The Developer Says...

Classic DS horror reborn. Step into the twisted halls of Dementium: The Ward, the cult classic survival horror that redefined handheld terror, now remastered for PC supporting 4K resolution.

Setting

Awakening alone in a derelict hospital with no memory of how you got there, you’ll confront grotesque creatures, unravel a chilling mystery, and struggle to survive with nothing but improvised weapons and your wits. Every flicker of light, every echo in the corridor, every drop of blood tells a story you won’t forget.

Overview

Originally a groundbreaking horror experience on the Nintendo DS, Dementium: The Ward has been reborn for a new generation with enhanced visuals, smoother controls, and the same relentless atmosphere that made it infamous. Equal parts survival challenge and psychological nightmare, it’s a journey into darkness that fans of Silent Hill and Doom 3 cannot miss.

Will you escape the ward… or will you be consumed by it?
