Paranoia: Happiness is Mandatory

This is an action role-playing game in which players assume the role of a troubleshooter, a protector of a dystopian society controlled by an authoritarian A.I. From a 3/4-overhead perspective, players lead a team of three officers as they traverse futuristic complexes and complete mission objectives. During some missions, the team will engage in real-time combat with enemy forces (e.g., traitors, rogue robots, fish mutants). Players use laser blasters, rocket launchers, and explosives to defeat enemies in frenetic combat. Battles are accompanied by large explosions and screen-shaking effects. Characters emit splashes of blood when shot and killed; some areas depict small blood pools underneath corpses. Drugs are a recurrent theme in the game: Happy Pills, Bouncy Bubbly Beverage, SMASH, G-Nine, and Brain Bump are fictional drugs frequently referenced, and sometimes consumed by players' character; the dialogue also references drug terminology (e.g., "We won't finish our mission if everyone is too high to walk straight"; "[W]hy did I bring along a known substance abuser"; "Or maybe my drug induced dreams...hallucinating pink giraffes roller skating..."). The word “bastard” appears in the game.
