Deadly Premonition 2: A Blessing in Disguise

Deadly Premonition 2 acts as both a sequel and prequel to the first game:

• The main part of the game takes place in 2005, four years prior to the events in Greenvale, as FBI Special Agent Francis York Morgan investigates the murder of Lise Clarkson in the town of Le Carré, Louisiana.
• The framing story is set in 2019 and follows FBI Agent Aaliyah Davis' investigation into the handling of the Le Carré case.

It's time for us to head back out into the chaos. Isn't that right, Zach?

Unused Cinematic#

The game files contain an unused pre-rendered scene that was planned to be played during Episode 4 according to its file name, likely to play at the end of the investigation at Lena Dauman's lab. In the final game, York is knocked down by an unseen person (in the unused cutscene it's shown to be Avery) and Patricia is taken away during the cut to black (in the unused cutscene it's shown to be by her own father).

Unused Objects#

The game has many objects loaded in that are left unseen by the players due to the game's low clip distance, most of those are buildings, LOD models of objects and landscapes meant to be seen in the distance. Normally those objects and textures are never seen unless the player breaks out of bounds and gets close enough for them to be seen. Alternativly, increasing the game's clip distance through hacks also makes it possible to see some of those objects without breaking out of the playable area.

One of the most notable unseen areas is found in the north of the map. 2D textures of far away buildings, likely an oil refinery, as well as a long bridge leading to them are always loaded in. However, the buildings and far lands are left completely obscured by the low clip distance, and the bridge can only ever be seen if the player goes to where it connects to the playable map in the northwestern region. Even so, only a portion of it is able to be seen and never the whole bridge.

Unused Areas#

The game has several onused areas, a few of those still present in the game though unreachble through normal means.

The 5 hotspots in the game are nombered as 1, 3, 4, 5 and 8. Hotspots 2, 6 and 7 are missing, but one of them appears to be next to the Clarksons' Cold Storage Warehouse, in a closed off area. Some players managed to glitch their way into the area and found an imput to talk to Raven - the NPC who brings you to the hotspots.

Another unused area is south to Chock's Crawfish Farm, where several alligators can be seen roaming around. They can spot and attack the player if they're inside the area.

Unused Graphics#

Flashback_8_01 through Flashback_8_06 are simple placeholders with the filename on a black background.

Early Tutorial Thumbnails#

Any tutorial thumbnails with text have an unused variant, some of which show some differences when compared to the final game. The filenames of the used thumbnails include the language (Tutorial_4_English), while the unused ones do not.
