SWERY, the creative mind behind memorably bizarre and haunting experiences such as Deadly Premonition and D4: Dark Dreams Don’t Die, has announced his return to the game industry alongside the opening of his new studio, White Owls. Last year, SWERY announced his departure from his then-workplace Access Games (following a break from the game industry due to health reasons), thus leaving the episodic story of Dark Dreams Don’t Die unfinished. Not all was lost, however, as even back then, SWERY was hinting at something new and exciting to come in the future.
With the founding of White Owls – named after the animal’s status as a symbol of wisdom – fans of SWERY’s unique brand of the bizarre have much to look forward to, and our answer to the official site’s question “Do You Need More Weird Content?” is a resounding yes. It is also worth noting that White Owls aims to focus not only on video games, but a variety of other fields, including books and VR. Either way, we eagerly await whatever it is SWERY and his studio decide to bring us next.
