Deadly Premonition, known as Red Seeds Profile (レッドシーズプロファイル?) in Japan, is a psychological horror open world cult video game developed by Access Games for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 and published by Ignition Entertainment in North America, Marvelous Entertainment in Japan and Rising Star Games in Europe. It was released in North America on February 17, 2010, in Japan on March 11, 2010 and in Europe on October 29, 2010. The PlayStation 3 version was released only in Japan on the same date as the Xbox 360 version. A director's cut release for the PlayStation 3 was announced in March 2012, along with news of other Deadly Premonition projects.
The game is notable for introducing open world nonlinear gameplay and a comedy horror theme to the survival horror genre. It is also notable for implementing a free-roaming storyline within an open game world where all the characters have their own schedules. It is considered one of the most divisive games to be released in a long time, and has become known for its "wildly mixed critical reception and headline-making strangeness." It is seen as a primary example of "games as art" and holds the Guinness World Record of "Most Critically Polarizing Survival Horror Game."
