Walkthrough for "D" (AcclaimNation)
____________________________________
Gorgeous graphics, animation & sound, but very little game-play. You
have 2 hours of real-time to solve the game & no save-games are
allowed.
The following will take you through the game but do stop off and look
at the scenery for additional visual effects - Entry room: turn
around & experience vision. Turn around again & exit
through door on far left.
Climb stairs & enter room directly in front (door on left has graphic
scene but no puzzle). Move to chest of drawers. Open drawer I and get
paper. Move to fireplace & get key.

walk forward (animation of spikes - near miss). Turn left & use
wheelbrace on barrel & spikes will slide back in place. Go forward &
descend stairs to door with '78' written on it (locked).
Return to entry room & walk forward & use fireplace key to open
locked door facing you.
Enter room and turn left. Go forward (twice) and use machine to dial
up '78' (difficult to stop dials at right place - persevere. Stop
left dial at '9' & will turn to '7'; stop right dial at '1' & will
turn to '8').
The machine opens - get ring.
Return to '78' door stopping off to look in mirror for a vision. Open
door with ring.
Descend stairs (animation scene from Indiana Jones complete with
rolling ball).
Enter room and head towards picture of young girl. Look at it & see
vision of 4 animals - deer at front. Walk around room & approach
object on table to left of exit door (locked). Turn object until
deer picture is directly to the front. Then open exit door.
Enter room and move to door directly in front of you. Open it &
enter.
Move forwards & get yellow key from skeletal hand. Return to room

desk drawer with yellow key & get book. Exit room to big room with
busts & bookcase. Move around & approach bookcase. Put book in
bookcase (opens secret stairway).
Ascend stair & enter circular room with machine (CD No. 2)
Turn wheel on machine 10 times. Turn around & descend stair to armor
room with pit. You are attacked by knight (watch bottom of screen
for highlighted arrow keys). Quickly turn left when arrow key is
highlighted, then right (after highlight), then left again (another
highlight), then hit spacebar (last highlight). You push knight in
pit & get sword. (If he pushes you in the pit, climb ladder & try to
dodge again).
Return to circular room & turn wheel 7 times. Turn around.
Ascend stair, move forward, then left. Open locked door with sword.
Climb stair & approach telescope. Turn right & turn telescope
attachment to symbol of bow & arrow. Turn left & look through
telescope. Note color of stars (Sagitarius - green). Turn right &
adjust attachment to pair of wavy lines. Turn right & use telescope
again (Aquarius - light blue).
Descend tower & exit. Turn right & approach Sagitarius statue, then

Return to circular room. Turn wheel 3 times. Turn around and
approach stained-glass window. Fire gun. Window breaks & animation
scene of you climbing tower & entering window.
Turn around & walk forward. Turn right & look at wall (secret passage
opens). (Can also go to end of corridor before entering secret
passage to receive vision).
Approach machine. Use switches & button to move red ball on left
wheel to centre right of left wheel. Use switches & button to move
right wheel only to pick up red ball. Machine moves back opening up
stairway.
Ascend stair & confront your father. He tells you the family history.
You have the blood of Dracula in your veins (hence 'D' ?) and as a
child you killed & ate your mother (yuk!!). Your Dad wants to eat
your flesh & starts to change into a monster. Fire gun at him.
Goodbye Dad (can you kill Vampires with bullets?). Cry over his dead
body while the credits roll. What happens to Laura now????
The game ends with a suggestion to start all over to see missed
scenes.
I doubt too many players will bother - ted
