An expanded game of D

A director's cut of D including additional cutscenes and trailers including the trailer for D2. 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.

This is the rare-ish special edition of D that was released for the 3DO back in the day. The base game is largely the same, though it does feature some extended and reworked cutscnese that look a fair bit better than their original counterparts. You can also unlock a secret trailer for the unreleased version of D2 for the Panasonic M2.

It's the bonus disc that holds a lot more of the interesting stuff, like trailers, dubs for different languages, a scene comparison thingy (where you can see what changes were made to which cutscenes), and even a small visual novel companion piece (which has been translated online, if you are wondering).

If you aren't fond of D, this isn't gonna change your mind, but as a WARP ENTHUSIAST, this was a really neat little package.

(IIRC, this is also one of the two games Fumito Ueda worked on at WARP before joining Sony to make Ico and Shadow of the Colossus, which is neat!)
