Renegade Kid Signs with Gamecock Media Group
New Development House Creating “Dementium: The
Ward” – Survival Horror FPS for Nintendo DS
Renegade Kid today announced that they will be
working with Gamecock Media Group to launch their first title – Dementium: The
Ward for the Nintendo DS™. Dementium: The Ward combines action-adventure,
first-person shooter and survival horror into one nightmarish experience.
Pushing the limits of the Nintendo DS with full 3D visuals, this “next
generation” title will set the bar for mature handheld games.
“Renegade Kid is looking to move above and beyond
what most games are attempting on the DS, and with Gamecock we’ve found a
publisher who is supportive, developer friendly, and willing to give us the
freedom to create the game we want,” said Jools Watsham, Owner and Creative
Director of Renegade Kid. “Dementium showcases what a powerful piece of hardware
the DS is, while drawing in a mature crowd that’s looking for a title they can
really sink their teeth into.”
“From the first meeting, Renegade Kid have proven
themselves to be innovative, unafraid to push the ‘norms’ of gaming and
incredibly talented – all of which we think are the key characteristics of a
great developer,” said Harry Miller, Head of Development of Gamecock Media
Group. “It’s great when you can sit down with a developer who shares the same
vision of where games should be going in creating new and exciting titles to
offer an alternative to the bland remakes and sequels flooding stores today.”
Dementium: The Ward tells the tale of a man who
awakens to find himself alone in a mysterious, derelict hospital that is frozen
in time. Confronted by the deadly, grotesque surgical experiments that wander
the halls, a series of challenging puzzles and a cast of peculiar characters, he
must face his deepest fears, unlock the mysteries of the hospital, and escape
with his life. A completely new experience on the Nintendo DS, Dementium
promises to creep you out with gory visuals and bone-chilling audio that brings
the world screaming to life.
