First-Person Asymmetric Multiplayer Game ‘Nemesis: Distress’ Announced For PC

Published

on

Fans of the Nemesis board game can look forward to developers Ovid Works and Awaken Realms Digital’s Nemesis: Distress, a first-person multiplayer game adaption currently in development for PC, with a Steam release. Described as “a multiplayer-focused game with a hidden traitor aspect, as well as shooter and survival elements,” Nemesis: Distress has players playing through 40-minute scenarios to try to fulfill their secret objective and survive.

The story for Nemesis: Distress has players awakening from a cryosleep to discover that all hell has broken loose. Your ship is stuck in the middle of nowhere, with multiple systems compromised. Making matters worse is that you and the rest of the crew aren’t alone on the ship. You have no idea what happened, nor do you know who you can trust, as everyone has their hidden agendas.

Players choose one of the asymmetric character classes, all with special actions that come in handy during specific situations. They will also select the secret objective they have to fulfill in order to win the game. While the implant inside your character blocks any direct negative interaction with other members of the crew (such as shooting other crew members), there are plenty of indirect ways to make the lives of other players harder.

Not to mention that there will be the constant threat of evolving Intruders that slowly take over the ship. While it is possible to kill them, it’s not an easy task.

2007 FPS Horror Game ‘Dementium: The Ward’ Heads to PlayStation Today [Trailer]

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.
