I back We Happy Few the other day on Kickstarter, just before it ended. Only went in at a low level, which would give me access to the game when released, but I've watched some gameplay videos and I found it very compelling.
The game seems to be set in '60s post-war england. I think I read that it's an alternative reality where Germany won the war and now the population is all hooked on happy pills and in denial, or something. You, as the player, are a "downer", ie, someone who is no longer taking their happy pills and the aim of the game is to escape. Whether that means escaping just the town or finding where the other downers live, I guess we'll find out more as the development progresses.
The game is being made by a small developer. I'm looking forward to seeing what happens!
Check it out on youtube. The kickstarter has now finished, so sadly you can't back it anymore.
