Not bad if you like 90s FMV horror

D is an interactive puzzle horror story and for the time period it came out in the graphics were quite impressive. I remember playing it in the mid-90s and being blown away that I was able to walk around a 3D environment. For starters the story is not bad, it’s cheesy horror so I liked it. The 3D FMV sequences used are also pretty fitting and I feel they add a bit to the tone of the game. Since the story is based on a 2-hour time limit, the game is short, took me about 1 hour and 45 minutes to complete. Puzzle were for the most part fun but not complex. I do have one major gripe, the section mid-way through the game, the rotating room felt more like filler to extend the game then actually adding to it, most of my time was spend in that section… rotating a room. That is my only complaint really. Aside from the rotating room, the game is definitely worth a play if you like early 3D rendered FMV games. I don’t have as much time anymore to play so a short game like D that you can finish in a sitting really fit the bill for me. It might not have a huge replay ability but I’m sure I’ll play it again every few years for the nostalgia.

This is not a game for newcomers

First and foremost: If you didn't play and enjoy this game back when it came out, it is not worth picking up now. It's ugly, the sound design is terrible, it's boring, and the plot is utterly stupid. I'm sure it was groundbreaking when it was first released, but for a horror fan that is just discovering this game, it's not worth it. That plot twist was one of the dumbest I've ever encountered in any medium, ever. If you loved it back in the day, kudos. I only recently picked it up and I don't understand why anyone would ever want to play this game. That's about it.

2 hours but its the first of the series

Being a huge fan of D2, I had to see how it started off, having never played the first one before. Just like D2 this game is weird, the story is very captivating, the puzzles are so hard I don't know how you would beat it without a guide. And oh, yeah... you have to beat it in 2 HOURS. I really like the pace of the game because it gives you a break from some of the heavy button mashing fast paced games. The downside of this game is that you can't save it (which isn't too bad if the game isn't extremely long) But what kills me is the time limit. When I saw that you're out of time screen I was so pissed. I would have gave this game a better rating if it wasn't for the time limit, but I think it is still generous considering the game isn't a complete fail.

Still worth it to the right person

This would have blown my mind back in the day. Now? It was pretty entertaining for a couple of hours. The FMV sequences are interesting, but are obviously not novel anymore. It's kinda interesting watching how primitive they are, but also how effective they still are too. As far as an adventure game goes, it's pretty smooth sailing. That is, until you get to the room where you have to watch full MINUTES of leaver pulling just to get to the room you need. Lastly, the DOS version is all interlaced -- you're going to have to dig through forums to download a fix for DOSBOX. Why GOG will sell this game in this state is kind of embarrassing.

A flawed, charming game

D is not the kind of game that most people would want to play, especially today. It is (extremely) slow, there is little gameplay, and it is very short. But is it any good? Let's see... First, the graphics. I think that it looks quite good for a 1996 game. Today, it is ugly, but I think that it benefits the atmosphere of the game and ultimately makes the experience so much better. Now, the atmosphere and mood are the best aspects of D. While not a scary game by any means, the nature of the game is generally creepy and tense, if only a little bit. The sound is not great, but it does the job. The gameplay revolves around pressing a button and waiting for Laura (the protagonist) to move there or to do this or that. It is not fun at all - but D is not the kind of game that wants to be fun. It is a different kind of experience, and I believe that the limited, slow, generally boring gameplay helps to convey certain feelings and emotions that D needs so much. A note to other reviewers: not every game needs to be fun, you know? This is a different kind of game. It's not bad, it's just not for you. Now, there is one major gripe with D: the story. It is "decent" at best. I see that it wanted to be artistic, interesting, dark and moody, but it comes off as cheap and laughable. Despite this, I think that D is very much worth playing today if you are into movie-like games, FMV games or just old bizarre stuff. D is all of that and more.
