Shocking. That's the easiest way to describe Dementium: The Ward. We're equally taken aback by the technical feat that developer Kid Renegade and upstart publisher Gamecock have managed to pull off, and that there's a terrifying first-person survival horror game that elicits genuine scares on the Nintendo DS. If澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Metroid Prime Hunters proved the platform detractors wrong, then Dementi🐓um proves them infinitely wronger.

From the moment you start up the game, you know you're in for something different. Right from the get-go you're assaulted with mysterious and horrific imagery, such as a unsettlingly large hellbeast dragging a speechless lass covered in blood across the dingy floor of a mental institution. Yikes indeed. 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Click hereto see what we mean. Seriously, the game is grisly and disturbing as all get out. Bu൲t perhaps describing it like a depression-era great aunt is underselling it.

The DS isn'ꦇt supposed to do FPS horror right? Those were our initial thoughts too, as you start out in a dark room with a layer of black fog. But as soon as you snag a flashlight (which is immediately), Dementium proves its worth by displaying vast areas, numerous enemies and lengthy corridors with disturbing zeal and no loss in framerate.
