Dec. 2025
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.

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.

F...K in the coffee. Fantastic story in my opinion. But holy shit you better be prepared to deal with an absolute headache getting this game to be stable even with all the fixes that are out there. Make sure you back up your save, a lot.

Let’s get one thing straight right out of the gate: Deadly Premonition is not a good game. The controls are a crime. The combat feels like it was added two weeks before launch by someone who had only seen guns in movies. The driving mechanics? I have piloted shopping carts with better handling. The graphics range from “late PS2” to “why does the rain look like glitter glue?” And I love it. I love it. I don’t love it in a “so bad it’s good” way. I love it in a “this is art and I will protect it with my life” way. This game is magic. It’s Twin Peaks fanfiction filtered through espresso, surrealism, and budget-induced delirium. It’s awkward, charming, deeply broken, and somehow manages to be one of the most memorable experiences I’ve ever had in gaming. You play as FBI Special Agent Francis York Morgan—a man who talks to his imaginary friend “Zach” in the middle of conversations, ranks coffee on its emotional honesty, and casually comments on 80s horror movies while investigating brutal murders in a cursed forest town. And somehow? It works. The story is genuinely compelling. The characters are weirdos in the best way. And despite the technical mess, the game somehow manages moments of sincere beauty and emotional weight. Now, about my Steam playtime. It says like 3 hours. That’s a lie. That’s the Steam version being Steam. It crashed, froze, glitched out, and lost save data like it was part of a performance art piece. I played way more than that. At least 30 hours across reinstalls, alt-tabs, and weird workarounds. And I don’t regret a single second. Not even the time I got stuck in a wall. Twice. Is the game good? No. Is it great? Also no. Is it somehow essential? Absolutely. Deadly Premonition isn’t a game you play because it’s good. It’s a game you play because it stares into your soul, hands you a turkey sandwich with strawberry jam, and tells you to believe in the heart of the town. It’s terrible. It’s brilliant. I love it unconditionally. And if you don’t, that’s okay—Zach and I understand.
