Stop us if you've heard this one before: a game where you take up the role of a photographer, but also possess the ability to transform into a cat and a dog. We doubt any of you butted in during that sentence because The Good Life is a PlayStation 4 title only the mind up Swery65 could properly envision. It's been doing the rounds for a while now, but developer White Owls has finally slapped a 15th October 2021 release date on it.
Accompanying the news is a trailer that goes heavy on the gameplay. We first see how the photography side of things works along with mining and riding a sheep. We told you this was a Swery game. Then footage shows how you can pee as one of man's best friends and scale walls as cats. This looks like a real weird one, alright.
"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."
Will you be playing The Good Life next month on PS4? Let us know in the comments below.

I hate the look of this, but I'm intrigued by the setup and gameplay.
I am interested too. Hope it runs well on all the consoles
….does it have a platinum?
I’m off work for a week from the 17th, so this shall be the game that I play!
I funded this on Kickstarter and I must say I am not disappointed. This looks exactly like the kind of weirdness I wanted from Swery.
Waiting to see professional & user reviews before making a judgement.
I really enjoyed Deadly Premonition in all its weird janky glory, but this game's whole premise and art style in particular just feels unappealing.
...Oh. So, I was wrong to think we'd be be playing as Tom and Barbara hosting dinner parties with Margo and Jerry in a 70s style house then... But at least there will be animals. Got that part right. Basically predicted the whole plot.
I feel like Sammy is 100% going to play this.
Can't say to anything Deadly Premonition-esque.
Hmmm, certainly. looks intriguing but what’s with the music? Sound like Stand By Me by Oasis with the notes in the wrong order! Again, though, intriguing …
