I was worried that, following Deadly Premonition's cult success, Swery65 would struggle with an all-new followup, perhaps trying too hard to be quirky, or otherwise failing to live up to the bizarre bar he set in the last outing. D4's opening episodes, however, have smoothly alleviated such fears - not only is it a competently made adventure game with solid motion controls and a crazy plot, it's also a great comedy action story that marries the macabre and the eccentric in a way that just feels so very natural.
Swery65 doesn't have to try. It's clear now that this insanity is just what he does, and he does it so damn well.

The infamous Hidetaka “SWERY” Suehiro, known for cult classics such as Deadly Premonition and D4, has had an eventful few weeks. After a failed Fig crowdfunding campaign in 2017, last month he came back swinging with a shiny new campaign, this time on Kickstarter – and, after a tense final few days, SWERY’s dream game was finally funded.
