Crowdfunding for Swery’s New Game “The Good Life” Begins

Hidetaka “Swery65” Suehiro (Deadly Premoniton, D4: Dark Dreams Don’t Die) has launched the crowdfunding campaign for his debut game from his new White Owls studio: The Good Life.

The Fig campaign provides the full reveal of his mystery RPG, which he’s also likening to a “debt repayment life simulation RPG.” Knowing Swery, it could be a lot of things, or possibly all of these things. Featured above, you can view a new trailer for the game.

Swery is looking for $1.5 million in funding to develop the game for PC and PlayStation 4, in partnership with the Japanese studio Grounding (Crimson DragonPhantom Dust) and Camouflaj (Republique).


Here’s a rundown on the game:


Welcome to The Good Life. The game is set in Rainy Woods, the self-proclaimed “happiest town in the world.” Here, you’ll play as Naomi, a photographer from New York who finds herself stuck in this small town in rural England. She’s found a way to pay off the massive debt she’s accumulated, but she soon discovers that the town is hiding a very bizarre secret…

At night, all of the town’s residents turn into cats. Why does this happen? Is this why everyone in town is so happy? No one seems to remember what they do at night. Naomi is here to find out what’s going on in Rainy Woods.

The townspeople aren’t the only ones who get to roam around at night as a cat – Naomi does too! Once the sun sets, you’ll get to explore Rainy Woods and collect clues and important items connected to the events of the story. The town becomes a very different place at night, as certain secret paths, rooftops, and attics can only be accessed by cats. Take a peek at the campaign page for more gameplay details and be sure to leave your feedback in the comments! Also, we’ve lowered the minimum investment amount – Fig Game Shares for The Good Life will be $100 per share!
