The Good Life

It's an absolute mess, as you'd probably expect from a Swery joint, with the familiar shortcomings when it comes to the technical details and lumpy writing. It's also got that same spark as the likes of Deadly Premonition, scruffily pushing at the limits of what's possible, as well as pushing beyond the limits of the team's technical abilities. Here's an adventure that's as confounding as it is charming, the small town of Rainy Woods always ready with a surprise or two.

Though technically rough and uneven, The Good Life is memorable and anything but predictable.

This is a shambolic RPG barely held together by an underutilised photography aspect and an entirely inconsequential shapeshifting ability, wrapped in the familiar trappings of a rural life simulator. The Good Life is tonally stupid, structurally broken, surprisingly deep and occasionally self-aware. It is a confusing and strange and mostly horrible experience, which I feel personally worse off having been through, but am somehow glad that I did.
