Brings what grabs you about Deadly Premonition: dread and tension, an open world as well as a strong story.

As a 1920s private eye in the half-drowned town of Oakmont, you solve eerie cases by reconstructing crime scenes and drawing your own conclusions, with little hand-holding, in a Lovecraftian nightmare. Thick atmosphere and morally grey decisions carry the game, while the combat is serviceable rather than great.
