Would you like this on your wall? The first 1,000 people in the US and Canada to pre-order Dementium II at an “authorized retailer” (including Amazon and GameStop) and send their mailing addresses and scans of their receipts to: “dementiumii [at] southpeakgames [dot] com,” will receive this poster, signed by Renegade Kid’s Jools Watsham and Gregg Hargrove. Surely, there’s room on your wall between the Muramasa scroll and the shelf you nailed up to rest your Mario lunchpail upon on its days off.
The Dementium II poster was previously given away in a Halloween promotion, but was apparently popular enough among hand-from-face fans to warrant a return engagement. Speaking of Dementium II and creepy imagery, SouthPeak opened a teaser site for the horror sequel. You can visit it here … if you dare! Which you probably do.

Having not played Renegade Kid’s first survival/horror-FPS on the Nintendo DS back in 2007, Dementium: The Ward, I had few expectations going into my recent hands-on with the game’s sequel, the aptly titled Dementium 2. I knew that the first game enjoyed critical acclaim for more than adequately bringing survival/horror tropes to Nintendo’s handheld, and ultimately scored pretty well with reviewers, but ever since Metroid Prime Hunters I’ve been wary of first-person mechanics on the DS.
Thankfully, when first faced with manipulating Dementium 2’s main character, it became quickly obvious that the game’s slow pace helps to account for any discomfort issues that might arise from the control scheme. Over the course of 45 minutes, I put together puzzles, traveled between two dimensions multiple times, and even fought a boss who tried to throw up on me from the ceiling (what a jerk!). Though its content and storytelling seems to be a carefully crafted amalgam of games from the three or so genres it mashes up (fps, adventure, survival/horror) – a handheld Half-Life meets Silent Hill on Monkey Island, almost – the time I spent with a preview build of Dementium 2 earlier today felt like the beginning of what could be a very interesting game.

Renegade Kid has released screens of Dementium II. We’ve already had a gander at the game’s super freaky box art, but this is the first glimpse we’ve had of the actual game. The screens look very promising for a DS game, especially the lighting. Granted, it’s hard to be as freaked out by such tiny screen shots, but we’re missing the sound effects and music that properly set off the atmosphere. Based solely on the images, we’re eager to see some more. Preferably in motion.
Check out the first screens in the gallery below.

Regardless of how good Renegade Kid’s
Dementium II turns out to be — probably pretty good, given the
reception of the first game — one thing is not in dispute: It’s got the creepiest damned box we’ve seen in a long time. It’s the sort of thing you don’t keep out in the open, the sort of box you make
sure is stuffed deep down in the darkest drawer you have. You know, right next to your copy of

Speaking on his personal YouTube video blog, Renegade Kid’s Jools Watsham has given some clarification to the early 2010 release date of Dementium II. Watsham notes that Renegade Kid is due to finish the master by the end of July, saying that the release is slated for “February-ish.” He elaborates that the company will hopefully spend the next month focusing on “editing and polishing and tweaking.” After that its time for the alpha and beta phases of development, and then the game will be sent to Nintendo.
Watsham also mentions the Renegade Kid’s other project Maximillian and the Rise of the Mutant Mudds, saying that the company has been talking to publishers and will hopefully have something to announce “in the next couple of weeks.” Check out the video after the break.

This week on the Nintendo Channel, there’s a variety of new videos for Wii games, but our favorite piece of video content has to be the teaser for DS sequel Dementium II above. It combines two of our most favorite things: mono-toned speech and quick cuts to scary faces. Seriously, this thing has a quease factor of about 8, which, we’re told, is quite high. You’ve been warned!

Renegade Kid is apparently working on a kid-friendly platformer for the DS while it develops a sequel to Dementium. The developer showed IGN that its other new project is Maximillian and the Rise of the Mutant Mudds. Players will use a water pack (think Mario Sunshine) to double-jump chasms of doom and squirt the baddies to death.
Renegade Kid plans to push its already impressive technical knowledge with the DS even further with Mudds. The developer doesn’t know if it’ll go the retail route or check out DSIware, and there isn’t so much as an inkling of a release window. Check out a video of the game after the break.
