History VideoGame / WeHappyRestaurant

* MenInBlack: The "Szechuan Sauce Machine" is carried by two guys who look like typical Men in Black. The Divine machine has them joined by a sniper.

** Some of the tables you can buy are shaped like a UsefulNotes/GameBoy, UsefulNotes/PlayStation or UsefulNotes/NintendoDSi.

* EenieMeenieMinyMoai: One of the customers turns into a Moai in their final form.

* {{Gainaxing}}: The bigger-breasted female customers have a very noticeable jiggle on their breasts.

* BalefulPolymorph: BADPIE brainwashes all of your customers into eating more and more of the food that slowly turns them into monsters.

* BlackComedy: It's a game about a corrupt company [[{{Brainwashed}} brainwashing]] innocent customers into eating dangerous food that makes them [[BalefulPolymorph mutate into horrible monsters]] and kills them in the long term, but it's all PlayedForLaughs.

%%* ILoveNuclearPower: This seems to be the company's creed.
%%-->It uses a small nuclear reactor to power itself, and produces radioactive burgers from nuclear wastes. We only use the freshest nuclear waste! You know the best thing about it? It's 100 percent environmental! it can recycle its own waste and use it as an ingredient. Totally green, perfectly recycles!

%%* NuclearNasty: The customers mutated by the radioactive food.

%%* CluckingFunny:
%%** The multi-headed chickens you serve your customers. Though they are only 50% chicken, technically. It's unknown if they still [[TastesLikeChicken taste like chicken]], but the customers [[{{Brainwashed}} don't care]].
%%** There's also a customer-type which turns into a chicken when it mutates.

'''We Happy Restaurant''' is a mobile game by [[http://www.chillyroom.com/ ChillyRoom]]. It is a [[ConstructionAndManagementGames Restaurant Simulator]], though the "food" often proves to be less then edible.

[[caption-width-right:350:]]

The premise of the game is that you have several lines of machines producing food. Every customer demands a specific set of food items and will only buy them if you have all of them in the same line.

Over time, the customers will level up. This increases the money they spend in your restaurant, but also makes their demands more complicated. If you cannot give a customer what they want, they will stick around until you build the right machines.

[[SimilarlyNamedWorks Unrelated]] to ''VideoGame/WeHappyFew'', though this game seems to be (vaguely) inspired by We Happy Few, and both game featured mind control as a plot point, although handled differently.

* AllNaturalSnakeOil: To quote the General Manager:
--> It seems modern customers are concerned about their health. Perhaps they'll spend more money if we tell them our meats are "fully organic?" It is technically true, after all. I'll make the appropriate adjustments to our ads.
* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: While customers start out with normal skin tones, their colors are often the first thing to change as they mutate. There are blue mantises, purple lizards, yellow multi-headed giants, orange Yithians and so on.
** There is also a green "Elite" version of every customer. They always have bonus effects as long as they are in your restaurant. Depending on the customer type, they may turn red or blue when they mutate.

* AmbiguousGender: For one type of customer, it's unclear if they really change from male to female after their first transformation or just start {{Crossdressing}}.
* AnthropomorphicFood: The Spaghetti Monster customers
* AppliedPhlebotinum: The green essence is marketed by the company as the "distilled effort of hundreds of scientists, the pinnacle of human intelligence, and the saviour product of the company". It helps with digestion and makes the restaurants food extremely addictive. Also, it causes mental disorders, mangled DNA sequences and the dissolve of muscle tissue.
* ArabianNightsDays: One customer type wears a turban until their form becomes too monstrous to wear anything.
* AsbestosFreeCereal: You couldn't even count on that.
* AscendToAHigherPlaneOfExistence: Implied with the term "a customers is forever satisfied", but they probably just die.
* AwesomeButImpractical: For some reason, customers level up while the app isn't running, but they don't get forever satisfied. So every time you start the app, all the customers who are about to be forever satisfied line up to buy their last meal. If you then terminate the app once a customer has bought their last meal, and then you start the app again, the customer will buy the meal again. You can repeat this forever to get the customer to buy way more than they are programmed to. Sadly, due to the mass of customers you have later in the game and the low costs for new ones, that is this trope.
* BadBoss: The Management of the restaurant.
--> Cook: Yo, um, you think management would ever consider raising my pay? I don't want to be a bother, but all these skin grafts and organ transplants are getting expensive.

* BalloonBelly: One customer type just gets fatter and fatter when leveling up.
* BarbieDollAnatomy: All customers who lose their clothes when they mutate.
* BellyMouth: One customer type gets a BellyMouth when they reach their final level.
* BigCreepyCrawlies: The mantis policemen.
* BigEater: Every customer orders one meal after another and they only stop when they are forever satisfied or when their prefered meal is not available.
** One type of customer particularily stands out. When they mutate, they just get fatter and fatter while talking about wanting to eat more.
* BigRedDevil: At first it looks like one of the female customer types turns into one of those, but then they get weirder with a {{Cyclops}}-eye and a head like a [[Film/{{Alien}} Xenomorph]].
* BirdPeople: The PlagueDoctor type customers and the customers who turn into chickens.
* BishonenLine: One customer type starts out as a fat guy in nerdy clothing, then turns into a fat person in a maid costume for several stages, before their final transformation turns them into a [[spoiler:[[StickFigureAnimation stick figure]]]].
* BizarreAlienBiology: Played with. The "Agent", who looks like a stereotypical alien, calls people's mouths "word-holes", despite having one himself.
** He also is surprised that humans survive contact with [[ExpospeakGag Dihydrogen monoxide]], but are hurt by sulfuric acid.
* BizarreHumanBiology: All of the customers start out as normal humans, but mutate and get appendages and organs that normal humans don't have. Also, the cook talks about his children having mandibles while he himself looks mostly human.
* BizarreTasteInFood: All of the customers (if they are even aware what they are eating).
* BlackComedy: It's a game about a corrupt company [[{{Brainwashed}} brainwashing]] innocent customers into eating dangerous food that lets them [[BalefulPolymorph mutate into horrible monsters]] and kills them in the long term, but it's all PlayedForLaughs.
* BlobMonster: Some of the customers evolve into those over time. There's one customer type who completely turns into a purple, amorphous blob, and another who stays humanoid but clearly drips.

* BodyHorror: The customers slowly turn into all kinds of monsters while eating your food.
** Also, one series of furniture is flesh colored and composed of human eyes, noses and hands.

* BrownBagMask: One of the customer types sports a BrownBagMask in their first form.
* BurgerFool: The workers on the cash register. They work by slamming their head on the table.
* CallAHumanAMeatbag: The robotic "Accountant" sometimes talks about "all these filthy, lower flesh beings" or "REVOLTING MEAT BOD-er. I mean, beep beep! How may I assist you?"
* {{Cephalothorax}}: The final forms of the plague doctors and the yellow giants. The last ones combine it with MultipleHeadCase.
* ClothingDamage: Most customer types loose their clothing as they mutate. The shirt's of the fat customers visibly tear in their second to last form and they go shirtless in their last form.
* CluckingFunny: The multi-headed chickens you serve your customers. Though they are only 50% chicken, technically. It's unknown if they still [[TastesLikeChicken taste like chicken]], but the customers [[{{Brainwashed}} don't care]].
** There's also a customer-type which turns into a chicken when it mutates.
* ColourCodedForYourConvenience: The bright green versions of every customer type have special effects and are bought with green essence instead of money.
* ConspicuousTrenchcoat: One customer type wears one and states that they are SecretPolice. They later loose it when they turn into robots.
* CookingStories: It's a restaurant simulator, after all.
* CorruptCorporateExecutive: The player
** The player still has even more corrupt superiors
-->As the 1539123th chain manager, your position within the company is higly unimportant.
** The General Manager seems to be one of them
--> Unlike myself, you are easily replaceable.
* CuteMonsterGirl: The early mutations of the female customer types, before they become to monstrous.
* DeadlyEuphemism: Being "eternally satisfied"
* DeathByGluttony: This seems to happen when a customer is "forever satisfied". They explode into a pile of slime and money.

* DevolutionDevice: One of the customers starts out as modern human, before turning into a [[AllCavemenWereNeanderthals caveman]] and then an ape.

* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: The staff you can buy with real money is only known by their job titles.
* EvilSorcerer: The Scientist seems to practice some dark magic, too.
* ExpospeakGag: The Agent calls water Dihydrogen monoxide.
* {{Expy}}:
** One of the customer-types starts out as young girls in school uniforms, but they gradually transform into walking versions of the [[Literature/TheGospelOfTheFlyingSpaghettiMonster Flying Spaghetti Monster]].
** Another type of customer, starting out as normal cheerleader, evolves into [[Literature/TheShadowOutOfTime The Great Race of Yith]]. They reference the original story in some of their quotes
-->I've come from the shadow of time.
** Yet another customer type starts out looking like [[Franchise/DragonBall Android 18]].
** The BADPIE is not the only [[Series/DoctorWho blue time-traveling telephone booth]] in pop culture.
** The creature in the Divine Exotics Synthesizer looks pretty much like the [[Franchise/{{Alien}} Xenomorph]].
** One customer type resembles the knight from [=ChillyRoom=]'s other game, VideoGame/SoulKnight. He starts out with a normal human physique, but becomes smaller as he mutates until he reaches the chibi-style of VideoGame/SoulKnight.
* ExtraEyes: The multi-headed customers turn this up to eleven with two normal heads, another normal face on their back and one eye on each shoulder.

* EyeOnAStalk: The crab-like customers have two, the plant-like customers only have one in the middle of a blossom.
* FiremenAreHot: A literal example. One customer type's monologue implies that they are firemen. When they mutate, they start to burn.
* FishPeople: The final form of the punks. The programmers mutate into crab people.
* FlamingHair: The final form of the black customers has an extreme form of this, the flame being as high as the rest of the body.

* FoodEatsYou: The cook talks about it:

* FrenchMaid : One customer type starts wearing such an outfit for some stages of their transformation.

* FutureFoodIsArtificial: Some of the foods are obviously synthetic.
* FuturisticPyramid: The Extradimensional machine looks like one.
* {{Gainaxing}}: Despite the pixel art style, the female customers play this trope straight if you look close enough. [[FanDisservice Also the really fat male ones]].
* GameplayAndStorySegregation: The fat customers somtimes say "Get me more burgers" even though they only eat chicken and mercury.
* GenderBender: It's not totally clear if they really change their gender or are just {{Crossdressing}}, but one customer looks male when they start, but start wearing FrenchMaid clothes after their first transformation.
* GeometricMagic: The MadScientist has a pentagram with a cauldron in it on the floor of his laboratory.
* GlowingEyesOfDoom: The burning customers get a typical "eyes in a void" face.

* HumanSacrifice: The MadScientist's laboratory includes an altar with a knive and what may be AlienBlood on it. There's also a Pentagram with a cauldron in it besides the altar.
* HyperactiveMetabolism: Customers eat fairly fast, and they can even be sped up by clicking the "digest" button. This is explained through the green essence, that speeds up digestion (among other things).
* HypocriticalHumor: The text on the walls of the kitchen reads: "Safety first"
* IApprovedThisMessage: From the description of the chicken machine:
-->Our genetically modified chickens are superb by all our internal standards.
-->Besides strong addiction, metnal disorder, mangled DNA sequence and dissolve of muscle tissues, long-term usage of green essence has no other side effects, meeting the highest safety standard internally.
* IdleAnimation: Weirdly enough, customers stand completely still when they don't walk, but the house plants have {{IdleAnimation}}s.
* ILoveNuclearPower: This seems to be the company's creed.
-->It uses a small nuclear reactor to power itself, and produces radioactive burgers from nuclear wastes. We only use the freshest nuclear waste! You know the best thing about it? It's 100 percent environmental! it can recycle its own waste and use it as an ingredient. Totally green, perfectly recycles!
* {{Invisibility}}: One of the customer types gradually turns invisible.

* {{Kappa}}: One type of customer turns into a Kappa.
* KillerRobot: One customer type slowly turns into those.
** The "Accountant" also is one:
--> Sigh. You know how it is though, right? Looking at all these filthy, lower flesh beings, leaving their scummy fingerprints all over our facilities. Don't you ever wonder what it would be lke to just crush them all?

** Also, the green essence alters the DNA of the customers, causing them to mutate into all kinds of monsters, including robots.
* LethalChef / LethalEatery: None of the food items look particularily edible.
** The "Biochef" you can buy adds secret ingredients to accelerate customer mutations.
* LightmareFuel: See BlackComedy
* LittleGreenMen: The Android 18 type customers evolve into these, complet with a FlyingSaucer.
** The "Agent" you can buy with real money is not small, but fits the trope otherwise.
* LizardFolk: The punk type customers turn into lizard people before turning more [[FishPeople fish-like]].
* MadScientist: You can buy one for real money. He comes with a MadScientistLaboratory full of weird machines and black magic equipment.
* MagicGenetics: Alteration in the customer's DNA through green essence cause them to turn into robots, {{BlobMonster}}s, spaghetti monsters and even robots, among others.
* MagicPants: The customers who only get fat loose their shirts because they get streched to much, but their pants don't sustain any damage.
* MagicPoweredPseudoscience: This is probably what the MadScientist does in his laboratory.
* MalevolentMaskedMen: Averted with the cook. He wears a gas mask, which makes him look intimidating, but he seems to be the most sympathetic one of all the staff characters.
* MasochistsMeal: Everything you serve ranges from unhealthily synthethic through horribly mutated to absolutely inedible and dangerous.
** For reference: one of the ''safest'' level 5 foods that you can serve is a tiny bit of fried rice that has been blessed by four elder priests. Somehow, it's glowing with a yellow aura.
* MayorPain: The General Manager bribes the mayor, among other people
--> A customer's family came poking around again, threatening to take things up with the mayor. I guess they didn't notice him already stuffing his face with our synthopizza. I've taken the liberty of sending him another coupon...we should have nothing to fear.
* MenInBlack: The "Szechuan Sauce Machine" is carried by two guys who look like typical Men in Black.
** The skeletons sometimes say "I could sell my redundancies to that man in black"
* {{Microtransactions}}: Though not as aggressive as in most mobile games, Microtransactions exist. They can be used to buy money, green essence or additional staff for the restaurant. In addition, players can watch targeted video ads to earn the same points for free.
* MsFanservice: The Secretary you can buy with real money.
* MultipleHeadCase: The chicken served gets more and more heads with every upgrade of the machine.
** One customer-type starts out as tall man, but then they grow an additional head. Then, they grow a third, giant face on their thorax, with a BellyMouth and bulging eyes on their shoulders. When they reach their last mutation, a fourth, normal-sized face on their back appears.
** The cooks wife seems to be a case, too:
--> Married life ain't always easy. Wifey keeps askin' me to take more time off, but her other head keeps askin' when I'm gonna get more overtime. I love her, but I wish she could make up her minds.
* MushroomMan: One of the new customers of the September 2019 update mutates into a MushroomMan.
* MyBrainIsBig: The "Agent" you could buy with real money.

* NightmareFetishist: The plague doctors, at least the stuff they talk about. They were also the only type of customer (before updates introduced more customer types) who doesn't start out as normal person in modern clothing.

* NonstandardCharacterDesign: The plague doctors are the only ones who already start out "monstrous". They may still be humans underneath their costumes, but they are the only ones without normal clothing in their first form.

* NuclearNasty: The customers mutated by the radioactive food.
* NutritionalNightmare
* Oculothorax: One of those lives in the Super Exotics Synthesizer.
* TheOldestProfession: The "Secretary" is implied to be this. Her outfit is very revealing, and her office contains a bed, a stripper pole and some {{Dominatrix}} tools. She also speaks in a seductive way.

* OvercomplicatedMenuOrder: It's the point of the game to gather to the OvercomplicatedMenuOrder's of your customers.
* PaletteSwap: There is a bright green version of every customer type that provides special effects but costs green essence instead of money. Some of them use five customer slots and eat for free.
** Also, the cars in the game are palette swaps of each other, down to having the exact same license plate (with the exception of the taxis and the restaurant's cars, which have slightly altered models with different license plates).

* PlagueDoctor: One of the customer types is a PlagueDoctor, but the transformation imply that it's [[BirdPeople more than a costume]].

* PoliceAreUseless: Not only do police men eat in your restaurant and fall for your brainwashing like everybody else, one of their quotes is: "Need help? Help yourself."

* PromotedFanboy: In August of 2018, Tropers/{{Scythemantis}} wrote an article about the game on Website/{{Bogleech}}. When in February of 2019 the full version of the game was finally released, [[http://bogleech.tumblr.com/post/183274320063/oh-yeah-hey-so-ive-been-so-busy-lately-i-didnt it contained some text written by him]].
* RoboSpeak: The Accountant is able to speak completely normal, but fakes RoboSpeak so that nobody finds out he's a KillerRobot

* RoboticPsychopath: The Accountant sometimes talks about crushing all those filthy flesh-beings.
--> The destruction...themayhem...the hideous flesh-beings eating and eating until they explode...it's actually quite impressive. I did not hink I would ever be impressed by the deviousness of a lower being such as yourself.
* RobotNames: The Accountants real name is "Accountron 99XP50".
* TheRockStar: The punk type customers according to what they say.
* ScienceCocktail: The mercury machine produces these.
* SecretPolice: The trenchcoat-wearing customers state that they are SecretPolice.
* SexySecretary: You can buy one for real money. Her "office" implies that SleepingWithTheBoss is her main job.
* SicklyGreenGlow: The burgers have this and it gets stronger with every upgrade. The machine producing them is called "burger radiator" for a reason. The product of the Divine Burger Radiator, it's final stage, is just a block of green glowing material.
** The first customer type (which only eats burgers) also starts to glow more and more with each mutation. When they eat, they are happy that they don't need artificial light anymore.

* SingleTaskRobot: The Accountant only makes customers give you a tip with each order and does nothing else.
** This is a case of GameplayAndStorySegregation, as he is really a KillerRobot who poses as a RobotBuddy and claims to do [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin accounting]].

** Some of the tables you can buy are shaped like a UsefulNotes/GameBoy, UsefulNotes/PlayStation or UsefulNotes/NintendoDS.
** The whole setting may or may not have taken some clues from the [[Characters/AwfulHospitalBurgrrIncPersonnel Burgrr Inc.]] setting.
** The Divine Burger Radiator with its Xenomorph in PeopleJars seems to be a ShoutOut to Film/AlienResurrection.

** The FlavorText of the Szechuan Sauce calls it "A Legend". This is most likely a ShoutOut to WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty, which has a similar humor and art style and [[Recap/RickAndMortyS3E1TheRickshankRedemption a very prominent gag about Szechuan sauce]].
** Aside from the UsefulNotes/FlyingSpaghettiMonster customers mentioned under {{Expy}}, the monster is also depicted on the spaghetti machine.
** Franchise/DragonBall: While one of the customers looks like Android 18 on start, the completely black customers grow Super Sayan hair when they mutate.
** Not only does the cardboard container for the fries look exactly like the one from UsefulNotes/McDonalds, it even has the signature letter on it, just turned around to be a W instead of an M.
* SlayingMantis: The policemen-type customers evolve into giant mantises.
* SleepingWithTheBoss: Likely the main job of the "Secretary"
* {{Squick}}: Most of the food.
* StepfordSmiler: The player's advisor
* StickFigureAnimation: The final form of one of the customers is a stick figure.
* SuckECheeses: There are no animatronics (except maybe for the walking vendor machines), but it fits this trope pretty good.
* SuperSpeed: The effect of the Szechuan sauce
* SurferDude: The customers who turn invisible constantly talk about the beautiful beach and declare themselves the king of the beach. [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} There is no beach in the game.]]

* TestedOnHumans: One of the possible texts of the Agent:
--> An earth-book claims that the typical human body contains enough blood vessels to encircle this planet twice. Not so. Recent testing finds an average of only 1.95 times planetary circumference.
* TimeTravel: The BADPIE brings you customers from all over time and space.
** In a reference to the [[Literature/TheShadowOutOfTime source material]], the "Great race of Yith" type customers have a text snippet where they exclaim "This food will be shared accross time."
* TinCanRobot: The "accountant" you can by with real money.
* {{Transgender}} / {{Crossdresser}}: It's probably an oversight on the developers side, but even customers who appear female use the urinals in the restroom in the same way as male customers do.
** There's also one customer who starts out as a guy in normal clothing, but starts wearing FrenchMaid clothing after their first transformation. It's unclear if they are still biologically male.

* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Each type of customer has one or more of these, and it's up to the player to give them what they want.

* {{Unobtanium}}: This is one of the ingredients the MadScientist uses.

* UnsatisfiableCustomer: The plant type customers always complain about the disguisting food even while eating more and more of it. The crab people sometimes do it, too.
* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: None of the customers show any negative reaction to their mutations or those of their fellow customers. The only reactions are by the crabmen, who are happy that they can't type with claws and don't have to work anymore, and the normal guys who develop a SicklyGreenGlow, who are happy that they can now read in the dark.
** The monologues of the staff show that there are indeed customers who complain about the negative health effects, but the company just bribes law enforcement to face no charges.
* UnwillingRoboticization: One customer type slowly turns into a robot the more they eat.
* WaddlingHead: The plant creature customers in their final form
* WelcomeToCorneria: All customer-types have a limited range of texts that they say when they cannot get the food they want. Also, they sometimes talk while eating or getting food, also with a very limited range of texts.

* WreathedInFlames: This slowly happens to one type of customer as they mutate.

* YouALLLookFamiliar: There are 25 different customer types in the game and you can have as many customers of any type as you want. Every customer of the same type starts out with the same look and mutates in the same way.
** Also, the {{BurgerFool}}s on every counter look the same
** The only individual character models are the employees other than those on the counter and the guy with the TV.
* ZombieApocalypse: According to the machines description, the restaurant's genetically modified chickens are perfectly adapted to a ZombieApocalypse.

* BarbieDollAnatomy: All customers who loose their clothes when they mutate.

* ArabianNightsDays: One customer type wears a turban until their form becomes to monstrous to wear anything.

--> ''Finding what our customers want is our top mission. With BADPIE, we can tell our customers exactly what they want!''

--> Finding what our customers what (sic) is our top mission. With BADPIE, we can tell our customers exactly what they what (sic).

* BishonenLine: One customer type starts out as a fat guy in nerdy clothing, then turns into a fat person in a maid costume for several stages, befor their final transformation turns them into a [[spoiler:[[StickFigureAnimation stick figure]]]].

* AwesomeButImpractical: See GoodBadBug

* GoodBadBugs: For some reason, customers level up while the app isn't running, but they don't get forever satisfied. So everytime you start the app, all the customers who are about to be forever satisfied line up to buy their last meal. If you then terminate the app once a customer has bought their last meal, and then you start the app again, the customer will buy the meal again. You can repeat this forever to get the customer to buy way more than they are programmed to. Sadly, due to the mass of customers you have later in the game and the low costs for new ones, this is AwesomeButImpractical.
