'''Herbert vs. Happiness''' is a quest about what seems to be a man named Herbert who is locked inside some kind of ragdoll-like bodysuit. He is trapped in a facility for unknown reasons, with no memory from his life before it, though he seems to fantasize that he's the deposed king of France. He was treated well by the staff until one day they vanished and left him behind to die, so he breaks out of his room. But this soon turns out to be something far different from an asylum or a prison, as the monsters and machinery reveal. | '''Herbert vs. Happiness''' is a quest about what seems to be a man named Herbert who is locked inside some kind of ragdoll-like bodysuit.
