From the unparalleled atmosphere, music and mysterious storyline to driving vehicles and exploring the entire town, Deadly Premonition will offer you a unique and haunting interactive gaming experience unlike any other.

We spoke with Swery, of Access Games, who is the director of Deadly Premonition about the game.

The Big Bad Wolf: What inspired Deadly Premonition?

Swery: Providing entertainment value and a gripping storyline was a main goal of mine while creating this game. I wanted to incorporate not just fights with monsters, but also an intriguing mystery that needs to be solved. I wanted players to yearn to seek the answer, which they can find only through gameplay.

The Big Bad Wolf: Can you tell us a bit about the main character, FBI Agent Francis York Morgan?

The Big Bad Wolf: What can you tell us about the Red Seed Murders?

Swery: These mysterious Red Seed Murders are plaguing Greenvale and haunting events have spread fear throughout the town. Bloody and horrific occurrences throughout town continue to take the lives of residents and inspire horror in everyone.

The Big Bad Wolf: What can we expect from this game in terms of creepiness?

Swery: Between gory tentacles, blood-spewing zombies, and all the eerie characters in the game, Deadly Premonition easily runs the gamut of creepy.

The Big Bad Wolf: What about blood and gore?

Swery: Blood and gore is everywhere in this game. Although the Shadows (one of the enemies of the game) will bleed purple blood, humans and animals bleed red blood. One can expect many visceral murder sequences, untimely deaths and even an autopsy or two. Beware.

The Big Bad Wolf: What types of monsters/supernatural creatures will we see?

Swery: One can expect to see a plethora of different types of Shadows, which are Zombie-like creatures who attack in a very bizarre and frightful manner. One can also expect to see a multitude of other bizarre monstrosities such as ones who travel along walls and other possessed creatures. There are many dark things lurking in Greenvale's seedy underbelly.

The Big Bad Wolf: What types of weapons are at the player's disposal?

Swery: There is a wealth of weapons at the player's disposal. Shooting weapons that range from a 9mm handgun to shotguns to fully automatic machineguns with grenade launcher attachments. There are also a number of melee weapons including golf clubs, pipes, axes (Of various types), knives and even military issued sabers. There are even some hidden weapons, one of which you may recognize as a throwback to a certain movie franchise.

The Big Bad Wolf: Can you talk a bit about this persistent world?

Swery: Whether you are there or not the citizens of Greenvale will be active, traveling to various locations, lounging about their apartments when they're off work, going out for a bite to eat or even to the bar for drink. The citizens of Greenvale continue on with their daily lives and routines, which allows you to locate them for side missions if necessary.

The Big Bad Wolf: Is this a free-roam game?

Swery: Yes and no. Much like in real life, the FBI agent, Agent York, is looking to solve a series of murders, which is the main focus of the game that cannot be ignored without penalty. Also like in real life, on off hours or between appointments one is free to do whatever they want and roam the city of Greenvale at their leisure; be it to shop for items, engage side missions, question suspects, spy on citizens, enjoy time fishing or many other activities. What you do with your free time is entirely up to you.

The Big Bad Wolf: Is there any downloadable content planned?

Swery: No.

The Big Bad Wolf: Where can our readers find out more about Deadly Premonition?

Swery: Visit our website www.deadlypremonition.com or our Facebook page www.facebook.com/deadlyprem.

The Big Bad Wolf: In closing what would you like to say about Deadly Premonition?

Swery: Blurring the line between reality and horror was key factor in creating an atmosphere of chilling fear and mystery around the Red Seeds Murders. All of the characters are residents of Greenvale-the twins, the bartender, the museum curator, the sheriff-but as the story starts to unfold and the horrifying mystery begins revealing itself, you begin to realize that everyday people can be apart of harrowing incidents. If you can handle purple blood and zombies, then you might have a chance of getting out of Greenvale alive. Good luck.

The Big Bad Wolf: Thank you for your time! Best of luck with Deadly Premonition!
