Source-derived summary

Deadly Premonition 2: A Blessing in Disguise is a survival horror video game developed by Toybox, White Owls, and Now Production for the Nintendo Switch. It was released on July 10, 2020 by Toybox in Japan and Rising Star Games internationally. It is both a prequel and sequel to Deadly Premonition, which has garnered a cult following since its release in 2010. A Blessing in Disguise follows FBI Agent Francis York Morgan as he works to solve a murder mystery in the fictional American town of Le Carré, Louisiana.

Gameplay

Deadly Premonition 2 divides its gameplay between two sections. In the first, the player assumes the role of FBI Agent Aaliyah Davis, who interrogates Francis Zach Morgan in his apartment about his handling of a case involving the murder of a teenage girl. The gameplay of these sections consists mostly of visual novel style dialogue and point and click exploration of Zach’s apartment.

In the second, the player guides a younger Francis York Morgan through the fictional American town of Le Carré, Louisiana, fourteen years prior, as he investigates that case and its connection to a drug ring. These sections are open world, and include side quests alongside the main story. Traversal of the open world is done via skateboard.
