Luckily D is so rich with atmosphere and tension and is blessed with good direction that the dated visuals don't really hamper the experience all too much. While they must have been impressive at their time, the graphics do look fairly dated today. There are puzzles to solve as you advance through the castle and many cutscenes revealing scares and plot points. Don't solve the mystery by then and Laura is trapped in the mysterious castle forever. It is unique with its storytelling, level of graphic scenes (which I would love to spoil here but they are too dang cool) for the time, and the fact that the game has a two joe time limit. The game plays sort of similarly to Myst and other PC adventure games at the time where you are on rails, moving from point to point by predetermined paths as you choose. Upon witnessing a ghostly vision of her father trying to reach her, Laura decides to venture through the dangerous and twisted castle to find her father, save him, and unravel the mystery along the way.

Upon entering the hospital however, Laura is warped to what seems to be a mid-evil castle. The police have called Laura to try and reach the mad doctor and talk him down from his madness. In D, you play as Laura Harris who is called to a Los Angeles hospital after her father Doctor Richard Harris has gone on a sudden mass shooting spree inside. While it was a huge success in Japan it just reached cult status in the west, but has more or less unanimously been praised for its daring approach and creative quirks. First released on the 3DO, Saturn, PS1, and PC in 1995, it was the first fully CGI video game and is an oft-forgotten gem in the horror gaming Genre. D, (or D no shokutaku), created by Japanese indie developer Warp, is a very early entry in the horror gaming genre.
