As you progress through the game you realize you're shifting between parallel universes, but early on it's difficult to tell whether it's actually happening or if it's just all in your head. The mystery unfolds as you move through the hallways, and you're introduced to the off-putting and seemingly random mechanic of sliding from location to location. In this sequel, you waken on a gurney in a locked cell with absolutely no knowledge of who you are or why you're there. Like the original Dementium, Dementium II isn't going to scare the bejeezus out of you, but it'll certainly give you the willies with creatures that giggle maniacally at you as you shoot them point blank, or scream as they float effortlessly over your head while you investigate the blood-soaked halls of Bright Dawn Treatment Center. But it does link to the first game with similar enemies and a familiar mature, violent, and bloody setting. Dementium II isn't really a direct sequel to the first game's story as it's a standalone adventure with new characters and a fresh, creepy locale.
