It was released by Hidetaka “Swery” Suehiro, the Fig campaign for its new upcoming RPG, The Good Life. It is seeking $1.5 million in funding. The game is planned for release on PlayStation 4 and PC via Steam, and developed in partnership with Grounding (Crimson Dragon, Phantom Dust) and Camouflaj (Republique).
Check out the PAX West trailer of The Good Life, featuring some pre-alpha footage:
“Welcome to Rainy Woods, the happiest town in the world. Here, you’ll play as Naomi, a photographer from New York who has found herself in this rural English town, working to pay off the massive debt she’s accumulated. This is The Good Life, a mystery RPG by SWERY (Hidetaka Suehiro), the creator of the cult classics, Deadly Premonition and D4: Dark Dreams Don’t Die.
Naomi soon discovers Rainy Woods’ bizarre secret – once the sun goes down, the residents all turn into cats… but why? When morning comes, they lose all memories of their feline adventures. What could be causing all of this?
The townspeople don’t get to have all the fun, Naomi becomes a cat at night too! You’ll be able to freely run around town, hunt for mice, bugs, and fish, and find important items connected to story events. Certain areas of the game can only be accessed by cats, so you can explore a totally different Rainy Woods at night.”
