Dementium II Key Features

A fractured horror story

Dementium II follows William Redmoor as he wakes in the Bright Dawn Treatment Center, faces an accusation about his wife, and encounters reality splitting around him.

Combat and traversal

Fight with a flashlight and weapon together, jump and crawl through larger environments, and adapt to monsters that demand different strategies.

Cleared areas stay clear

Enemies remain dead after you defeat them, so clearing an area gives you lasting progress through that space.

Flexible health and saving

Save points mark your progress, while a carry-anywhere inventory lets you choose when to use health instead of relying only on what you find.

Retro and modern presentation options

Choose sharper resolutions or a retro look, switch between modern and DS-style flashlight lighting, and turn off music that warns when enemies are near.

Adapted for PC

Dementium II brings the DS game to a single screen with an on-screen mini-map, mouse-and-keyboard or full controller support, and Steam Achievements.
