This game is the first in the D series and one of the first, released by this company. It contains scenes of violence and cannibalism.

Also in D first appeared protagonist Laura, which is the main heroine of the games Enemy Zero and D2.
Plot
The game begins with the fact that a girl named Laura Harris receives a call from the Los Angeles police. She is informed that her father, Dr. Richter Harris, committed a massacre and barricaded himself in the hospital. Laura goes to the crime scene, hoping to find an explanation for such an act of a revered doctor. The police ask her to go inside and find out what's wrong. However, when Laura enters, she closes her eyes, and when she opens them, she discovers that the hospital has turned into an old mansion.
Laura examines the mansion; periodically she is visited by visions of how her mother is being killed with a knife. Laura's father (in the form of spirit) asks her to leave this place - to be in it too long means to stay in the mansion forever. He says that he will soon become a soulless monster who will try to kill her. However, Laura continues to search for her father, who is sealed in the uppermost room. As a result, the father discovers to her the secret: their family was founded by Dracula, and in every descendant lies the thirst for human flesh. Laura killed and ate her mother many years ago, but this incident was erased from her memory by her father. As Dr. Harris begins to turn into a vampire, Laura must make a choice: kill or be killed. There are four possible endings, depending on the player's actions:
- Time is over. If the player does not manage to finish the game in 2 hours, the road to the real world will be closed. A message will appear on the screen: "Your time has come. Please try again. "(English Out of Time, Please Try Again.).
- Bad ending. If the player approaches Laura's father and does not kill him, the screen gradually darkens and titles begin. In the background, you can hear Father eating Laura.
- A good ending. If Laura shoots her father from the revolver she found earlier, he will die and the transformation will be interrupted. Laura hugs her dying father. He admits that he did not stop the transformation from scientific curiosity and thanks his daughter for doing it for him. After the death of the doctor, the reality created by his mind disappears, and Laura again appears in the hospital. After the credits, a message will appear that the player can try to go through the game again to find the missed scenes.
- The best (100%) ending. As the game progresses, the player finds the scarabs in various places. If they are all collected, then in the final credits will also be heard the crying of the child (with a "good" ending).
