While the story does have ties to the original Deadly Premonition, I wouldn’t go as far as to say it’s essential to know what happened. But fear not, SWERY’s quirky sense of humor and macabre are still more than present.
Rather than taking its inspiration from David Lynch’s masterpiece Twin Peaks like the first game, there is more than a smattering of True Detective similarities flying across the board. The ‘present’ offers a much tastier mystery for the most part only dished out in much smaller portions. Unfortunately, the story moves at a painfully glacial pace in the ‘past’ sections. We see him as he skateboards his way around Le Carre, a New Orleans-inspired town trying to solve the murder mystery he has had the good fortune of walking into. It shows Zach as his more iconic, coffee-loving, film-quoting, goofy self and asking everyone to call him “York”. This is set years after his reawakening in Deadly Premonition 1 and the years have clearly taken a toll on ol’ Zach. Should Have Stayed Hiddenĭeadly Premonition 2: A Blessing in Disguise sees Federal Agent Francis Zach Morgan being interrogated by two other federal agents while he is in a rather decrepit state. Two years later, it suddenly shadow dropped on Steam. Despite this reception, it was followed by the release of Deadly Premonition 2: A Blessing In Disguise in 2020 on Nintendo Switch. It ended up in a spotlight it was never designed for due to its quirky story and janky graphics. Deadly Premonition is one of those titles that has a real cult following but didn’t manage to avoid the ire of the AAA journalists.
