DEV Q&A – SWERY on D4: Dark Dreams Don’t Die

D4: Dark Dreams Don't Die divided some critics and fans, but similar to other games carrying the mark of SWERY, D4 enjoys a solid cult following and a treatment that not only demands attention, but commands it. SWERY's notorious blend of cinematic eccentricity and unique gameplay certainly leaves an impression, enough so that the Xbox overlords featured the game prominently in the consoles original reveal material.

Despite the initial announcement fanfare, D4 appeared out of nowhere onto the Xbox store, and some fans felt the game suffered under-promotion on the part of Microsoft.

D4 reviewed very well, despite an emphasis on the sometimes controversial Kinect motion controls. D4 is playable entirely using Kinect or controller, tasking you to guide Private Detective David Young through a thrilling supernatural mystery.

We caught up with SWERY of Access Games to discuss D4, future episodes, Kinect, and more in our latest dev Q&A.
