Fans of survival horror will be thrilled to learn that atooi’s acclaimed 2007 title Dementium The Ward is making its console debut next month. Long available on other platforms, the disturbing first-person shooter will finally haunt the halls of PlayStation when it releases for PS5 and PS4 on April 19th.
As those familiar with the original release know, Dementium The Ward drops players into an abandoned insane asylum with no memory or explanation. All that is known is they must find a way out of the nightmarish facility. But the hospital hides sinister secrets and is prowling with disturbed creatures. Players will need to scavenge for weapons and supplies to have any hope of surviving the horrors within.
What Awaits Within The Asylum?
Much of the terror of Dementium The Ward comes from its unsettling atmosphere and unexplained events. Strange puzzles must be solved to progress deeper into the asylum, but they only serve to raise more questions. Who is orchestrating this nightmare, and what dark purpose do they have? Players will have to brave the asylum’s twisted confines if they hope to learn the truth and escape with their sanity intact.
With its pulse-pounding combat, elaborate puzzles, and deeply unsettling storyline, Dementium The Ward has rightfully earned its place as a survival horror classic since first terrifying players over 15 years ago. Next month, a new generation of PlayStation gamers will have the chance to experience the game’s disturbing world for themselves when it launches on April 19th. But those who enter the asylum had better be prepared for a night of sheer terror.
