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 Download With Crack 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.". 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!. 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!". D: The Game is an adventurous interactive soft-horror movie game developed by WARP and originally published in 1995 by Acclaim Entertainment.In the mid 90\u2019s the developers started using the full-motion video techniques in combination with video games like many others in that era however, this idea didn\u2019t last long and thus these type of games became rare gems.A note to lore freaks, the storyline itself might be considered a little muzzy.D: The game starts in 1997 at a hospital on the outskirts of Los Angeles.One the best known doctors of America and director of the hospital suddenly transformed into a mass murderer seizing a large number of hostages and barricaded himself in the hospital where the police can\u2019t reach him. His name, Richter Harris.When daughter Laura hears the news at school in San Francisco she immediately drives to Los Angeles to investigate what it is that transformed her father into a mass murderer and enters the hospital.Once inside, the hospital morphs into a castle which the player have to explore in order to solve the mystery.In D: The Game there are several puzzles that have to be solved and items to be found to interact with the environment. While doing so, the player might sometimes be surprised by little so called jump-scare scenes and flashbacks which forms one of the basic building blocks for this horror game (not to compare with today\u2019s horror standards).The biggest challenge in this game is that the player must complete the game within two hours without having the option for saving or pausing the game.Personally I really enjoyed this game because of some unique brainteasing puzzles, the full-motion technique and the nostalgic graphical atmosphere. I must say that I really had to get used to the slow pace of movement because the game won\u2019t allow you to roam wherever you want, whenever you want.Instead the exploration goes by a turn-based movement by choosing a direction, stop, choose your next direction, stop and so on.I found the game quite ahead for its time compared to today\u2019s (horror)video-game standards and D: The Game might be considered a true masterpiece of 90\u2019s because of the things mentioned above.I highly recommend this game to people who like to play retro or horror games, certainly when the game is on sale!Keep in mind that the game has a short gameplay length of two hours without saving or pausing the game, has a slow pace of movement and is not what you might expect from modern day horror games.
