Preview by Jeremy
DS-owning survival horror fans have had very little to choose
from, giving Renegade Kid a chance to satiate the desires
of the genre’s fans with its disturbing and gory adventure.
Dementium looks to raise the bar for DS games visually, while
adding more variety to the genre’s traditional gameplay
style by merging puzzle, action-adventure, and rst-person
shooting elements into its gameplay.
Its story begins with the weary protagonist waking up to nd
himself alone in a dreary, derelict hospital that has been frozen
by the cruel hands of time. Afterwards, he encounters the
sickening results of the now-mutilated surgical experiments
wandering the halls. Only by conquering them, his deepest
fears, and a series of challenging puzzles can he nd out the
secrets of the hospital that has detained him. If he can do this,
he just might escape with his life (and if he’s really lucky, his
sanity) intact.
Unfortunately, few details have been released about the nuts
and bolts of the gameplay. Presumably, Dementium will allow
you to further maim the surgical victims with weapons in an
effort to nd clues about why you’re there, and allow you to
explore the hospital in order to dig up as much information as
possible to unravel its mysteries.
While Renegade Kid is a new developer, its crew has a lot of
experience, and does seem dedicated to offering up something
beyond the standard fare for the genre. If their dedication
pays off, we could be treated with a refreshing survival horror
game that leads to further innovation for the genre. It looks
like they’re well on their way to at least crafting the most
disturbing genre entry ever created for a portable.
