Trivia:

WordOfGod is that Percy is on the Autistic Spectrum but he was never diagnosed because Autism hadn't been properly discovered in the 40's. He was often described as "dim" or "slow" by many characters. He always mentioned the dates and times of events he described, he wasn't very good at reading people's emotional states, and not only was he a rubbish liar, he didn't seem to understand why telling a girl's mum that ''he'' was in a tree outside her bedroom instead of his brother doesn't actually help. Understanding why people are upset was also not one of his strengths, as he reacted with confusion when Arthur got mad at him for spending the whole day riding the tube up and down without telling anyone where he was. He also had a limited vocabulary, a bad stammer, and he often used words or phrases wrong. Also the only person he felt comfortable talking to was Arthur. Additionally Arthur mentions that Percy didn't like toys because they were just imitations and he wasn't fond of ''anything'' that wasn't the real thing - which has a hidden meaning in how Joy doesn't provide ''real'' happiness.

* BannedInChina: Due to the game's focus on Joy and allowing the player to take it as a means to blend in, the game was banned in Australia for depictions of drug use and addiction. This ban [[http://www.gamerevolution.com/news/402657-we-happy-few-unbanned-in-australia was overturned in July of 2018]] - after all, drugs aren't exactly being portrayed in a positive light - and the game will be released with an R18+ rating.

* FakeBrit: Notably averted. The developers originally wanted Canadian actors who put on British accents[[note]]Compulsion Games is located in Canada, and the project started out as an indie game with a limited budget[[/note]], but after reviewing the voices provided, they noticed the actors couldn't put on a convincing accent and performance at the same time. This led them to recast every character, this time with British actors.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: YouTube personality [[WebVideo/{{Jimquisition}} Jim Sterling]] originally provided voice acting for the game, but went unused in the final game though some players have claimed to have heard his voice so either his lines come up very rarely or there is a voice that sounds similar to his.
