SWERY’s The Good Life has been announced for Nintendo Switch during the Nintendo’s Indie World Showcase.
Developed by White Owls Inc. (SWERY’s own studio) along with Grounding Inc., The Good Life is described as a “debt repayment daily life RPG” on the game’s 2018 Kickstarter page.
The Nintendo Indie World Showcase (at 9:29), describes how the rural British town of Rainy Woods has a secret- everyone turns into a dog or cat at night. So can the player, allowing them to solve puzzles using the skills of their new forms.
Originally announced only for Windows PC (via Steam), PlayStation 4, and Xbox One; the official Kickstarter has been updated with information about the Nintendo Switch announcement.
While the Nintendo Switch launch will be simultaneous with other platforms, backers will be unable to receive the Nintendo Switch version as their Kickstarter reward.
“As much as we wanted to find a way to get backers to switch to Switch, this is not feasible for us in this instance.
All platform holders have their own processes, rules, and policies that we need to respect and take into account and what we can offer is limited by those parameters.
While we were able to find an option for backers to exchange their PlayStation codes to Xbox codes, this is not an option for the Nintendo Switch.
We always want to find as many ways as possible to offer the most flexibility to our backers, but were unable to do so this time, and we deeply apologize for it. We hope you all welcome the news nonetheless and understand we tried our best to accommodate your preferences to the best of our abilities.”
You can find an abridged rundown (via Kickstarter) below.
The Good Life is a debt repayment daily life RPG co-developed by SWERY’s White Owls Inc. and a development team led by Yukio Futatsugi, the creator of Panzer Dragoon and Phantom Dust.
