D: The Game

Would recommend if you can look past the slow FMV gameplay and retrograde graphics. Only for the point and click enthusiasts.

JUEGAZO 😎👍💛🌟

Back before Windows 98 was released, my family finally got their first PC from some shady shop that disappeared as quickly as it popped up. The PC came with a beta version of Windows 98 and some hacked games like Diablo and Carmageddon. We went shopping shortly after and picked up a few CD-ROM games: Ultimate Doom, Shivers II, Prisoner of Ice, Myst, and D. At the time, the graphics of D blew me away. It was like playing a movie! I played through it many times, got my girlfriend to play it, etc. I did get D2 on Dreamcast but didn't like it as much and didn't play it for long. It fell to the back of my memories until recently, when scrolling through my Steam library and seeing it in there. I loaded it up and let my 13-year-old son give it a go. He played through twice; first time he ran out of time (like we all do), but he stuck with it and did well - until the last decision, when he got the bad ending. He gave up after that, but overall enjoyed his time with it. Surprising, but he does appreciate all sorts of retro games. Anyhow, thanks for keeping this game alive. And thanks to Valve and co. for letting it run on Linux, as I switched back in 2002.

An extremely surreal adventure! You are the daughter of a doctor that has gone mad to the point of starting a massacre in the hospital building he is working on. As soon as you enter the hospital to try to stop your farther, you are warped into another world... A world that seems to be the mind palace of your farther. You have about two hours to get to father before its too late to escape the other world. This game is very slow pace and a bit tricky with its controls, having the character that you control move at snails pace and very fixed/restricted. It was tricky to get around but was manageable. Please consult the game manual before playing to get a better understanding and enjoyment of them game. The whole vibe of the game was very intriguing and surreal at times with its imagery. Its amazing how they were able to capture all this weird effects with the limitations at the time. The best I can describe it is very David Lynch filmography. Honestly an interesting play! Does need to be played in one sitting!

D is a short game with FMV puzzle gameplay. If you're into any kind of retro horror stuff, this is definitely worth playing at least once. Game ran fine for the most part, except for slowdowns around the rotating room. (Which may have been user error - I had other applications going in the background.) I didn't find it to be a thrilling experience, but it's an interesting game with nice looking 3D FMVs & a nice peek back into what horror gaming used to be like.

Man, this was a trip!

Tiene una especie de filtro, que hace que sea todo como una especie de intento de niebla oscura, y un extraño filtro que hace que parezca llevar el efecto de una pantalla antigua de los 90 o 80, tendré que seguir viendo pero por ahora no lo puedo recomendar.

Le twist final est un peu décevant et m'a même fait rire, mais je pense que pour l'année où ce jeu est sorti c'était quelque chose de vraiment fou. Mais en soi, D est une expérience intéressante, à essayer, surtout si vous êtes fan des jeux vidéo d'horreur.

Great game!, but needs to be sold with an updated emulator that is easy to use, has a simple UI, and has easy de-interlacing options. The game already has a set of scan-lines in it's original presentation, it doesn't need to look like there' 4 or 5+ sets of them at any resolution. Otherwise this game is solid and is one of my favorite classic thriller horror-adventure games from the nineties!

I love old games but I'm not going to play this. The game doesn't stretch to fill my screen - sure some games have black bars but this game is a small part of my screen. I followed instructions to remove scanlines that made the game look terrible which did not work for me. I was probably following the instructions wrong but I have no idea how since I just did what the instructions seemed to be telling me. Multiple people reckon they've managed to do it so sure I guess it's possible then. It's still annoying that it's hard to fix how the game looks. After editing game files the game filled the screen horizontally but not vertically (there is still a ton of black above and below the game). The game itself is very weird and nonsensical in the beginning. I have no Idea what the hell is happening in the intro besides the narration. It's like multiple cutscenes interrupting each other. It was like a weird dream. It was so absurd it made me laugh. When that ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ was over, I thought the game was frozen because seemingly no buttons I pressed did anything and there was just a static image. I eventually worked out that the only thing you can do in the very beginning is turn left or right with arrow keys. Looking around the room was annoying since when you turn, you can only face paths you can take, so you can't enjoy looking around because you can't simply face any direction. After trying to face a painting because I felt like it a couple times, I realised the game is basically like a 3d first person point and click game except the pointing and clicking is replaced with arrow keys. That would be fine if the game looked a lot better. The game's age is not much of a valid excuse. Lots of games from the 90s look perfectly fine, this one however doesn't. Evidently plenty of people have managed to remove the scanlines hence the screenshots people take without them - congrats to them - but you shouldn't have to edit game files to make a game look decent or run well. Even in people's screenshots you can see a lot of black around the game. Do I think the game is bad? No, I think whatever was done to the game to put it up on Steam wasn't done well enough. As much as slowly moving through a building with a scanlines assaulting my eyes is an interesting experience, I'm not going to continue playing this. I have seen lots of communities of people who make old games run well on new computers. From the amazing work I've seen from people, you can definitely edit an old game enough to make it decent. I have read other reviews for this game and some people talk about this Steam version being a lot worse than other versions you can download.
