The Good Life is delayed to fall 2021 beyond its planned summer 2021 release, alongside the news that Playism is now the publisher over former publisher The Irregular Corporation.
When The Good Life launches it will be available across Windows PC (via Steam), Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PlayStation 4. The game has a price point set to $29.99.
Here’s a new trailer:
While The Good Life is delayed to fall 2021, the game was originally intended to release in Q4 of 2019 and pushed back to the spring of 2020. The game was then pushed back again from the spring of 2020 to what was the final speculative release date of summer 2021.
Here’s a rundown of the game:
Welcome to Rainy Woods!
Naomi Hayward finds herself far from her New York home. Out of her depth and drowning in debt, she is commissioned by The Morning Bell newspaper to uncover the mystery behind Rainy Woods – a rural English town considered to be the ‘happiest in the world’. With her camera at the ready she starts her investigation but soon finds that the town – and its wonderfully quirky residents – are hiding many secrets. Not least, why they transform into cats and dogs at night. Caught up in the town’s enchantment – Naomi must use her new found animal skills to uncover the truth about Rainy Woods.
Put Your Photography Skills to the Test!
Use your camera to get to the bottom of Rainy Woods’ mystery by taking photographs for The Morning Bell newspaper to complete commissions. They’ll pay you for your trouble but it seems you have a large debt outstanding already. Perhaps it is easier to take photos capturing the hottest trends on social app Flamingo to satisfy your fans? That ought to earn you a pretty penny and help you chip away at your debt.
Transform, Traverse and Track
Transform into a cat or dog in order to unlock and use unique skills! Expand your area of exploration as you jump and climb nimbly around town as a cat. Or track down villagers with your keen canine sense of smell.
A Delicate Balancing Act…
Your earnings from commissions, Flamingo and part-time jobs around town will provide you a decent living. Why not delve into the delights of Rainy Woods? Grow vegetables in your garden? Expand your cooking repertoire? Explore the wilderness? Join the locals for a drink at the pub? Or help them out and get to know them a little bit better. The days are yours to fill with whatever you please, but remember – cultivating a good life is a balancing act!
Get Out There and Explore!
See what Rainy Woods has to offer! Set out to explore the surrounding landscapes, unlock waystones and camp sites to expand how far you can travel – or perhaps just riding a sheep across the rolling hills will bring you the most joy!
