Line 12: ** ''D2'' makes Laura [[Do Not Run with a Gun\|stand still while fighting]]. * [[Legacy Character]]: In each entry, the main heroine is named Laura and has blonde hair. The surname changes to indicate each character is meant to be different. * [[Let's Play]]: supergreatfriend did a run through [http://lparchive.org/D-and-D2/ ''D'' and ~~D-2~~''D2'']. * [[Virtual Celebrity]]: Laura, as outlined above. Several of the cast members introduced in ''Enemy Zero'' also reappear in ''~~D-2~~D2'' in new roles. {{tropelist}} Line 19: * [[Bittersweet Ending]]: In the Good and Golden endings, Laura survives her ordeal, but {{spoiler\|was forced to kill her father}}. ** In his [[Let's Play]], supergreatfriend points out that this is more of a {{spoiler\|[[Downer Ending]], as Richter is dead, all the hostages are dead, and Laura now remembers what happened to Mommy. [[Emoticon\|D:]]}} * {{spoiler\|[[Dracula]]: The origins of Laura's family}}. * [[Eye Scream]]: The box art implies this, with bloody tears running down from mercifully shadow-veiled sockets. In-game, sharp and pointy things seem to love stopping ''juuuuust'' short of Laura's eyes... * [[Final Death]]: Couldn't make the time limit? Well, there goes two hours of your life. * [[For Science!]]: Richter implies this was why he allowed {{spoiler\|himself to succumb to Dracula's curse}} despite the fact that {{spoiler\|he'd seen Laura fall under it before and was able to reverse it then}}. He wanted to know how {{spoiler\|he would be affected}}. * [[Full Motion Video]]: The entire game is done in this fashion. * [[Gratuitous English]]: In the original Japanese 3DO version, the scene where a hand reaches out from the mirror in an attempt to grab Laura, there is creepy voice saying "Come here, little girl." For whatever reason, this voice was not carried over to the English ports. * [[Hint System]]: Laura's compact offers a single-screen vision hinting at what she should do next. Each time she does this, however, the mirror cracks a little more... [[Rule of Three\|If used three times]], it shatters. * [[I'm a Humanitarian]]: {{spoiler\|This is required to transform into Dracula. Laura attempted it in the past with a side of her mother's arm}}. * [[Loophole Abuse]]: A [[Real Life]] example: Inin order to ensure that ''D'' was published in the form he wished, Eno actually tricked the censors. First, he developed the game with no storyline, concealing the cutscenes from his own staff, then submitted a 'clean' version to the board for approval. He then delibrately submitted the master late, knowing that he would then have to deliver it by hand to the U.S. manufacturers. That gave him time to 'switch' the clean disc with the version he intended, [[Getting Crap Past the Radar\|bypassing the censors completely]]! <ref>And doubtlessly damaging his reputation with them once they figured out the ruse, but apparently that was [[Worth It]].</ref> * [[Mad Doctor]]: Richtor, who went on a killing spree, massacring his patients. * [[Mad Doctor]] * [[Multiple Endings]]: There are [[Four Is Death\|four]]: A [[Good Ending]] where Laura reaches her father {{spoiler\|and Just Shoots Him}}. A [[Golden Ending]] where along the way to the [[Good Ending]], Laura finds all of the glowing scarab beetles and views the optional cutscenes {{spoiler\|detailing her mother's death}}. A [[Bad Ending]] where Laura {{spoiler\|lets her daddy eat her so he can become Dracula}}. And the Time Elasped Ending where she fails to get through to Richter in time and {{spoiler\|falls through her pocket watch}}. * [[No-Nonsense Nemesis]]: Just shoot him? {{spoiler\|She ''does''... in the ~~good~~Good ~~ending~~Ending, at least}}. * {{spoiler\|[[Our Vampires Are Different]]: Laura and her lineage}}. * [[Poor Communication Kills]]: Seriously, Dad, you couldn't have warned Laura off ''before'' she entered your Mind Mansion? * [[Press X to Not Die]]: A brief QuickTime event occurs when Laura confronts {{spoiler\|the suit of armor}}. Failure doesn't mean immediate death; you merely fall into a pit, and have to waste time climbing back up. * [[Recut]]: ''D's Diner: Director's Cut'', a rare edition that included new sequences, background information on Laura and her family, and a soundtrack disc. * [[Save Game Limits]]: There are no saves. You can't even pause. * [[Spooky Painting]]: A painting of a little girl suddenly smiles and laughs when examined, suddenly swirling to briefly show a set of 4 animals. {{spoiler\|This shows the orientation of the miniature carousel the player should set it at to open the next door.}}. * [[The Stinger]]: If the player collected all the scarab beetles and got the Good Ending, the credits end with {{spoiler\|a baby's cry}}. * [[Timed Mission]]: You have a mere two hours to finish the game. If you fail to reach the ending in time... {{spoiler\|Laura falls into her pocketwatch. ...Wait, what?}}? {{reflist}} [[Category:~~Play Station~~PlayStation]] [[Category:Horror Video Games]] [[Category:Survival Horror]] [[Category:Short Titles]]
