The original Deadly Premonition wrapped up many of my interests in one package: horror, mystery, bizarre and deep storytelling, a cohesive and immersive game world, production values that seem out of place and time, Twin Peaks and film references galore, and so much more.
It took the industry by storm in the ten years that followed, becoming an instant cult-classic, spawning a Director’s Cut re-release for three other platforms. The original Deadly Premonition soon became one of the most talked-about games that year for its vastly polarizing reception from reviewers. After taking the game home and starting it up for myself, I found myself in a world of strangeness, wonder, and familiarity - all at the same time.
No one had heard much about it before its sudden release, and I was intrigued enough by the idea of a new horror game alone that I went to pre-order it to make sure I got a copy. I remember a day back in early 2010 when I first heard buzz online about a new budget-priced horror game for the Xbox 360.
