Swery’s wise choice to issue a statement to admit his mistake in handling the trans narrative, but, not in regards to the game’s patchy visuals, tells us a lot about the game’s priorities.

The patch was implemented in early August, and also made some performance updates to relieve some, but not all, frame rate issues. We won’t dive into that controversy here because developer Swery has issued a statement resolving to issue a story patch to fix this representation.

In terms of narrative, it also had some controversy at its mishandling of its trans character, deadnaming her extensively and depicting the character in question in a generally tone deaf way. Animations are buggy and choppy, and the whole thing looks like it’s meant to run on the Nintendo GameCube without straining the hardware. The game’s technical performance struggles have been well documented - it often struggles to maintain a double-digit frame rate, especially in the game’s outdoor sections. But what’s really special about Deadly Premonition 2, and the reason that brings us here today, is that Deadly Premonition 2 plays like it doesn’t care whether or not you’re having any fun. It wears its surreal, Twin Peaks-esque absurdity on its sleeve, with a world full of idiosyncratic characters, grotesque boss fights, and a loopy sense of humor throughout. Deadly Premonition 2: A Blessing In Disguise, the long-awaited sequel to 2010’s cult hit Deadly Premonition (called Deadly Premonition: Origins in the Switch eShop), is a survival horror detective game that cuts back and forth between 20, as you follow FBI agent Francis York Morgan’s efforts to solve a mystery in the past and investigate the case’s strange reopening in the present.
