Developed by WARP and published by Sega, D2 arrived on the Sega Dreamcast in 1999 as a horror game.

It belongs to the Dreamcast's earliest wave of games. Other notable Dreamcast releases from 1999 include Worms Armageddon, Mortal Kombat Gold and Space Channel 5. Among the 13 Dreamcast horror games in our database, it ranks #7 by legacy score.

It is part of the D series. The series also appears on other systems with D (PS1) and D (3DO). WARP also made Real Sound: Kaze no Regret for the Dreamcast.

D2 is a single-player game, so it's one to enjoy at your own pace.

Pick it if…

  • you want to be spooked
  • you have time for an evening or two (roughly 1–6 hours to see it through)
  • you want to experience one of the Dreamcast's defining games

Maybe skip it if…

  • you scare easily or dislike scarce resources
  • you are looking for something to play with friends

What playing D2 is like

Horror games build dread through atmosphere, limited resources and enemies you would rather avoid than fight. Survival horror in particular makes every bullet count.

Tip for newcomers: Conserve ammunition and healing items, explore carefully, and play with the lights off for the full effect.
