Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })I'll let you describe Deadly Premonition here, Zach.Greenvale. Just your typical unassuming small American town. Certainly not the kind of place you'd expect to find the mutilated body of a young girl, stripped and bound to a tree as if crucified, left to be found by two young boys.Francis York Morgan (just call him York, that's what everyone calls him) is an agent of the FBI with a special interest in murder cases involving young women. He works alone, save for the company of his invisible friend and confidant Zach (don't ask). Neither of them have seen anything quite like the events unfolding in Greenvale, and all of the horrendously-mutated monsters are a bit of a warning sign too.But even the best agent can't deduce anything without information, so York sets to work gathering clues and profiling the eclectic residents of Greenvale, any of whom may be the culprit behind the "Red Seed Murders". But as the bodies pile up, and York comes closer and closer to the truth, he begins to discover that the murders aren't as normal as they seem...Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })That's the basic gist of it. What that doesn't cover is the towns incredibly quirky citizens, and the mostly funny, always weird situations York finds himself in.Definitely does not resemble (or infringe upon the creative property of) Twin Peaks.Deadly Premonition is a game by Access Games, written and directed by Swery65, originally for the Xbox 360 (and PlayStation 3 in Japan, called Red Seeds Profile) released in 2010. An Updated Re-release "Deadly Premonition: The Directors Cut" for the PlayStation 3 (in all regions) was released in 2013, with Multiple Endings and other bonuses. It received a PC port via Steam later in 2013.A Nintendo Switch port was released in 2019 (under the name “Deadly Premonition: Origins”), alongside the announcement of a sequel titled Deadly Premonition 2: A Blessing In Disguise, which sees Swery returning as writer and director.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })See also D4, its Xbox One exclusive Spiritual Successor. | |

Anyone Can Die | |
| Deadly Premonition / Videogame / int_1237828f | comment |
Anyone Can Die: Anyone. It's scripted as to who dies when and where, but there's a reason you can backtrack to earlier chapters in this game; you wouldn't be able to get all the sidequests otherwise. In fact, it's possible to get all the sidequests done on one playthrough provided that you put off the story as long as possible. | |

Trailers Always Spoil | |
| Deadly Premonition / Videogame / int_143939c1 | comment |
Trailers Always Spoil: The trailer for the U.S. release flashes the identities of several victims as well as the endgame bosses and Big Bad. Despite being a trailer released in 2007, with many details removed, the "Rainy Woods" trailer showcases Becky's death. One of the Directors Cut trailers uses dialogue and footage from much later in the game, such as Thomas wearing a dress and acting as a villain and Zach's mother telling her husband to shoot him. | |

Unreliable Narrator | |
| Deadly Premonition / Videogame / int_1869b4b1 | comment |
Unreliable Narrator: Near the end of the game, you discover that not only has he been introducing himself as Francis Zach Morgan all this time, but he doesn't look like we thought he did. This explains why the townsfolk think Zach's scar is a big deal, when York seems to have only a few small cuts. Lampshaded by Lilly at the end of the game, when she asks "Who's York?" while talking to Zach. | |

Notice This | |
| Deadly Premonition / Videogame / int_20e2a53b | comment |
Notice This: Deadly Premonition leans more heavily upon this than most modern games — any object that can be interacted with has a huge glowing pool of light in front of it, whether it's a switch or an item to be collected. About the only thing that doesn't glow are doors (though plot-relevant doors will have a red pool of light in front of them). | |

Limited Wardrobe | |

Limited Wardrobe: Nearly all the NPCs wear only one outfit for the entire game regardless of time, location, or weather; the ones that do have different outfits change them only for plot reasons (Emily changing into a slinky black dress for dinner, the "goddesses of the forest" changing into red dresses, etc...). Averted with York, as you can have him wear any of a number of suits and have it reflected in the cutscenes. Played straight with Zach, who cannot change suits. | |

Alphabetical Theme Naming | |
| Deadly Premonition / Videogame / int_2f5b9954 | comment |
Alphabetical Theme Naming: With a few exceptions, the major citizens of Greenvale represent an entire alphabet. The case begins with the murder of Anna, which leads to the arrival of York and Zach, and everyone in between is a suspect. In case you miss it throughout the game, the end credits literally spell it out for you. With the exception of Thomas, every character vital to the plot is between A and H. All of the characters A through G die (except for Fiona), and Thomas is the only person outside that range who dies. The Ingram family are clustered together (Isaach and Isaiah, Jim, Keith and Lilly make I-J-K-L). Married couple Nick and Olivia Cormack are next to each other on the alphabet, as are father and son Quint and Richard Dunn. | |

Game-Breaking Bug | |
| Deadly Premonition / Videogame / int_33ca811a | comment |
Game-Breaking Bug: Replaying chapters before completing the game can cause important keys to disappear from your inventory, making it impossible to progress past certain points (such as in chapter 9 and chapter 23), as there's no way to get the keys again without restarting the game. | |

The Man Behind the Man | |
| Deadly Premonition / Videogame / int_3a1c2171 | comment |
When investigating Anna's murder site, York finds evidence of a small round object, later revealed to be a locket, that was gripped tightly by Anna, but removed from the scene. The search for this locket spans the entire game, as it passed hands through the other victims trying to keep it away from its original owner, the killer, who identifies it as proof that they're the Chosen One, linking it with a ritual to gain ultimate power. What makes it fit this trope is that, When York finally confronts Kaysen, Kaysen gleefully taunts that the locket and the ritual were nothing more than lies used to tempt the killer into committing the murders. | |

Bootstrapped Theme: The actual theme tune of the game? "The Woods and the Goddess," the title screen music. The song everyone actually associates with the game? "Life is Beautiful," AKA "The Whistling and Kazoos Song." For the Updated Re-release, Rising Star Games used "Life is Beautiful" for some of the promo material outright. | |

Stupidity Is the Only Option | |
| Deadly Premonition / Videogame / int_40680cf6 | comment |
Stupidity Is the Only Option: Very early on, York sees a particular sign in his coffee that gives away one of the final plot twists. The sign is "F.K." and York correctly guesses that this refers to Forrest Kaysen upon meeting him. He also lampshades that Kaysen is obviously hiding something, and Kaysen indeed turns out to be the game's main villain. However, if York were to take this sign more seriously, the game would be a lot shorter, and so this plot thread is pretty quickly dropped until the story needs to pick it back up. You can explore the graveyard pretty early in the game, long before it becomes relevant to the plot. It contains a large number of red trees that bear a striking resemblance to the saplings that Kaysen carries around, and the red seeds all over the ground are the same ones found on all the murder victims, not just in Greenvale but in cases all around the United States. However, York will not comment on or acknowledge this until you make your plot-mandated visit to the graveyard. He even lampshades it once you do finally get there, saying that it was right under his nose the whole time. | |

Bittersweet Ending: Mainly in the original. The case is finally resolved, but several characters are still dead including Emily and York. On the other hand, Zach is finally freed from the Red Room. More like Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence for York. It's still bittersweet, however. | |

Amazing Freaking Grace | |
| Deadly Premonition / Videogame / int_47bb1101 | comment |
The flashback sequence where you play as the original Raincoat Killer, is a semi-example. Two songs play, the first is Amazing Freaking Grace, which doesn't suit the chaos of the scene, but damn sure fits the tragedy of it. The soundtrack eventually changes to 'The Woods and the Goddess', which usually plays during tranquil scenes. | |

Leaning on the Fourth Wall | |
| Deadly Premonition / Videogame / int_4a3e547f | comment |
Leaning on the Fourth Wall: York mentions that his investigation technique involves dividing people into three categories: investigators, victims and suspects. Everyone else is just "vegetables known as 'other people'". This matches neatly game's division between important individuals and background characters you can't interact with. Until you learn a person's name, they are all labeled simply as "suspect". The way York talks to Zach often comes across like Zach is the player themselves. In a sense, he is, given that he's the actual Francis Morgan. | |

Long Song, Short Scene | |
| Deadly Premonition / Videogame / int_4cefd8a6 | comment |
Long Song, Short Scene: "Pillow Stain", which was in the original "Rainy Woods" trailer, can be heard nowhere else in the game but Thomas's apartment and in the Sound Test. The song "Crucial Moment" is an atmospheric string piece that only plays once when you find Thomas's badge in the Galaxy of Terror. However, you can easily miss it since a profiling segment starts immediately afterword, meaning you might only get to hear a few seconds of the song before you skip past it forever. The very beginning plays at other spots in the game as a suspenseful sting, but it's always cut off before the melody comes in. | |

Good Scars, Evil Scars | |
| Deadly Premonition / Videogame / int_4efc4fae | comment |
Good Scars, Evil Scars: York has a small scratch under his eye, and an older scar going through his left eyebrow and up his head (mostly all healed now). Zach has a much more heroic (and obvious) one down through his eye. George's back is riddled with them, which obscures the ONE tree-shaped back-scar York is looking for. George's facial scar also slowly becomes more pronounced with each murder, something most people don't realize until way after the game is over. | |

Going Through the Motions: George's compulsion for throwing his hands out in exasperation can seem threatening after a while. Emily's ability to pose with her hands on her hips even while sitting down is almost frightening. York sticks his finger up in the air and taps his tie so often that if a drinking game were to be based around them you'd have to make sure to use half-shots. When you talk to some people, they'll shove whatever they were holding into their back pocket, even if it's a large object like a broom or a jug. After talking to you, they'll proceed to remove it from their pocket and continue on with their business. | |

Not Using the "Z" Word: The zombie-ghost enemies aren't given a proper name. York simply refers to them as "Them," though some of the profiling photos of them call them "Shadows." This might just be because most characters never acknowledge the creatures' existence, let alone discuss them. George uses the zed word near the climax to refer to something not unlike the zombie-ghosts. | |

Disc-One Nuke | |
| Deadly Premonition / Videogame / int_5b81ca8d | comment |
Disc-One Nuke: It's possible to obtain an infinite-ammo SMG early on from a sidequest, making combat go by a lot faster. Even earlier than this, the infinite durability wrench can be obtained from a sidequest, which is far better than the initial pistol. Just as early as the wrench is the Legendary Guitar Grecotch. All you need to do is play the Lilly sidequest, complete the level, exit the game, replay the second chapter, rinse and repeat, and there you go. Now hard mode is a total cakewalk until the last level, which still isn't too hard. | |

Through the Eyes of Madness | |
| Deadly Premonition / Videogame / int_5d5cc3fd | comment |
Through the Eyes of Madness: One possible explanation for York's travels through the nightmare world. Also applies to the townsfolk of the past and the original Raincoat Killer who, affected by the purple fog, most likely saw each other as horrible monsters and were driven to slaughter. After the reveal that York is Zach's split personality and not the other way around, the townsfolk all call him Zach, as if it had always been that way. Not to mention the constant references to a very large scar, which York doesn't have, but Zack does. | |

Sequel Hook: Considering the fact that Willie (who is from the Red World) is still around, and the fact there's more than just one town with red trees. Don't forget that Swery said that there are "other agents of the Red Tree" like Kaysen... In at least one ending of the Director's Cut, York tells Zach about a series of strange reports in New Orleans of people losing control of their bodies. Zach disappears from his home, presumably to pursue this lead. | |

New Game+: You can replay any completed chapter with all your current inventory items intact. Considering certain sidequest givers die at certain points in the game, this kind of backtracking is vital. Ultimately subverted, as starting a new game will undo all of your progress, since you can have only one saved game. | |

Guide Dang It!: If you start "A Snack for Willie" (which can be done without even intending to) without all seven bones, you only get a regular item, as opposed to an infinite-ammo .357 magnum. The game gives you absolutely no reason to suspect this to be the case before or after the fact, making it easy for this item to be Permanently Missable. You get only one save file per game and reverting to an earlier chapter doesn't help, so it's permanent as soon as you save unless you restart completely. | |

Idiot Ball | |
| Deadly Premonition / Videogame / int_7286e96d | comment |
Idiot Ball: York near the very end, completely failing to notice the most obvious hints in the game that point to Kaysen's guilt as well as the "peace sign" being a tree. Possibly justified by the fact that Zach's mental block concerning Kaysen probably doesn't allow for clear thinking when he's involved. The game also forces you to hold it during your visit to the graveyard, if you go before the plot forces you to. York simply refuses to comment on the large amount of red seeds and red trees you can find there, mostly because investigating this properly would make the case a lot shorter. | |

Point of No Return | |
| Deadly Premonition / Videogame / int_7ae4d273 | comment |
Point of No Return: The game warns you about it before you walk through the door to the final battle, but without going back to previous chapters, the actual point is going to Harry's mansion with the Raincoat Killer files, after which the game becomes strictly linear and you will not be able to deviate from the plot until the epilogue, much later. | |

| Deadly Premonition / Videogame / int_813afa05 | comment |
Defiled Forever: A played straight undercurrent of one of the cutscenes with Emily preempting the final fight with Kaysen. Present mostly in ambiguous dialogue and in Emily's condition (being mostly undressed and having a Red Tree sapling inside her abdomen). Subverted in that Zach still considers her beautiful, that she manages to pull the tree out herself, and that she lives on happily with York in the afterlife. | |

Attack Its Weak Point: George can only be hurt by attacking the scars on his back; Kaysen's third phase can only be hurt by attacking the doll of himself. It's harder to hit than the one previously mentioned, but George's facial scar is also a usable weak spot to damage him through. | |

Humanoid Abomination: Judging by his dialogue and mutations, either Forrest Kaysen was never human to begin with and just spreads violence and chaos For the Evulz, or he's been alive for a very, very long time, to the point where he no longer sees himself as human and just spreads violence and chaos For the Evulz. If you attempt to kill him at the wrong time he will mention that he was "always more than human", and is "A messenger from the Red World". | |

Insurmountable Waist-Height Fence: Played straighter than straight. You can't stray off of clearly marked paths in forest areas, even with a car.

"Blind Idiot" Translation: Just one instance, but a very glaring one. Examining a certain painting will have York note that it has a blue apple on it, while the player can clearly see it is green on the graphics, and as the color is relevant to a puzzle, it is very obvious it is supposed to be green. This mistake most likely comes from that Japanese uses the same word (ao) to mean both blue and green, with the specific color deduced from the context (obviously no one would claim the grass is blue and the sky is green). | |

Greater-Scope Villain: Forrest Kaysen. He technically has no direct involvement in Greenvale's murders, but he enabled it through George, and by the time you confront him, the whole conflict has grown from a small countryside killing spree to an evil conspiracy of interdimensional scope. There's also the Red Tree, the physical origin of the red seeds. Forrest is supposedly one of its emissaries, which implies it's a sentient being. Likewise, Kaysen's dog, Willie, is actually Kaysen's handler, and the messenger between Kaysen and the Red Tree. | |

Belated Happy Ending | |
| Deadly Premonition / Videogame / int_9bc66bb1 | comment |
Belated Happy Ending: In the original release, only Francis York got a truly happy ending; Francis Zach's fate was left hanging, and was much more open-ended, ambiguous, and melancholy. In the Director's Cut, however, he gets an unambiguously happy ending: It reveals that he gets married and has a family, eventually having an adorable granddaughter named Louise whom he has a close relationship with. York was Always With Him and watched over him his whole life, even when they couldn't speak, and after living a long and fulfilling life, he ascends to the Woods of the Goddesses to finally be reunited with his two best friends... and to once again join York in investigating Red World-related mysteries, this time presumably as a divine protector just like the Goddesses. | |

American Kirby Is Hardcore: While the Japanese version◊ gives you an honest idea of what to expect with a clear shot of York and a preview of the Profiling mechanic, the American boxart◊ is more suggestive of a Darker and Edgier game. Considering how much York adores old B-movies, this is unintentionally fitting. | |

Foreshadowing | |
| Deadly Premonition / Videogame / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: Being based on Twin Peaks, this game is chock full of it. The foreshadowing begins in the very first chapter, in the very first room, where you have to examine a number of items to proceed. All of them are appear irrelevant... until you begin the final boss fight and recall that one was a doll of a fat man. The final boss, which is a horrific version of Forrest Kaysen (the man represented by the doll), actually has the doll in his hands, and it's his weakpoint. One of the very first scenes in the game hints that something is wrong about George through the music. Once George is introduced and his name is shown, the music turns dark and somber. He's the killer. Similarly, during the very same scene, soothing music plays while Emily is being introduced. Considering George seems like a bit of a jerk and Emily seems nice, it's not too odd. However shortly after, the dark and somber music is reused during Thomas' whimsical introduction and doesn't fit the scene... except for the fact he is also involved in the murders and working with George. York's very first profiling sequence rapidly flashes forward throughout the entire game and contains some images that are quite significant and spoilertastic when you know to look out for them, including shots of both Becky and Diane's deaths, Zach's dead mother with the sprout growing out of her belly, and the scene where Emily is united with the other victims. Perhaps the most damning piece of foreshadowing, that is probably the most easily overlooked, is the glimpse of several red raincoats you can find in the police station storage room. Also, if you look closely, you'll notice that George's scar gradually becomes more open and featured with each murder. The game even calls attention to this on your second trip to the museum - York notes that "something's different" about George, but he brushes it off as having a little alcohol. "The excessive loss of blood from her internal organs is what actually killed her", as the camera pans onto a squirming Emily... When York was talking about the Sinner's Sandwich, he said that Mr. Stewart was atoning for his past sins. During one scene, York has dinner with Thomas, George and Emily. He says something that seems unimportant during a first playthrough but it's clear foreshadowing once examined closer after repeated playthroughs. York mentions that the killer is probably having dinner right now as well. And he is. Because the killer is George. Thomas is also involved in the murders, too. Gameplay mechanics are responsible for this one. It's possible to, through the in-game map, see where all the Non Player Characters are at any given moment. At some points during the story the player can see that George is in the Galaxy of Terror, but is nowhere to be seen once you enter, meaning he's in the bar's secret room, which is opened up later in the game and contains some evidence involving George with the murders. Also, after visiting the Lumber Mill, George claims he is tired and is going home, but he can be spotted wandering around the Greenvale forest at night instead. Blatant foreshadowing, but there is something in Harry's Mansion. A large image depicting 'The Goddesses of the Forest' and observing it does indicate they look familiar. They are Anna, Becky, Carol, Diane and Emily, the last who is also wearing a black dress and not a red one. And one other, who looks remarkably like Thomas on second glance. It's flat out talked about when entering Harry's Mansion in Chapter 18, but visible before this moment. One of the murder victims, Becky, slowly points her hand in George’s direction just before she throws up the safe key and dies. This also explains why George rushes to try to "save her"; he was finishing the job. George has a red tree in his front yard. Once you realize it is there, it sticks out like a sore thumb. His license plate is also a giveaway, and during one scene the camera actually focuses on it for a second. His house is also the only one in Greenvale you can't peek into. The Sheriff Station also has a red tree. George is the sheriff. Similarly (and somewhat bizarrely), just before the town meeting starts York mentions only being on stage once in elementary school, in the "tough role" of a bright red tree. The murder victim names start the alphabet. Anna, Becky, Carol, Diane and finally Emily. It would not be important if there was only one character per letter, except for "I" which has two characters (and they are identical twins Isaac and Isaaiah). Also, all of these characters are female. The game makes a big deal about the victims being all female. Who comes right after Emily? Forrest, who is the first male character and also heavily involved with the current situation. Right from the start, we are told the initials of the one behind it all: "F.K... in the coffee!" Just after meeting Diane, York tells Zach that she will likely lead him to the killer. He then looks up and sees Kaysen in her office. During one of the "coffee fortune" scenes, York tells Zach that a colleague of his once had his hair turn completely white from stress. The colleague is in fact Zach himself. While incredibly funny at first, George's logic about going to Velvet Falls to find lost files that are important to the case, saying that if they don't find them, they'll become more powerful, becomes more meaningful near the endgame. George has a very big obsession with "power", due to his mother beating him with branches when he was younger. invoked This little exchange after the death of Diane becomes very much Harsher in Hindsight: The non-Japanese title to the game, referring to the fact that the coffee tells York the initials of the killer, hence, a deadly premonition. York is told that his scar is the talk of the town. While York's scar is nothing to write home about, Zach's is quite impressive. There's a jolly fat man amongst the soldiers in Harry's flashback story. His mask doesn't cover enough of his face if you look carefully, and there's a potted sapling on a crate nearby. This is before he's properly revealed during the original Raincoat Killer sequence. York's response to Emily meeting him all dolled-up is to say she's "already a goddess of the forest." No, York, but she will be by the end of the game. In the Other World version of Harry's mansion, Brian Xander Morgan gives his speech about having to kill someone you love... while pointing his gun at a hallucinated Emily. During Anna's autopsy, There's a surprisingly long POV shot of George staring at Anna's body. When York is examining Anna's body he says: "George, the perpetrator is just like you." It is George. Very noticeable on the second playthrough, impossible to notice in the first go: When you first meet George and Emily, George says that 'you don't have to be a TREE WORSHIPPER' to like Greenvale. During Anna's autopsy, Ushah theorizes that the killer has a deep traumatized past concerning women, can't converse with them normally, and is either lonely or a hardcore sadist. Though York tells Ushah to leave the criminal profiling out of his analysis, these all end up being accurate descriptions of the killer: George (horrifically beaten by his mother, has nothing but dysfunctional relationships with the women (and woman-like man) in his life, harbors an unrequited crush on Emily, and is the leader of a depraved sex cult implied to be sadomasochistic in nature). The details on Thomas's trading card include the line "Hates dogs." When Emily fights him in the clock tower, Willie's intervention causes his death. York is introduced sharing his theory that Tom and Jerry are actually living in a codependent, sadomasochistic relationship. When he meets Thomas (which is the typical unshortened version of "Tom", for good measure), he describes his contrast with George as "almost a good setup for a cartoon". | |

The Dog Was the Mastermind: Forrest Kaysen, the giddy tree salesman, is actually some sort of otherworldy demonic entity that's been literally planting seeds of chaos through Greenvale. Also, this is done literally with Kaysen's dog, who has been relaying orders to his "owner" from the Red World, a kind of alternate, hellish dimension. Seriously. | |

Respawning Enemies: A few missions have sections where one or two enemies respawn endlessly until you complete some task or just leave the area. Ranges from frustrating to just puzzling (with the exception of the very first mission, which turns it into That One Level due to the amount of frustration it introduces to someone unfamiliar with the rest of the game). | |

Nerves of Steel | |
| Deadly Premonition / Videogame / int_a1b76006 | comment |
Nerves of Steel: York most definitely has these. Milder situations include waking up from what seems, by all accounts, to be a standard Catapult Nightmare with nothing more than a small sigh and staring down crowds of monsters with a wry grin. Truly amazing examples include chatting idly with Zach when he is captured by Thomas after he knocks him out, and shrugging off the penultimate boss's Freudian Excuse with a few well-placed wisecracks. Which, being Zach's alter ego created to protect him from harm, makes perfect sense. | |

York is a secondary personality created to protect Zach from psychological harm during a childhood incident. This is, in fact, one of the only reasons split personalities are developed in Real Life. While that is true, it goes back into artistic liberty, as people with DID (Dissociative Identity Disorder) cannot communicate directly with their other personalities; but this is the entire premise between Zach and York. Granted, some degree of magic is involved in this case. | |

Soundtrack Dissonance: Serial killers? Gruesome murders? Time for wacky whistling! The flashback sequence where you play as the original Raincoat Killer, is a semi-example. Two songs play, the first is Amazing Freaking Grace, which doesn't suit the chaos of the scene, but damn sure fits the tragedy of it. The soundtrack eventually changes to 'The Woods and the Goddess', which usually plays during tranquil scenes. | |

Town with a Dark Secret: In the past Greenvale was the site for government experiments that drove the townsfolk into murderous frenzies. There are also the incidents York is told about when buying the spiritual maps. They involve a man who accidentally ran his girlfriend down with his car, a crew of miners who were burned alive in what was likely a mass murder by the mine foreman and a girl who is implied to have committed suicide by throwing herself in a water turbine. They all seem like just an average bunch of ghost stories until York actually visits the locations himself and finds out that they really are haunted. | |

Fast-Forward Mechanic: York can smoke cigarettes to make time pass more quickly. Also, any bed will allow him to sleep for three, six, nine, or twelve hours at a time. The amount of time you let pass will take its toll on your hunger, though. | |

Non-Player Character | |
| Deadly Premonition / Videogame / int_bb9e6960 | comment |
Gameplay mechanics are responsible for this one. It's possible to, through the in-game map, see where all the Non Player Characters are at any given moment. At some points during the story the player can see that George is in the Galaxy of Terror, but is nowhere to be seen once you enter, meaning he's in the bar's secret room, which is opened up later in the game and contains some evidence involving George with the murders. Also, after visiting the Lumber Mill, George claims he is tired and is going home, but he can be spotted wandering around the Greenvale forest at night instead. | |

Mind Screw: How much of the action sequences were actually real? Were the enemies civilians who had been caught in the rain, ghosts of the original victims, or figments of York's imagination? Why could Emily see them? How much of Harry's story was true? Was the military really responsible, or was Kaysen acting alone? Why was Kaysen in the military at all? Did the final boss fight even happen? Why does everyone intuitively know to call you Zach after The Reveal? Does that mean that you only thought you were calling yourself York? Why can Isaach and Isaiah see dead people? Why were they in the Red Room? What was the Red Room? Why did Kaysen know about it? What did he mean when he said that he was from the "Red World?" With the new scenes in the Director's Cut it could be that "Grandpa Zach" was dressing the story up a bit and that most of the Red World stuff didn't happen. And to a lesser extent, SWERY's graphic on his director's blog that points out that Greenvale's borders are the outline of a dog... specifically, Willie. | |

Non-Standard Game Over | |
| Deadly Premonition / Videogame / int_c03fec8b | comment |
Non-Standard Game Over: In the lumber mill or the Museum, failing to solve the tree-of-hands puzzle will lead to York going Laughing Mad. Alternatively , killing any townsfolk before entering the theatre or choosing to give up if you make the wrong choice before fighting Kaysen will also result in this scene. If you decide to have Zach kill himself or shoot Forrest Kaysen rather than (attempt) to Mercy Kill a begging Emily, you're treated to York telling you that you made the wrong choice with a shriveled up Emily with parts of the red tree that Kaysen planted sticking out from her. | |

Shout-Out: York name-drops many old movies and bands during his car rides with Zach. The whole game is a big one to Twin Peaks. Psycho gets a good one when York finds George's dead mother in the basement. George has two dumbbells - named Arnold and Sylvester. Spy Fiction, SWERY's directorial debut, is referenced via Keith's "Back in the Hole" jacket and Emily's vanity plate. The logo for "the pickles" is the same as the logo for The Pillows. | |

Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane: For the majority of the game, it is questionable whether York is actually psychic or just getting hallucinations and talking to himself. The combat segments are clearly not occurring in reality, and his first premonition, "FK" in the coffee, seems to go nowhere. However, this is clarified in Chapter 17, when he divines the location of the files from his coffee cup, something that unambiguously clarifies his abilities as supernatural | |

Nothing Is Scarier: York talks about his previous cases involving extremely grisly and twisted murders without the slightest hint of unease. But there is one case he discusses with Zach where he just ends it by saying he doesn't even want to think of what he saw. Given the things he can easily stomach, one can only imagine what this very, very bad stuff might have been. | |

Take Your Time | |
| Deadly Premonition / Videogame / int_cfd569ac | comment |
Take Your Time: Play darts, go fishing, stare into coffee, and do whatever. Just remember to get back to the investigation at some point. Amusingly, though, if you're driving with the local law enforcement, they expect you to go straight to the next plot point and if you fail to do so, they give York a severe tongue-lashing while York basically shrugs and says "I had stuff to do." You have the ability to sleep in some of the dungeons in the game, which is a cost-effective way of restoring your health, and you'll usually see an infinite supply of lollipops nearby to keep yourself from going hungry. Time is meaningless in the Dark World, however, as you can see from your clock and the "clean time" on your suits. For people who aren't in the Dark World, it probably appears that York is just gone for a few minutes. | |

Red Herring | |
| Deadly Premonition / Videogame / int_dbca2c99 | comment |
Red Herring During the very beginning of the game, York casually mentions being scratched by a hysterical woman on a recent case. This is to cause you to assume that the townsfolk are simply spreading rumors over the little mark on your cheek, when in fact they're talking about the much more dramatic scar sported by Zach. At one point Michael blocks you from getting to Harry while doing the RK's trademark finger-wag, while the killer's theme plays. It has no relevance whatsoever. Another big one would be The General. He asks you to visit him so he can tell you about the story of the Raincoat Killer, and he's one of the few people in town who's old enough to have been around during the incident. In fact, being a soldier, he was likely standing on that clock tower gassing the town with the others. Instead, when you get to him, he just tells you war stories from 'Nam. Once you finish his sidequest line, York even lampshades it, stating that he doesn't think Lysander actually knows anything about the Raincoat Killer. When investigating Anna's murder site, York finds evidence of a small round object, later revealed to be a locket, that was gripped tightly by Anna, but removed from the scene. The search for this locket spans the entire game, as it passed hands through the other victims trying to keep it away from its original owner, the killer, who identifies it as proof that they're the Chosen One, linking it with a ritual to gain ultimate power. What makes it fit this trope is that, When York finally confronts Kaysen, Kaysen gleefully taunts that the locket and the ritual were nothing more than lies used to tempt the killer into committing the murders. | |

Updated Re-release | |
| Deadly Premonition / Videogame / int_df1793de | comment |
Updated Re-release: The Directors Cut is supposed to add new endings and story content, a narrator to explain the story more adequately, HD and Move support, and slight playstyle changes (no tank controls, the camera has much wider range, and slightly fixing the shooting controls) presumably meant to fix complaints. The graphics don't seem to have gone through any significant change aside from the removal of the green filter present in the original release. | |

Expy: York bears more than a passing resemblance to Agent Dale Cooper, quirky mannerisms and all. Several of the other townsfolk have passing resemblance to characters from Twin Peaks. Thomas is Andrew the Sheriff's deputy. Quint is Bobby with elements of James. Becky is Donna. Forrest Kaysen is directly imported from a previous Swery game, Spy Fiction. There, though, he was a scientist based off of Dennis Nedry in Jurassic Park. | |

Insistent Terminology: The men of the Morgan family seem to identify mainly by their middle name, since not only is York rarely called Francis, his father Brian Xander Morgan is mostly known as Xander (and even calls his son by his middle name). The Director's Cut implies that every member of the Morgan family carries on this tradition, as the full name of Zach's granddaughter is revealed to be Michelle Louise Morgan, but her mother simply calls her Louise. | |

Railroading: While you have a generally lax schedule (see Take Your Time below) for much of the game, there are points where you immediately have to go to a target, usually by car, which won't allow you to get out of them, and even give you unlimited gas and make your car completely invulnerable, almost as if they wanted to make sure you don't try anything funny. After discovering Thomas is likely a criminal, the game becomes much more linear, with red vines stopping you from fully exploring. | |

Useless Useful Stealth: York can hold his breath to temporarily become invisible to the enemies.

Diving Save: York employs this to rescue Diane who's hanging from the ceiling of the Muses Gallery. And then George renders said rescue useless. | |

Shown Their Work: The monkeys-for-squirrels sound effect mentioned above notwithstanding, this game does get a lot of visual details for Smalltown, USA right. One of the post-game bonuses is looking at all the photographs the developers took of rural US areas to get the right appearance for diners, streets, people and so on. York is a secondary personality created to protect Zach from psychological harm during a childhood incident. This is, in fact, one of the only reasons split personalities are developed in Real Life. While that is true, it goes back into artistic liberty, as people with DID (Dissociative Identity Disorder) cannot communicate directly with their other personalities; but this is the entire premise between Zach and York. Granted, some degree of magic is involved in this case. | |
