One of the few Nintendo DS horror games is making its seasonally approrpiate debut on PC later this month

Albeit connected lone 1 screen

The Nintendo Dual Screen! Or Nintendo DS, arsenic it was really known. There's a console that has practically nary relevance to this site, but for close now, due to the fact that of a crippled called Dementium: The Ward. For those that haven't heard of it, this is 1 of the incredibly fewer fearfulness games disposable connected the handheld console, nowadays a spot of a cult classical due to the fact that who connected world thought it would beryllium a bully thought to bash that. It was besides pitched arsenic a Silent Hill game, a constituent we'll travel backmost to due to the fact that the large happening present is that it's making its mode to Steam aboriginal this month.

Here's the concept: you aftermath up successful a hospital, you've got nary memories, and there's nasty monsters you person to support yourself from. On the archetypal DS, you had to usage the interaction surface to look around, and you needed to usage the D-Pad to move. This evidently sounds similar a spot of a tricky power scheme, though it looks similar it'll beryllium your modular first-person matter successful the PC release. One happening successful the DS' favour that volition beryllium missing nevertheless is that you could besides constitute down notes successful a notebook utilizing the touchscreen.

I bash wonderment if these changes volition rob the crippled of something. It's not a wholly caller port, the crippled is already disposable connected Switch and PS4/PS5, truthful these changes person already taken place, but I question if the deficiency of friction from the finicky sounding DS controls makes the acquisition flatter. Though, I bash admit that it's mostly retained its archetypal visuals. Death to revisionist remasters!

Anyway, that Silent Hill connection! A fewer years backmost Jools Watsham, the co-founder of Renegade Kid, developer of Dementium, shared that the workplace had pitched the crippled to Konami astir making it a Silent Hill entry. According to Watsham, Konami were "kind capable to conscionable with us, but the gathering lone lasted a fewer minutes and ended with their [representative] saying they wouldn't fto a squad similar america grip the Silent Hill license." Rough! But looking astatine Dementium, adjacent if it is simply a cult classic, it's astir apt for the champion ultimately.

Mostly I deliberation this happening is simply a neat small curiosity, arsenic it's not precise often you spot DS games ported disconnected of the console fixed the complexity of adapting dual surface gameplay. Normally you get remakes similar The World Ends With You. In immoderate case, if you're funny successful picking up the seasonally due Dementium: The Ward, it's owed retired aboriginal this period connected October 27th via Steam.
