives
    Each one sees a different fragment of the bigger picture. Only the player can connect the dots.

  • Three unique gameplay styles
    Every character offers a distinct way to explore the world, face challenges, and progress their storyline.

  • External knowledge progression
    Characters can advance only through information discovered in the other stories. Understanding one path unlocks new possibilities in the others.

  • Choices that shape the path
    Consequences, good or bad, open new routes and unexpected developments.

  • Multiple endings
    The more you observe and alter the flow of events, the more outcomes you’ll unlock.

  • Narrative puzzles and micro-mysteries
    Moving forward requires interpretation, intuition, and knowing when to change course.

  • A village full of secrets
    Every NPC holds meaning, every corner hides a clue, and nothing is placed by accident.

  • A peaceful place… not entirely
    A welcoming setting that slowly reveals something far larger beneath its surface.

“Do not forget”

This is the tale of three different stories,  three lives that begin in the same place and reach their end.
Each character holds only fragments of the truth, pieces of a greater whole they cannot see.
You are the only one who can witness all three, connect their knowledge, and reshape fate itself.
Death is not the end... only another path to understanding.
