Digging Into Dementium: The Ward (Br Br Deng)

Eighteen years ago Dementium: The Ward released for the Nintendo DS and it was one of the only horror titles on the mostly kid-friendly console. I was busy playing Resident Evil: Deadly Silence at the time and I let the game's release slip away from me. Just a few weeks ago the remaster finally dropped on Steam and I got to play the game for the very first time. So, how does it hold up by today's standards and what can be said about the game's enduring legacy?
