Deadly Premonition

Deadly Premonition is a survival horror video game developed by Access Games for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Microsoft Windows. Set in the fictional, rural American town of Greenvale, Washington, the story follows FBI Special Agent Francis York Morgan as he investigates the murder of an eighteen-year-old woman, which bears similarities to a series of murders across the country. Deadly Premonition was originally released in 2010 for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3; the Xbox 360 version was published by Ignition Entertainment in North America, Marvelous Entertainment in Japan, and Rising Star Games in Europe. Marvelous Entertainment released the PlayStation 3 version exclusively in Japan. A director's cut edition for PlayStation 3 and Microsoft Windows was released worldwide by Rising Star Games in 2013. Deadly Premonition is a reboot of Access Games' earlier video game Rainy Woods. In production since 2004, Rainy Woods was cancelled soon after its debut at the 2007 convention Tokyo Game Show due to technical issues. Upon its release, Deadly Premonition received wildly varying critical reviews, eventually holding the Guinness World Record for the most critically polarizing survival horror game. It has since garnered a cult following and has been cited as an example of games as art.
