Deadly Premonition: The Director’s Cut is an Action-Adventure, Simulation, Horror-Survival, and Single-player video game developed by Access Games. Throughout the gameplay, the player serves as an FBI agent, and the main goal is to investigate the identity of the Raincoat Killer, who is responsible for a murder in the rural town of Greenvale.

In this open-world game, the player views the environment from the third-person perspective. The character receives in-game money for finishing the missions assigned by the game and for minor events, such as shaving or changing suits. The player must have to pay a fine for poor performance, such as wearing dirty clothes.

Like other simulating games, the player requires food and sleep at regular intervals to maintain hunger and rest. If the character’s gauge for sleepiness reaches zero, he will become hungry, and if his gauge for hunger depletes, he will begin to lose his health. Sleeping restores his health, while food and other items restore sleepiness.
