The mod author describes the Echoes of Joy in Cyberpunk 2077 as:

"Another one of my world-building mods that adds a series of deeply personal, handcrafted scenes across Night City — glimpses of happiness that feel out of place in a city built on greed, violence and survival. These moments are quiet. Sometimes painful. But they matter. You’ll find a homeless family gathered around a cake, celebrating their child’s eighth birthday with scraps and smiles. In Corpo Plaza, a simple memorial stands in honour of a hero. And behind Empathy, a disgraced exotic dancer no one wants to talk about anymore."

They continue:

"Each scene tells a story without words. Every detail has been placed with care, inviting you to slow down, look closer and feel something in a city that tries hard to make you feel nothing at all. This mod explores the idea that happiness can still exist in the lowest of places."

While we urge you to come across these scenes on your own, they can be found in the following locations (as provided by the mod author):

• Birthday Party: Behind a block of flats opposite Ferris Wheel.
• Picnic: The park near Corpo Plaza, where you do the monk side mission, is off a beaten path.
• Dancer: Behind Empathy.
• Memorial: Outside the NCPD hologram.

Cyberpunk 2077 is currently one of the best RPGs to play. Despite the game's disastrous launch, CD Projekt Red has managed to polish and refine the game to its current state. The developers are also currently working on its sequel, internally known as Project Orion.
