‘Siren’ Celebrates Its Tenth Anniversary With a Manga Adaptation
The fantastic survival horror game Siren sees its tenth anniversary — in North America, at least — and what better way to celebrate something like that than with a manga adaptation? All right, another Siren game would be substantially more exciting, but when it comes to this hugely underrated series, I’ll take what I can get. The manga, titled The Call of the Red Sea, will be illustrated by Wataru Kamio, with a story by Keiichiro Toyama and Naoko Sato.
The manga will arrive later this year in the manga magazine Shin Mimibukuro Atmos.

In a blast from the past, developer atooi will release today Dementium: The Ward for the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5. The first-person horror shooter originally got its start on the Nintendo DS back in 2007, before making its way to the 3DS in 2015, and finally landing on the Switch last October.
The PlayStation version of Dementium offers up “crunchy retro” and revamped HD display modes (presumably, this is similar to the free update the Switch version received last year), and has been “built from the ground up for the big screen”. Obviously, the game will lose its touchscreen capabilities from the Nintendo consoles, but will still run at a silky 60 frames per second.
Dementium: The Ward centres around William Redmoor, a man with amnesia, who wakes up in a seemingly abandoned medical ward. He soon finds out that he’s not quite as alone as he initially thought, as demonic creatures are roaming the hospital. Equipped with a flashlight and a nightstick, William must not only fend off the creatures, but also solve puzzles and find the exit and escape.
No word on if the sequel, Dementium II (which was also originally released in 2007 for the Nintendo DS), will be given the same treatment.
