History in Games:
1995 - D
1996 - Enemy Zero
1999 - D2
Overview:
Released amidst the genre of interactive movies peak, D saw players guide Laura Harris as she investigated a hospital that her father has been on a murder spree in. The set up quickly sees the hospital turn into a castle and Laura is sent plunging into a dangerous puzzle box of FMV sequences with just two hours to complete the game. Ambitiously, Enemy Zero quickly followed adding FPS combat against invisible enemies whilst D2 occurred independently of both games and saw Laura stranded in snowy wilderness during turn based third person gameplay. Despite lasting a further fourteen years developer Warp would only put out one more unrelated game making this trilogy their biggest gaming contribution.
Did you enjoy the D trilogy or where they another example of the sub-genres limits?
