After some uncertainty over whether The Good Life would be coming to Xbox Game Pass, developer White Owls has confirmed it will be hitting the service day one on October 15 for Xbox One, Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S. There's also a free demo available on the Microsoft Store for all players to try out now.
The strange title comes from Hidetaka Suehiro, the mind behind the absolutely bonkers Deadly Premonition series. As for the demo, you'll get to peek behind the curtain of the suburban town you'll be able to explore ahead of its full release, getting a taste of the mystery that surrounds it all.
Expect a lot of surprises.
Key Features:
- Explore the vast and sprawling town of Rainy Woods
- Take photos to repay your debt
- Unlock and try out new recipes
- Plant, grow and harvest your own crops
- Discover new clothing and other items
- Save up money and renovate your house and garden(!)
- Investigate a murder while riding a sheep(?!)
The game's being penned as a "bizarre experience that will keep players hooked until the very end". Judging by Suehiro's previous work, we don't doubt that for a single second.

I am so oddly excited for this game. I'm 100% certain it'll be my game of the year hahah. Not even joking
Wow this looks like.... A pass
I had the absolute pleasure of meeting him in person several years ago. He was incredible nice and kind, really made an impression on me. Anyway, I will definitely give it a shot. Also, is he not going by SWERY anymore?
Will it have Felicity Kendall and Richard Briers in it? sorry couldn't resist.

@BBB @TC2020 @TheLastjedi2007 🤣👍
For a second I got excited, then I realised this is nothing to do with the old TV show and thus will not have Felicity Kendals bottom rendered digitally.
Wow….. that looks nuts! It kind of reminds me of Persona 4 in that it starts out with what seems like a normal game and then takes a sharp turn into the very strange.
I have been playing the demo, is quite fun it's a cross between my sims and animal crossing. It's a good game
