"D" - a classic!
Here it is - the first worldwide success of Kenji Eno's studio WARP. Back in 1995 / 1996 "D" was quite unique. An interactive horror experience never seen before. In "D" you play as Laura, a girl who arrives at a crime scene where her father has butchered a whole bunch of people. Suddenly Laura gets sucked into some kind of portal and finds herself in an old castle. Now it is up to her to find out what has happened, where she is and how she can get out of there. Gameplay is fairly simple. You can move on "rails", means you click the direction you want to go and Laura automatically moves there. You´ll stumble across some puzzle solving along the way. Puzzles are fairly easy, but they are just a nice "topping" anyway. The strong part of "D" is the storytelling and the creepy atmosphere. You have a 2 hour time limit to escape the castle and solve the secret behind your fathers' rampage. If you get stuck, you have a mirror that gives you a hint of where to go next. Use it wisely though - it breaks after using it three times. Along the way a certain number of scarabs can be found. They are not needed to succeed, but they will unlock a special ending for the game. Ah - endings. There are four of them: - A very bad one - this happens when time runs out. - A bad one - depends on a decision near the end of the game. - A good one - depends on a decision near the end of the game. - The best one - get the good ending and find all hidden items. Bottom line: If you like FMV games and slow paced, eerie experiences, then D is for you. A true classic and - imo - worth the 5.99 here on gog. It is available on 3DO, Saturn, Playstation and PC - but the disc releases are quite expensive and the PC version is a hassle to get running on modern system with dosbox. Save yourself time and nerves and buy this digital release instead, as it runs right out of the box.
