Creator ofDeadly PremonitionandD4: Dark Dreams Don’t Die, Hidetaka Suehiro “Swery65” has revealedThe Good Life -DOGS-,a canine version of his original vision, that is now known asThe Good Life -CATS-.
The Good Life- Doge
Players will take on the role of Naomi, a New Yorker and a photographer who finds herself stuck in “Rainy Woods”, a backwoods town all the way, in rural England… For it’s the only way for her to pay off the massive debt she’s accumulated.
Lurking within the city are many bizarre secrets players will uncover, and one of them involves its townspeople turning into animals. So, depending on the version you buy, you and the towns citizens will either morph into cats, or dogs during nightfall.
Below, you can read Swery’s updated outline on the new development to get a better grasp on the entire concept:
We’re currently developing two versions of The Good Life: a cat version and a dog version. In The Good Life -CATS-, the townspeople turn into cats at night, and in The Good Life -DOGS-, the townspeople turn into dogs at night. Naomi will also turn into either a cat or a dog, depending on which version you buy. As a cat, she’ll be able to climb up to high spots and slip into cramped passages. As a dog, she’ll be able to dig holes and follow scent trails.
You won’t just have different abilities to use, you’ll also get to find different items, and the way you interact with the townspeople will also change. Some story beats may differ as well. The Good Life -CATS- is compatible with The Good Life -DOGS-. In online multiplayer, you’ll be able to turn into a cat or a dog and visit a friend or a stranger’s town. Multiplayer will allow you to jump into a whole new world separate from the version you own.
Become a cat and scratch posts and leave cricket corpses on your friend’s doorstep as presents. Or, become a dog and mark their doors with your urine and scare their sheep. There will be a bunch of creative ways to play tricks on each other! Which one will you choose?
