It takes a certain tolerance
The best thing I can say about this game is that it runs on my PC without a hitch. The gun play, when there is some, is competent. Now, the reason I can't give this game more than 2 stars: I hate it. There are around 3 major tracks in the game that are played for every cutscene, and as a very story focused title Deadly Premonition has a lot of cutscenes and dialogue. The dialogue feels like it was written by a shut-in crime and supernatural-BS enthusiast. The fact that this game comes from a Japanese developer while being set in an American small town means there is a special kind of cringe added over the already questionable writing. Odd moments, like characters choosing to have a casual conversation in a storm rather than take those few extra steps to shelter, are jarring both for the apparent unconcern of the actors and the subjects they choose to discuss. There's an interesting layer of simulation in the way you interact with the world and perform mundane tasks. Unfortunately, some of these aspects, such as the driving, end up feeling as clunky as the writing. This game was made for a very specific audience. I bought it because I heard good things, it was on sale, and I didn't want to spoil the mystery. I've tried to get into it, but I just can't. Research this mess before you buy.
