They’re all wonderful characters with so much personality packed into each and every one of them.Deadly Premonition known as ( Red Seeds Profile レッドシーズプロファイル Reddo Shīzu Purofairu) in Japan, is a psychological horror video game developed by Access Games for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 and published by Ignition Entertainment in North America, Marvelous Entertainment in Japan and Rising Star Games in Europe. Stewart, the creepy, quiet, gas mask-wearing man and Michael who talks for him Polly, the kind old hotel owner who is hard of hearing Thomas, the shy police assistant who is great at cooking and knows a lot about squirrels Kaysen, the friendly traveling plant salesman who has a cool pet dalmatian Isaach and Isaiah, the creepy-cute twins Nick, the art-loving cook who is very quick to anger Lysander, the “general” who wears a sergeant’s uniform and even “Roaming” Sigourney, the crazy old lady who is always lost and carrying a pot around. I was actually surprised when I got to the end of the game and realized I only talked to her twice, because it almost felt like it was setting her up to be more crucial to the plot.Īnd I could say the same for just about every other character. She could have easily just been another random NPC with no personality, but they fleshed her out and made her seem important. York really only has to talk to her once or twice during the entire game, but in that small amount of time I learned that she likes reading best-selling books, she’s studying for a medical exam, and she has a crush on the hunky doctor she works with. Take the hospital receptionist, Fiona, for example. It made me laugh, but ultimately the little bugs were too distracting, so I had to get rid of them. Who would have guessed? After I found this out, I honestly considered staying in my dirty pink suit for the rest of the game anyway, just because of how hilarious all of the cutscenes were with a horde of flies swarming around York during serious moments. Apparently, York’s clothing gets dirty over time, so he needs to get his suits dry cleaned every now and then to stay fresh and keep the flies away.

I had to resort to looking it up online, because I was seriously confused.

I thought, “Okay, now this is getting ridiculous! What is the deal with these flies?!” Only none of the characters were reacting to them. Soon the flies began to multiply, to the point where York was holding a town meeting amid a veritable swarm of insects. Maybe the police station had a fly problem? Who knows. It started with one fly, and I thought it was just a random background element of the specific scene that was happening. Eventually, as I was playing, I began to notice flies hovering around York. But what about the hygiene mechanics? This one took me a lot longer to figure out.
