A time traveling detective has to solve his wife’s murder before he can prevent it. Use his supernatural ability to “dive” into the world of the living past by touching artifacts called “mementos” to find out the truth behind his wife’s death.
About the story
This is the story of a man with a very strange fate. His name is David Young – formerly with the Boston PD Narcotics Unit, now a private detective. He possesses the supernatural ability to “dive” into the world of the past by touching left-behind items called “mementos.” Two years ago, Young’s wife was killed by an unknown assailant. In her last breath, she told him to “Look for D.” From that moment on, the search for 'D' became Young's whole life – nothing more, nothing less. Suddenly, he receives a case that might be related to 'D.' This case revolves around a courier for a drug called “Real Blood” who vanished after coming forward to testify against a drug lord known as “D.” Apparently, he vanished from thin air while being escorted to Boston in an airplane. Finding the vanished courier could lead to the identity of 'D.' If Young obtains a memento that could take him back to that fateful day… then perhaps he’d be able to change his destiny. And so, David Young dives into the case of the vanishing courier, as the wheels of fate begin to churn once more...

By Daniel QuesadaA clear demonstration that a Kinect experience, if designed well, can be a lot of fun.
PCMag
By Jeffrey L. Wilson, Timothy TorresSwery's trippy, time-traveling tale of love and murder is one of the best point-and-click adventure games on PC. If you like strong stories, humor, and memorable characters, get this game.
Cubed3
By Albert LichiD4: Dark Dreams Don't Die is such an unsatisfying adventure game due to it ending way before it even truly begins. All of the elements were in the right place for a worthy successor to one of the greatest cult surprises from last gen, thanks to Swery's ambitious creative choices and boldness to have stat management in an otherwise non-skill oriented genre. Sadly, all of these flourishes are painfully undermined because of the story's abrupt cliff-hanger that is not built up to. The way D4 leaves so many plot threads unresolved and with no proper climax is guaranteed to frustrate anybody who plays this. The future of D4 is very unclear if it will ever get resolution, and while there has been an announcement of a second season, there is no indication that it will conclude the story of David Young. This game is very hard to recommend because, while it is interesting and is not like anything else available, it is also a massive tease with no promise of satisfaction.
Pardis Game
By mstDark Dreams Don't Die is a good serial title that can entertain you for a few hours and bring you the experience of a hearty edone. A game that allows you to thoroughly search its environment and test your detectiveness.
Twinfinite
By Stan GuderskiD4: Dark Dreams Don't Die is far from perfect. Like Deadly Premonition before it D4 suffers from awkward controls, and some frustrating nonsensical mechanics.
