D2 is a 1999 survival horror video game developed by WARP and published by Sega in Japan and the United States for Dreamcast. D2 is a sequel to D, despite having no connection to the first game whatsoever, save for the appearance and given name of the protagonist, Laura. This game was written and directed by Kenji Eno who also wrote and directed the original D. Development for D2 started as a premier game for the cancelled Panasonic M2 console, the successor for the 3DO console. In this early version, a pregnant Laura was to have been attacked by a supernatural force during a passenger... flight, her unborn child kidnapped from her womb, magically aged, and sent back in time. The player would have taken the role of Laura's son - now a teenager - trapped in a large, European castle, from which he had to escape while being assaulted by supernatural phenomena. The game was "about 50 percent finished" when Panasonic officially announced that the M2 was not going to be released, leaving WARP with no way to sell the title.
