WORLD OF HORROR

I don't think I've ever played anything quite like world of horror, and I have to say I've really enjoyed it. It feels in a similar vein to games like Darkest Dungeon, where it's not so much about avoiding things going wrong (they will), but in trying to mitigate the damage. It has a lot of replay value, and I find the atmosphere it creates to be very good. It feels a bit like playing an adventure board game, like Arkham Horror, but in digital form. You go through a series of random events, often ones which go badly, and try your best to stay alive til the end as anything and everything slowly wears down your health, sanity, or speeds the apocalyptic awakening of an old god. I'm leaving off a star for two reasons: 1. The game is very dense and confusing when you first start, and has quite a learning curve for what is honestly a fairly simple game at its core. I know the goal was to imitate old game UI, but I think the complexity of it does the game a disservice, and it could be significantly streamlined in any number of ways to make for a more enjoyable experience. 2. The atmosphere is really amazing in this game, but I find that the way the stories unfold often doesn't quite live up to the atmosphere they're creating. They can feel very disjointed, and while the gameplay is fun, it often feels like you are doing random events until the story is ready to be ended. There's no obvious way to influence the story you're part of, really. There are a few exceptions to this, with some of the mysteries you undertake having a really different structure where you go to a different place and have totally different options for exploration. I think these are the best, though they have the downside of being less replayable in some ways. The festival mystery strikes a really good balance between the two styles I think, for example.

Love the concept ! with this A.D old school in 1bit it's realy interesting, I realy hope a french translation for the future realese. Thanks for the Dev, thank you GOG

This plays turn by turn like a very convoluted board game, but since you don't have to look up the rules, it gets easy to follow really quickly. It's horror themed, but the aesthetic makes it a strange blend of horror-nostalgia that I really enjoyed. Runs are short and you won't see everything even after many of them, so it stays fresh and there is progression so you'll want to go back and try new things. There's also mods!

Is to click more things; it seems hit or miss what you can engage and what you can't. That's my biggest frustration really. The stories and encounters and fun and freaky, like they are supposed to be.

It is a really fun game. Definitely something worth a playthrough or a few.
