Dementium 2 Gets Steam Release Years After Nintendo DS Debut
Dementium 2, a horror title originally released on the Nintendo DS, is set to arrive on Steam more than 15 years later. Atooi has launched a Steam page for the port, giving the overlooked handheld game a new audience. The Dementium series stood out for bringing M-rated horror to Nintendo's DS platform.
Atooi has opened a Steam store page for Dementium 2, with a launch expected sometime this month. No exact date is confirmed, but the timing places it near Halloween. The first Dementium: The Ward came to Steam last year, so the sequel follows roughly a year later.
Originally a 2010 Nintendo DS title, Dementium 2 puts William Redmoor in Bright Dawn Treatment Center, accused of killing his wife. He faces strange creatures while the Doctor watches. Players solve puzzles, manage items, and fight, echoing older survival horror. A 2013 HD Steam version was handled by another studio without the original creators.
This re-release may give horror fans and PC players a chance to experience a handheld cult title, while preserving interest in older DS-era games. It could also benefit Atooi by testing demand for dormant horror properties. For game-history enthusiasts, it may highlight how M-rated horror once found an unlikely home on a Nintendo handheld. Its impact likely remains niche, but it may encourage similar ports of overlooked titles.
