DS gets Dementium News

DS News by Robert Purchese

5 June, 2007

The fantastically named Gamecock has unveiled a new survival-horror first-person shooter for DS.

It's called Dementium: The Ward and it tells the story of a man who wakes up in a weird hospital that's seemingly frozen in time. As you jump into his shoes and wander the halls of the infirmary you'll soon be confronted by all sorts of mutated and disfigured nasties - a little like Eurogamer Towers in the morning.

There will obviously be a fair amount of blasting going on, but there's also puzzles and a wacky support cast to add depth.

Developer Renegade Kid is touting the game as the first mature and scary game on the platform, mixing a blend of fancy 3D visuals with creepy audio and visceral gore to set your hair on end.

"Dementium showcases what a powerful piece of hardware the DS is, while drawing in a mature crowd that's looking for a title they can really sink their teeth into," said Jools Watsham, owner and creative director of Renegade Kid.

A release date for Dementium: The Ward has yet to be announced.

Head over to our Dementium: The Ward gallery for a look at the first screenshots.

Perhaps paving the way for RE and Silent Hill games?

The Resident Evil game for DS did pretty well in reviews, IIRC.

Touch the Dead on the DS got an adult rating, too.

So The Ward has been rebranded.

This better not just be an NoE thing. The Ward sounded better anyway. Hope to hear a date soon.

I think maybe the "atmosphere" needed for a scary game will be lacking on a handheld platform.

Hope I'm wrong, though.

I can't really imagine getting too scared by a postage stamp sized picture whilst sitting on the number 23 bus.

Possibly crap, but let us not forget variety= good thing.

Looking forward to the psp incarnation of Silent Hill, too.
