Today, we’re diving into the eerie and unconventional world of D, the 1995 psychological horror game that blurred the lines between cinema and interactivity. We begin by exploring the life and legacy of its creator, Kenji Eno, a bold and unpredictable developer whose rebellious spirit defined his work and studio, Warp. Then, we unpack the fascinating development of D, from its origins as a simple adventure title to the last-minute addition of graphic violence and cannibalism—smuggled into the final release via a secret disc swap to avoid censorship. We’ll also examine how D’s surprise success on the 3DO and infamous release on PlayStation shaped Eno’s dramatic fallout with Sony. Finally, we reflect on the cult legacy of D, its place in horror game history, and how Warp’s experimental spirit left an unexpected mark on the gaming world. So grab your flashlight and prepare for a haunting journey into one of gaming’s strangest success stories on today’s trip down Memory Card Lane.
