Dementium: The Ward

A pretty old game, but still really fun. The game is described as linear, however due to the hospital's repetitive appearance, it's easy to get lost (for me, anyway). [spoiler]However, each Chapter basically has it's goal or objective stated- so as long as you "do the thing" before moving on, you won't miss anything. But if you breeze through a Chapter, sometimes you can miss a weapon or item.[/spoiler] I said the hospital was repetitive in backdrop, which yeah that's hospitals for you, but that's not to say it's not filled with atmosphere: e.g. spooky sounds, the rain beating on the windows, the groans, the blood, the fog- it's all there. It's really just teeming with atmosphere. The combat isn't super refined, but once you get the hang of it, you'll feel almost kinda tough if a few hits didn't make the health linked heart sounds pick up pace. Then [i]your[/i] heart starts to pick up in sympathy and you start getting a little twitchy. What a fun touch for such an old game. Good times, pick it up if on sale.

Cool game, worth the money.

I loved playing this as a kid, I played the 3DS version of this- and this plays exactly how I remember it on the 3DS, it plays really decent with a controller. And I just really hope that Moon gets the same treatment as this game as well.

An alright horror game overall, the refreshed look is great but the cutscenes are still pretty blurry. Definitely worth checking out for nostalgia but otherwise it's hard to say. The game does get boring by the second half due to everything being the same so I ended up just speeding running the game because there wasn't much to do. The final boss was also buggy, I gave up after I finished off his health bar and he still didn't go down.

Simple and fun. Considering it's a port from an old DS game, of course it has some slight issues but overall it's a good survival horror, well worth the time

This game is great. Loved playing on the DS. Played it a lot. I didn't need achievements to keep playing it. I love playing it so much I even bought the 3DS version. In that version they fixed glitches. They, the devs, even slow the running speed in the 3DS (which I wasn't happy about). I think I may know why the change of the running speed. First, it was because I found away to skip half the level which allows you to get the chainsaw early. Which made saving up on ammo easy (I have a video of this on my YouTube vidoe). My second thought on why they changed the running speed, is to add intense fright. The steam version is definitely the 3DS version. I can tell. The running speed gives it away. The music is great. It's a short game but that's alright. I do recommend it.
