Dementium: The Ward is a survival horror first-person shooter game developed by Renegade Kid for the Nintendo DS.

Unused Maps

A few unused levels can be loaded if you mess around with the theWard.ini file.

5fw_023

An empty toilet room.

7fw_008

An unused corridor on the seventh eastern floor that has a door with a code lock, and there's also a small guard room with a shotgun in the gun cabinet. The code lock on the wall is inactive, the passage behind the only active door is barricaded, which means that developers were planning to make the 7th floor much more complex.

7fw_009

Attempting to load the map will crash the game.

Unused Enemies

enemy_fb (Feast Beast)

FeastBeast's model, found in the game files.

An impressive looking monster, which was supposed to climb walls, crawl on ceilings, and eviscerate to get its meal. He was planned for The Ward from the very beginning, and even presented in the very first teaser trailer, but was cut from the final version. His model is still present in the game files, but it seems that he doesn't have any animations.


@Gregg Hargrove says on Twitter:

FeastBeast didn't make it for a few reasons but mostly because it ended up not working properly and we didn't have time to fix it.

enemy_mw (Mindless Wanderer)

Mummy-like bandaged corpses which were replaced by Chest Maws in the middle of development, as they were deemed "Not scary enough". They were shown in many prerelease screenshots.

This enemy can be partially restored in the game by replacing some strings in the arm9.bin executable, however his AI is broken and because of that he's not able to attack you.
