Hidetaka Suehiro, also known as Swery 65, has crafted some of the most memorable, bizarre titles in gaming, including Deadly Premonition and D4: Dark Dream Don’t Die. When he revealed his new game last month, titled THE MISSING: J.J. Macfield and the Island of Memories, he revealed that the game would be coming quite soon. Thanks to a new launch trailer for the game, we know exactly how soon; just a couple weeks.
Releasing for multiple platforms on October 10, THE MISSING is a 2D sidescrolling adventure. Judging by the trailer, it looks heavily inspired by death-heavy sidescrollers like Limbo and Little Nightmares, but with plenty of surreal Swery flare added for good measure.
As a novice independent game developer, I’ve always found Swery’s work experimental and inspiring, despite obvious rough edges. Even as a brief stopgap between his next big title The Good Life, I’m very much looking forward to THE MISSING, and can’t wait to get my hands on it.
You can take a look at THE MISSING‘s launch trailer down below, and read more on the game’s official website right here. THE MISSING launches October 10 on Playstation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
