Many years later its reputation has increased, and has been praised for its unorthodox design and artistic merits. [[DeadArtistsAreBetter The death of Kenji Eno]] likely played a part in this too.

** Not being able to go back the way she came, the game also doesn't make it seem like Laura has any choice but to press on despite her father's apparition consistently appealing to her to "Leave before it's too late". Maybe that is the way to leave.

** The voice acting for Laura's father in ''D'' isn't very good. However, to be fair, the actor did a much better job screaming in a disturbing manner than acting out the regular dialog, such as in the scene where [[spoiler: he begins to transform]].
