About This Game The story begins in 1997. It's the dead of night in the city of Los Angeles, and there has been a mass murder at a general hospital on the outskirts of downtown. The perpetrator is the director of the hospital, Richter Harris. He has shut himself up in the hospital and taken a number of patients as hostages, leaving the police helpless and unable to move in. Richter's only daughter, Laura Harris, after hearing the situation, rushes to Los Angeles from San Francisco, and drives alone to the tragic scene at the hospital ground. Upon entering the hospital Laura finds herself transported to an old mansion, while the disembodied voice of her father pleads with her to leave. Nevertheless she must press forward to save her father and herself. 7aa9394dea Title: D: The GameGenre: AdventureDeveloper:WARPPublisher:Nightdive Studios, Throwback EntertainmentRelease Date: 1 Apr, 1995 D: The Game Activation Code [Ativador] More of an interactive movie than a game, this was something I was wholly surprised by. Absolutely something to play if you have a few hours and some friends, but don't expect modern mechanics. This is a Dreamcast game and feels like it, so if you're prepared for that you'll have a wonderful time.. - Good game for PSX FMV nostalgia pals! ;)- Laura, the protagonist, is looking to find out what's happening in the hospital where his dad is mass murdering people. D will take a plot twist right at the first minutes and there you go.- The game happens in a 2hs run (mandatory) or is game over. Pros:- The port is based on DOS Box but is pretty playable, no issues.- Kenji Eno made the music of the game and you should check the story of the life\/death of this dev.- Don't miss the endings and credits ;)Cons:- The puzzles are very easy, but the rhythm of the exploration may be too slow for today's standards. That's why I say, play this if you like this genre and you played games like this back in the 90's. Low budget dialog, but funny classic danger moments.Notes:D has a sequel on Dreamcast called D2 that's very different and continues the story of the main protagonist and has nothing to do with D4: Dark Dreams Don't Die from Swery65.. Excellent timing for its PC release near halloween, this game came out a year before Resident Evil and well it is certianly very interesting and soemwhat surreal at times. This game pre-dates Shenmue and has QTE's in it! Speaking of this game being innovative those knight staues that ataack the player idea was copied in RE4, then again I recall Clock Tower 3 using them prior so goes to show this game has its interesting quirks!The D-DOS Emulator is comes with works great too!. As a fan of the late Kenji Eno (R.I.P) and the now defunct WARP Studios games, I was really happy to see that D (WARP's first game to be released outside of Japan) is now easily accessible on Steam. D was originally made for the short lived 3DO in 1995 and was ported to the Sega Staurn, PS1, and MS DOS (which is this version). The gameplay is akin to 1993's Myst, with the entire game being an fmv. Yet, unlike Myst, everything is fully animated. So if you want to get somewhere, you are going to have to walk there using a pre-set path. It's kinda slow, but it really helps build the atmosphere.This game mostly deals with walking around the creepy mansion and solving puzzles. Some of these puzzles may seem a bit tricky at first, but you'll never reach the point of having to look up a walkthrough. *HINT: Make sure you check all your surroundings before giving up!*Thing's ain't all fine and dandy though, as you need to beat the game within two real time hours. There is no saving as well, so you will need to play this game through in one sitting. That might be a deal breaker to some, but for me personally it helps build a tense mood to add on to the spooky atmosphere.If I had any problems, it would be that the game (or just this Dos Box packaged in with the game) has an odd problem where all the fmvs (the entire game) has these odd and dark crt tv-esque scan lines on them. If anyone knows how to get rid of them (or just make it look less bad) please tell me.If you like old horror games, or are just looking for something a bit more experimental, I highly recommend WARP's "D". Buying this game will hopefully help Nightdive Studios release other WARP games like "Enemy Zero" and "D-2" on Pc, along with other games from different developers. So show some support! Thanks for reading!. Okay, I know I'm recommending this, despite it being a pretty bad game that hasn't aged well AT ALL, but hear me out.This game was pretty revolutionary for its time. Unfortunately it's cryptic as hell, though thankfully short. The story's coherent, but pretty poorly laid out and what little dialog there is sounds like it was written by a third grader trying to be scary. I will say that it's worth playing in the same way watching "The Room" is worth watching. You have to see it to believe it. This isn't a somewhat decent game like Clock Tower. This is D. (I'll give you one wild guess as to what the D stands for)I'll admit that my sole reason for buying was finding this in the upcoming section and having flashbacks. I remember being scared as a small child while my brother played through it on his SEGA Saturn back in the day. Some of it I remember differently, like the voice acting and some of the puzzles. It does not hold up well. I'm also pretty sure that this game invented Quicktime Events thanks to a very annoying sequence I gave up on temporarily before having to start all over again.I do like the basic premise, however. A doctor going on a spontaneous murder spree and his daughter decides to investigate why he would suddenly go mad, and then being transported to a world created by his own mind. If they remade this game with decent writing, a new engine, more puzzles that aren't so tedious and boring, and a better fleshed out story (not unlike Amnesia: the Dark Descent), it would probably age much better in the long run.Until then, I guess we'll just have to deal with the good old crappy 1995 version. Like E.T. for Atari, this game is a piece of history, however bad it actually is. It's definitely worth checking out. Plus, it's only 6 bucks.. D is a masterpiece of the 90s point and click genre created by a unrecognized genius of the era. Night Dive Studios would be wise to continue to honor Kenji Eno's legacy and release the rest of his catalog on Steam.. I own this game on Playstation, 3DO, Saturn and now on Steam, and I don't regret paying for it again, even though it hasn't aged well, and even though this is a fairly mediocre DOSBox port.D is an on-rails horror-suspense game from the 90s. You play as Laura Harris, daughter of Dr. Richter Harris, a famous physician who, for some reason, has suddenly decided to murder everyone in his hospital and disappear inside the building. You have two hours (in real time) to figure out why, with no saving, interactive movie-style.You use the four directional buttons to move, space to interact with things, and I to access your inventory. I'm telling you that here and now, because the game doesn't tell you any of that anywhere at any point (that was all originally in the manual).To be sure, this game is old as\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665 Everything moves really slowly, the graphics (although I love them) are from the 90s, and some of the scares (although I love them) are kind of goofy in the modern era. But, the hole-filled story does take a couple of unexpected turns, there are two endings, and the overall atmosphere is actually pretty creepy, even now. If you like horror, don't mind awkward ports of old games, and maybe also if it's on sale, then by all means show some love to one of the pioneers of the genre. Also, for a fun drinking game, take a shot every time Richter says "Laura.". \u771f\u7684\u5f9e\u4f86\u6c92\u6709\u60f3\u5230\u904e\u80fd\u5728Mac\u4e0a\u73a9\u5230\u539f\u6c41\u539f\u5473\u7684D\u306e\u98df\u5353\uff01\u5be6\u5728\u662f\u592a\u9a5a\u559c\u4e86\u3002\u6574\u9ad4\u9084\u539f\u5012\u4e0d\u662f\u554f\u984c\uff0c\u50f9\u683c\u9084\u53ef\u4ee5\uff0c\u8981\u662f\u80fd\u5920\u589e\u52a0\u5b57\u5e55\u5c31\u5b8c\u7f8e\u4e86.Hopping in the next version add the subtitles and Save Load function ! Thanks!Nominted this game!. An old school horror game with all the disjointed 3D and repeating textures you can shake a stick at. This harkens back to the halcyon days of slow plodding atmospheric horror a year before the original Resident Evil was released.Bottom Line: its not much fun today. A very slow slog and the final "reveal" is humdrum by current standards.Still, it is an interesting piece of gaming history and should be experienced just to see how far we have come.. "D (video game) is master mystery puzzle is excellence!"
