About This Game

PHASE ONE IS COMPLETE

The last thing William Redmoor remembers is the Doctor's scalpel. Now he wakes at the Bright Dawn Treatment Center with a new wound and an old accusation: the records say he murdered his wife.

In his cell, a postcard is waiting. The handwriting is his own. It tells him to run.

SOMETHING GOT OUT

The staff insist he's recovering. But since the surgery, reality has started to split, and the "hospital" keeps tearing open into a demented version of itself. The Doctor has a theory about why: whatever was wrong inside your head, we let it out!

BEYOND THE WALLS

Escaping Bright Dawn is only the beginning. Outside lies an empty village and a countryside crawling with things that shouldn't exist. Letters signed by his wife lead him deeper. She says she's waiting for him.

A BIGGER, DEADLIER SEQUEL

• Fight smarter. Hold your flashlight and weapon together, and jump and crawl through larger environments

• More weapons, more monsters, each demanding its own strategy

• Enemies stay dead. Clear an area, and it stays cleared

• Save points and a carry-anywhere inventory so you can use health when you need it, not just when you find it

• Beyond the asylum: a hospital, an abandoned village, and places far worse

[ Crisp or Crunchy? Your choice! ]

NEW TO DEMENTIUM?

You don't need to have played the first game to survive this one. Here's what you need to know.

In Dementium: The Ward, William Redmoor woke up in a hospital with no memory, surrounded by creatures that had no business being alive. Newspaper clippings claimed he had murdered his wife. Visions of his daughter led him deeper into the dark, while a man in black who called himself the Doctor watched every step.

William fought his way down to the basement to face him. It didn't end the way he hoped.

Dementium II begins where that ending left him: under the Doctor's knife.
