Game Premise
At the start of each session the Ministry of Happiness & Peace briefs you as a new fixer‑upper. The brief explains that citizens must be returned to a government‑approved condition by repairing limbs, closing wounds, removing unsavory marks, and ensuring they display the mandated smile.
The brief also warns that making too many mistakes may result in the player becoming the next subject of fixation, emphasizing the importance of following the Ministry’s instructions without deviation.
- Read the opening briefing carefully; it outlines the Ministry’s expectations.
- Keep the smile requirement in mind, since the Ministry stresses it above all else.
