By holding his breath, York can slip past enemies and move to a more advantageous position. York has one trick up his sleeve - the zombies detect breath.
At first the game is very easy, but later becomes quite tense as zombies grow tougher and spaces grow tighter. York stands to fire, and has access to a growing cache of weapons that include your average videogame mainstays - pistols, machine guns, shotguns and the like. As with Resident Evil 4, the enemies mostly stay the same (although there is some variety and a few insane boss fights toward the end) and combat is quite simple. The horror sections of the game are more straightforward, and involve York solving various simple puzzles while routinely shooting at zombies. Very much like Agent York, Deadly Premonition is a game with a split personality - equal parts atmospheric horror and farcical comedy. However, once the prologue has been completed and York arrives in Greenvale, the game throws a complete curveball and becomes a ludicrous pantomime of pop culture references, shamelessly contrived humor, and the kind of dialog that leaves you both scratching your head and laughing your face off. When Deadly Premonition starts, you’d be forgiven for thinking it would be a derivative, po-faced survival horror that simply rips off Silent Hill or Siren. However, as soon as York arrives, he realizes this won’t just be any other case, not least for the fact that Greenvale is crawling with undead horrors that bend over backwards and like thrusting their arms into his mouth. York is on his way to Greenvale, where a young woman has been cut open and hung from a red tree. Other people never question this particular quirk. He’s also got a split personality called Zach, whom he talks to frequently and openly in front of other people. Special Agent Francis York Morgan (just call him York, everybody else does) is an FBI criminal profiler with an interest in the murder of young girls.
