Back in February, Deadly Premonition director Hidetaka “Swery” Suehiro announced that he was working on a mysterious new project, titled The Missing. Now, six months later, the first handful of screenshots have been revealed.
The Missing (or The Missing: J.J. Macfield and the Island of Memories, as it’s more formally known) is being created in-house at Swery’s own studio White Owls, in conjunction with Arc System Works. Swery’s other project, English-village-sim-meets-murder-mystery The Good Life, is being co-developed by Yukio Futatsugi at Grounding Inc.
When Swery first teased The Missing earlier this year, he explained, in suitably enigmatic fashion, that the title had many meanings: “A missing person, someone who’s lost, or even something lost… Maybe it’s your loved one… or a place you belong.”
