D.Nd: Poisoned
D.Nd : Poisoned is a Death Note doujin Visual Novel made by Akane (A.I Project).
Mello and Near are assigned to spend three days working together on a report. During those three days, Mello can either learn to work with Near, avoid him altogether or... go insane.
The game is available for free download on the website. It is suggested for players 18 and older, as it involves possible insanity (depends on which route you take), sex, violence.
A sequel, Infection is in the works, and takes place after the four-year time skip in canon. There is now a playable-demo of the sequel available here.
