About this game

Happy Nuclear

Happy Nuclear is a challenging puzzle investigation game that tests your thinking skills. Players take on the role of a detective who becomes involved with a terrorist organization planning to destroy the world with nuclear bombs. You must use logic and problem-solving skills to investigate and stop this organization before it's too late.

Gameplay Mechanics

Players need to identify the culprits by piecing together incomplete information to reconstruct a complete picture of events at the crime scene. The game system feels similar to Sudoku, but instead of filling in numbers, you're creating movement patterns of suspects at the crime scene.
