Guys, do you know Firefly? Neat science-fiction TV series from early 2000? It was cool, one of the best pieces of imaginative fiction ever created. Unfortunately was canceled only after one season, due to corporate meddling, greed and incompetence, later haphazardly finished with a stand-alone movie. Not even petitions from fans could save the project. Why am I writing this here? Because D4: Dark Dreams Don’t Die it’s a Firefly of a video games. Great piece of interactive storytelling MURDERED by corporate greed, real life director’s problems and Microsoft idiotic behaviour. Created by SWEARY65, the guy behind Deadly Premonition games, D4 was one of those games that is so unique that you cannot forget about it long after you stop playing. Imagine a game in the style of Walking Dead or The Wolf Among Us, but on steroids, oozling with style, unique characters, insane plot, and cool, so much cool… But it is pointless now. The game is unfinished. It has only a prologue and two chapters. It ends on a cliffhanger. And it will never be finished. We will never know what happened in the story. Since the release of this game 10 years have passed. SWEARY himself stated that he is not interested in continuing, even when he could get right to the game. So now we can only weep and dream about reality, where both Firefly and D4 had proper closure. But hey, I replayed this only to get 100% achievements, so instead of writing about the game, I will say a word or two about the ones that pissed me off the most. Master Interrogator (for doing every side dialogue option) — this one is semi-bugged. If you start an episode from the chapter selection screen and miss EVEN ONE dialogue with the NPC, the progress of said chapter will reset to zero. So better if you do all chapters normally. Hard Worker (for collection 100k credits) — oh yes, I love it, grinding. In the story oriented, point and click adventure game that you can complete in 4 hours max. I beat the game three times to unlock almost all others achievements and still got only 70k credits. I was forced to play this stupid clover touch minigame to grab the last 30k. Like, why am I doing this to myself? Why do I waste time from my life just to collect virtual badges? Master Record Collector (for getting 20 music records) — this one is the worst. You can buy 19 tracks normally in Amanda’s shop. 20th is available only as a random drop in box you can get every in real life hour. Yes, you read this correctly. THERE IS A GATCHA MECHANIC IN SINGLE. PLAYER. ADVENTURE. GAME. And I'm going to repeat myself — you got one box with loot (like food, drinks, clothes inside) for every IN REAL LIFE hour. No game hour, IRL hour. So you cannot pause the game and wait, you need to play it regularly. The only good news is that there are only 20 boxes. Thank God alt+tab working. I left the main character standing in his house and: cleaned my room, watched some movie, grabbed a pizza, watched a few yt videos, played different games… and guess what? I got the last music record In the NINTH BOX. It was around 3:30 AM when I got it. And I bet this was a SWEARY idea. Him, Suda 51, Shinji Mikami and Hideo Kojima are four horsemen of dickishness in video games. Now. It's over. Go home or something.

What a ride. This game is SWERY's best game to date. The attention to detail is superb. The character's are fun, well made and quirky. Good OST. Love it 10/10

This game is a bizarre trip set in the same universe as Deadly Premonition. I am just sad that Sweary65 will never be able to finish its tale. Even though it will never be complete, it's still worth experiencing what we did receive.

It's a real shame that this game never got a continuation because it's actually a really cool idea. I'm not a huge fan of the control method (which only uses the mouse), the frame rate is weird and modifying it to not be weird causes some desync on voices in cutscenes, and the doctor guy talks way too slow. Other than that, though, this is a really unique mystery story that unfortunately gets cut short right when it starts getting good. I would still recommend playing it, or at least looking up a synopsis of what the game's story was like on YouTube. All of the characters in this game are super wacky, too. There was personality just oozing from it. I'm really sad I can't see more.
