    Should have stayed only on DS, where its style and gameplay feel more welcome. The enhanced graphics are a nice touch that bring the PC version up to low-budget, indie standards. I applaud its use of 1:1 mouse aim. I know some huge-budget games that do NOT get this right! This game is fun if you like simple progression and retro style gameplay.

This game is fun if you like simple progression and retro style gameplay. I haven't gotten far, but based on what I've seen, there's no story to encourage you to progress. You progress to see what happens next, which is usually more of the same weird stuff, but some different stuff. There's nothing even half as scary as some of the best indie horrors. Now, onto technical issues... Vsync does not play well. There is tearing regardless of setting, and if you force it thru the gpu driver, there is stuttering when walking. So in order to play it, I must endure screen-tearing in a single player game... yay. Every time I launch the game, it defaults to windowed mode, even tho I have it set to fullscreen in options (alt+enter fixes it). On the bright side, to make the atmosphere a tad bit more pleasing, enable HBAO+ in Nvidia Inspector with this compatibility flag "0x00000003" and also enable FXAA. $10 seems like the right price for its value.… Expand

    There is a clear advantage over the Nintendo DS version – it is much easier to shoot monsters using keyboard and mouse. But why on Earth would someone play this silly, buggy, boring parody of a horror game?

    If you've exhausted Steam's survival horror library, Dementium II HD will scratch your genre itch. Unfortunately, that itch has already been rubbed raw by much better games.

    Attempting to play this HD remake of Dementium II is an experience more horrifying than anything presented in the game.
