Sorry if I'm breaking any rules, this is my first post here.

I'm hoping someone can help me track down a D-Mod I played as a kid. I don't remember too many details, but I believe it was about the end of the world. There was some kind of black mass taking over, and Dink was trying to escape it (or something along those lines). I can't provide much more about the plot since I didn't understand English at the time, but I did make a rough mockup from memory of what it looked like.

Here's the image.

This D-Mod has been stuck in my head for years, and despite scouring the site several times, I haven’t been able to find it. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

That's the one! Thank you so much for your help!

Also, what would be the best way to play this? I've been out of the loop for over a decade, and I read somewhere that Dink Smallwood HD might not be the best version. Any recommendations?

2nd generation. No easy way to be free. 
YeOldDink is (IMHO) the most compatible and is also "up to date" with a few useful features.

The nation above all. 
TBH, Dink HD these days is a fine option - at least on Windows.

But I do recommend YeOldeDink, it's the version I use. I can vouch for it's compatibility. And the Martridge launcher is IMO better then Dink HD's buildt in D-Mod installer.

Only issuse I can think of is that it doesn't have all the original sound effects for licensing reasons. And some of the music. It has replacements for them, though I did not use that version of Dink data. If you actually want the original sound effects, it's a bit of technical work you'll have to do. But if you want to simply just play the game, you probably won't care that much.

Also, if you use Linux, YOD is an obvious best option.
