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.
Exit room and return to entry room. Turn right, forward, then left. Use
paper on bowl sitting on table. Roman numerals IV & II appear.
Return to room with drawers. Open drawer IV, then drawer II & get
wheelbrace.
Descend stairs, turn left into room with barrel. Turn right & try to
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 with
picture of girl. Move around until you can approach desk. Open 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
press green button. Approach Aquarius statue and press light-blue
button. See vision of rising chest on water from spiked pit.
Return to circular room & turn wheel 10 times. Turn around & descend
stairs. Turn left and open chest - get gun.
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

Some corrections, submitted by Joel Goldenberg:
After turning the wheel in the circular room 7 times, you turn right, not
left as indicated.
Then, after you break the stained-glass window, the secret passage is on
the left, not the right as indicated.
