Playing as special agent Francis York Morgan (call him York – everyone else does), it’s your job to investigate the brutal murder of a young local beauty in the town of Greenvale. Amidst the backdrop of soaring mountains and a small American suburb, York must solve the mystery of the Red Seed Murders and stay alive in a place where supernatural creatures and a mysterious raincoat-clad, axe-wielding killer seek to end his investigation for good. Part suspense-filled horror, part action-adventure game, Deadly Premonition offers an open-world experience packed with locals to meet and places to discover, as well as numerous side quests and mini-games that will help you solve the murders and uncover Greenvale’s deepest, darkest secrets.

schizophrenic game sent from hell that makes you set the game to win98 compatibility mode and restart your pc everytime you boot it up so it doesn't run at 8fps

Listen. This port is garbage. Every port of this game is garbage, but every other iteration is more functional than this one on steam. Getting this variation of the game to work might actually be the hardest endeavor you ever take on in your life and if you set out on that path instead of getting any other port (switch is the most accessible) I wish you the best of luck because you are going to need it and then some. It can be done but it will take iron will.
The gameplay? Atrocious. The visuals? Hideous. The mechanics? Outdated. The controls? Oh brother. The story and characters? Worth every second of agony.
Greatest game of all time. A masterpiece. Literally went out and bought a functioning 360 so I could just play the original physical release I have because I couldn't deal with these broken ports anymore. A whole console for one game... find a way to play it. Suffer through the crashes if you must, or get any console port because it's better than this.
Deadly Premonition is the video game of all time, I fear. York you will always be famous

Leaving this review to say that you can prevent the game from crashing by setting the executable in Combatibility mode and set it to windows XP you do that by right clicking the Executable and then open properties. Also run the game from the folder. Havent finished the game yet but having fun with it ya know

Its janky missions, awful combat, and stiff controls end up feeling like part of the charm, wrapping a bargain-bin horror shell around a surprisingly tender story about grief, faith, and the quiet loneliness of a small country town.

Famous for being one of the best examples of a "cult game", Deadly Premonition is one I was very ready and keen to hate because, let's sumarize:
Visuals are trash. Sound design is broken. Presentation in general is lazy. Gameplay is awful. Mechanics are broken, but… I played it, I carried on and... even though I didnt finished I really respect what it tried to do and made me very interested in the story. So, what's happening here?
Well, the setting, atmosphere and writing are so, so good, so top notch that they single handedly carry this ♥♥♥♥♥♥ game on their shoulders. Characters are amazing, script is great and York is a FANTASTIC protagonist, completely crazy but very likeable, love him! And the story, even though it's wacky, has a lot of heart and genuinly touching moments.
The thing is... gameplay it's a damn slog, it's simply not fun enough, it's actually frustrating. I feel like if I carried on playing I would have started to hate the game itself, I know I was already starting to with that damn QTE double cam chase scene, jesus christ. But, like I said, the story is so fun I actually followed the rest of it on a playthrough on youtube. Man, it was really worth it!
I'm a huge Lynch and Twin Peaks fan, but I was not really a fan of how closely it tries to mimic it. When it does, it almost always feels like the quirkyness and wierdness of it all is forced and not genuine. Game works better when it does its own thing.
It works "well" on the Deck, but has a lots of bugs and crashes. A ♥♥♥♥♥♥ port for a "♥♥♥♥♥♥" game I guess. :D

The game is great! There's nothing else quite like it! It's like a Twin Peaks Inspired detective based immersive sim where you play as a strange FBI agent solving mysteries in a small town. It's free roaming but, the main missions are linear. Kinda reminds me of Heavy Rain except that you can drive around and shoot things and the story has a more supernatural bent. I'd have to detract some points because it crashes every now and then but, i'd still say to get the game on sale if it looks like something that interests you. It's frequently on sale for like 2 bucks and I can think of a lot worse ways to spend that amount of money.
