D'

About

D' is a space-based survival horror title where two crew members battle threats aboard their crippled colonization ship. Players control Louis and Dick as they navigate the damaged transport Sophia, balancing oxygen levels and firepower while uncovering why the vessel's alarm went off mid-journey. The co-operative mode lets two players share limited resources and cover blind spots, though the claustrophobic design often forces tough choices about who gets to keep breathing. Released in late 1988, the game’s co-op focus stood out at a time when most survival horror titles prioritized solo tension. Its MSX2 and PC-8800 Series visuals lean into stark monochrome effects to heighten unease. While the narrative remains deliberately vague about the Sophia’s true danger, the pressure of dwindling oxygen and sudden enemy encounters keeps the experience tense. Players who enjoy managing scarcity under siege might find it a brutal but concise 30-year-old artifact with surprisingly modern DNA.
