The Mainland Kid, or "Shitty Day" Kid is a character encountered by Arthur Hastings in one of the Epilogue endings of We Happy Few.
Appearance[]
The Kid is a young child or teenager with ginger hair. He's seen wearing ragged grey clothing, and playing with a ball.
Events of We Happy Few[]
The boy appears in the after-credits of the game if Arthur chooses to Remember and leave Wellington Wells for good.
Once in the Mainland, Arthur is walking on a path in the woods, half-heartedly saying "Lovely day for it." to plants and rocks, convinced that he still can't help lying about things.
Arthur then runs into the kid, who he tries the same greeting with, only for the kid to tell him that it has been an awful, rainy day, which seems to restore Arthur's spirits, as he tells the Boy with a smile, "You're right. It has been rather a shit day."
Personality[]
The kid isn't particularly bothered seeing Arthur, a stranger, wandering through the forest, likely indicating there are other adults in the mainland relatively nearby. He's also very direct and matter of fact.
Trivia[]
- The Kid shares Percy's Model, though he wears different clothes.
- The Kid is simply referred to as the "Shitty Day Kid" in the credits and doesn't have an official name.
- Seeing the kid is extremely shocking to Arthur, as there have been no children born in Wellington Wells for over fifteen years, possibly giving Arthur hope that things will get better.
- It's possible that some of the children survived the destruction of the train, meaning Percy might be still alive.
