History VideoGame / DeadlyPremonition2

* ObviousBeta: Hoo boy. This game runs very badly on the only console the game was available for, never leaving 10fps, and ''barely'' reaching 25fps in indoor areas. To put how bad the games performance is into perspective, one of the first game's most vocal supporters, [[WebVideo/{{Jimquisition}} Jim Sterling]], felt that the problems were SO BAD that he suggested waiting until they were fixed.

* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Simon actually [[UpToEleven literally worships pizza]].

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Raven Yahoo has violet hair.

* BigDamnHeroes: [[spoiler:Aaliyah arrives just as a corrupted Zach is about to sacrifice Patricia and when Aaliyah is corrupted and shoots Patricia, ''York'' arrives to grab the bullet as it hit her locket.]]

* RealAfterAll: [[spoiler:The "fairy" Zach converses with at first seems like an imaginary ReplacementGoldfish he made to fill the hole York left. Then said fairy secretly unlocks his handcuffs while Aaliyah is interrogating him, allowing him to escape to rescue Patricia]].
** [[spoiler: While both games make it clear that all the other characters saw Zach, and Zach was talking to York all the time, the climax has York physically manifest, separate from Zach and able to interact with Patricia. This definitively shows that York was not merely a psychic being, but something altogether inhuman. ]]

* {{Retcon}}: [[spoiler:The Director's Cut for the first game showed Zach having married and having a granddaughter but it's never mentioned in the game. Of course said Director's Cut could be taken years later.]]

** When York considers meeting Professor R on account of her potentially meeting the profile for a "tall, stylish woman" he's looking for, Melvin tells York that he's probably looking for the wrong person because Professor R isn't a "[[{{Transgender}} normal woman]]". York immediately calls out Melvin for his remark. [[spoiler:Revealed to be subverted on both the "politically incorrect" and "hero" front. In reality, he was actually one of the people under Lena's control and wanted to keep York from discovering Lena's plan]].

* {{Transgender}}: Lena Dauman, aka Professor R, is a trans woman. In a small Southern town, this naturally earned her a lot of scorn from the other townspeople. [[spoiler:Her birth-name was Leonard Clarkson.]]

* ArtisticLicenseLaw: The game's closing states that [[spoiler: Avery Smith]] was given 4 consecutive life sentences for his involvement in the game's plot. [[spoiler: Not only is this kind of sentence complete and total overkill (unless they're holding him responsible for everyone Saint Rouge killed over its distribution) but Avery almost certainly would be not able to be tried in a court of law because of his mental deficiencies making clear it that he didn't know what he was doing was wrong and was just following what Lena taught him to do. Most likely, Avery would be declared mentally incompetent to stand trial, in which case he would be indefinitely cosigned to a high security psychiatric hospital able to take care of him -- not placed in a general purpose prison.]]

* HiddenDepths: On the surface, Xavier Johnson is a bartender whose attire consists of his tighty-whitey briefs and a cowboy hat. Beneath it, he's quite philosophical to make York impressed.
