Deadly Premonition
Weird is probably the best word to describe Deadly Premonition, but it really doesn’t do justice to this absolutely strange game. Taking serious inspiration from Twin Peaks, Deadly Premonition has you playing as an FBI Special Agent named Francis York Morgan, as he travels to the small town of Greenvale to investigate a serial killer.
Pretty much everything about Deadly Premonition is janky, from its awkward animations to the subpar shooting, but the game just oozes personality and charm out of every pore. Its story is a classic whodunnit tale, but Morgan himself is a bit of an unhinged individual, casting doubt and confusion through the entire game.
To solve the mystery you’ll need to travel around Greenvale and investigate crime scenes, and interview the absurdly weird residents.
There’s definitely a supernatural stint to everything, but Deadly Premonition has great characters and a strong detective-like story at its core.
