The game crashes every ~45 minutes even after downloading dpfix, sweetfx, running the .exe in compatibility mode, running it in borderless windowed mode and whatever else I did, but wow I just finished it after having it in my backlog for years and this was one of the more emotional experiences I've ever had. It has sort of ruined my day, I can't stop thinking about these characters and feeling sorry for what happened to them, thinking about the times that were had with them before the ending and different things that could've been done to save them (even though this is a game with a set story).

Game is very clunky and dated in pretty much everything from combat to visual presentation. It's a sort of open-world environment you'll be navigating, it has a lot of pop-in but if you do two particular side quests you'll get a radio that will let you fast travel to destinations you have reached prior. The game will crash every now and then in the later stages of the game and no one seems to know why. I happened to consistently get a crash at a specific point in the game which stopped occurring after I used a cigarette to advance game time by almost 2 hours, so try using a cigarette if you're in the same position.

Even with all that I had to see this through after starting it, the characters were always human but also quirky, and that story just kept getting more and more compelling as it went. Honestly for me it was heartbreaking to witness all of that which happens at the end. The story is so bizarre yet it was still so immersive and profound. The closure that the final scenes delivered was really touching and made the game absolutely memorable.

Just wanted to vent about this.

the actual horror isnt the raincoat killer it's the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ PC port

This port had the potential to bring Deadly Premonition into the current generation, it failed. Constant crashes and the need for installation of mods hold back this game from being the port it couldve been. The devs seem to be more apt to promoting lgbt during pride month then making a playable port.
