The Good Life will be crowd-funded, developed by Swery's new studio, White Owl. Assuming it's fully funded, it'll appear on PS4 and Steam.
The town's name (Rainy Woods) was the original name for Deadly Premonition, so there is likely some connection. It's about a town whose residents all turn into cats.
Ok, weird enough. He was writing a murder mystery from the perspective of a cat, so maybe there's a connection there, too.
Here is Swery's message:
"This game will inherit the spirit of Deadly Premonition, my most representative work, but it will also feature a brand new style of gameplay. It's a mystery game based on the framework of a 'daily life RPG.' I'm positive that the happiest town in the world and the most bizarre townspeople in the world will capture your heart and pull you deep into their world. Please support The Good Life and help us bring this game to life."

The game is set in Rainy Woods, the self-proclaimed "happiest town in the world." Here, you'll play as Naomi, a photographer from New York who finds herself stuck in this small town in rural England. She's found a way to pay off the massive debt she's accumulated, but she soon discovers that the town is hiding a very bizarre secret...
At night, all of the town's residents turn into cats.
