The A.V. Club writes: "Horror requires intimacy. Without it, everything potentially scary in supernatural horror becomes silly instead of terrifying. Sitting under a blanket with a flashlight, in your living room on a windy evening—or even in a movie theater full of people impatient to scream—it’s possible to properly appreciate things that go bump in the night. Which is why making horror games for portable systems is such a questionable ambition. It’s almost impossible to get freaked out in the places you’re most likely to use your Nintendo DS, and while the bathroom is certainly an intimate locale, it just isn’t the same. That issue of venue is the first hurdle on Dementium II’s path to success. Renegade Kid’s horror sequel manages to clear it, but stumbles over questionable design and cliché shortly thereafter."
Cult County is an awesome Kickstarter in dire need of your support! The minds behind the Dementium games have created an all-new horror game for your enjoyment.
580k to start with is a big LOL. Seems as fun as Flying Hamster 2 started with 150k and still struggling.
Memetic Games has released some new gameplay screens taken from their next survival horror.
Definitely looks like the high-resolution DS game that it is, just with a few minor graphical improvements.
Still, that said, I loved the game on the DS and I am still looking forward to this.
Hardcore Gamer: As this new trailer demonstrates, Dementium II's design has as much in common with Doom 3 as it does with the likes of Amnesia and Outlast. The video shows off a number of gruesome creatures (including the deliciously named Goregamesh) that players will be able to fend off with sledgehammers, dynamite, and that classic tool of teenage vandalism: the improvised flamethrower.
