Cult DS Horror Dementium: The Ward Heads to PC With Steam Release on Oct. 27

The 2007 handheld favorite returns with 4K output and optional CRT-style and 240p filters that preserve its original feel.

Overview

  • Renegade Kid’s remaster brings the hospital-set survival horror to PC after earlier reissues on Switch and PlayStation.
  • Coverage confirms support for 4K resolution along with retro display options including CRT scanlines and 240p.
  • The studio originally pitched the project to Konami as a Silent Hill game and was rejected, with a later DS-focused pitch also declined.
  • Recent write-ups note the new trailer’s look and pacing draw comparisons to Doom 3 rather than Silent Hill.
  • The 2007 Nintendo DS release built a cult reputation for delivering first-person horror on a dual-screen handheld.
