The Ward Preview

While we were surfing the halls at the Moscone Center during the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco last week, game developer Renegade Kid LTD. was out as well shopping around its original IP for the Nintendo DS: a survival horror-style first-person adventure by the name of "The Ward."

The Ward, currently without a publisher, puts players in the role of a man lost inside a mysterious hospital filled with horrifying beings. Players will have to use their smarts to figure their way out of this ward without, you know, dying while trying.

Players will look and aim via the touch screen, offering a similar control scheme to Metroid Prime: Hunters, GoldenEye: Rogue Agent, and Bionicle Heroes on the Nitnendo DS. The Ward will offer advanced 3D graphics and effects, including a real-time flashlight to really set the mood as players investigate the darkness.

Details are light on gameplay mechanics, but the development team hopes to have the game ready to go this fall.
