The Good Life Gets Xbox Demo Today, Comes To Game Pass At Launch

The Good Life, the bizarre photography mystery game by Deadly Premonition mastermind Hidetaka “Swery” Suehiro and his team at White Owls, has a demo on Xbox Game Pass available now. The crowdfunded game recently got a release date of October 15 after several years of development and multiple delays. The demo is good news for those wary about the title after its bumpy development cycle, and Xbox fans can rest even easier knowing it’s launching to Game Pass on day one.

The Good Life stars Naomi, a New York photographer who visits the British town of Rainy Woods to investigate why it’s known as “the happiest place on Earth”. She needs a big scoop in order to repay a massive debt, and she gets more than she bargains for when she discovers Rainy Woods has an unusual secret: when the sun goes down, its residents transform into cats and dogs. You will need to take photographs and look for clues in order to solve this mystery. You’ll also work to repay your debt by taking odd jobs and saving money, which you can also use to source up your home and garden. It’s also possible to ride sheep, because who wouldn’t? 

The Good Life, in addition to Xbox 360, will also be coming to Switch and PC on PlayStation 4 and Switch. A demonstration will be also available at the Steam Next Festival, October 1.
