WORLD OF HORROR

A game like none other I've played. A creative masterpiece and a cosmic treat. Visual art, writing, and mechanics are refined to perfection in this manga horror investigation game

At first the game seems very straightforward but with the newer mysteries in the most recent update and tons of really well done content most people will miss, World of Horror’s strength lies in its ability to be unexpected. After playing a lot, like really a lot, you may get to know basically every event and all the mysteries but there’s enough to last players hours that will constantly catch them off guard and barely give them a rest, especially on harder difficulties. The art style also finds ways to continue being unnerving with its mix of Junji Ito and old Japanese DOS aesthetics. The battles can be rewarding some of the time, especially when you clap a ghost away by chance, but for the most part they’re a desperate struggle that you’ll be really tempted to run from. There’s tons of references to horror games, Japanese horror movies, and even some unrelated pop culture. There’s even an entire mission oozing with references to the movie Suicide Club. The music really fits well almost all of the time, and tends to stick with you for a while even after playing it. Most importantly, the mysteries and even campaigns are pretty short so if you do feel the urge to try to get different endings you can really mess around in order to figure things out for yourself an not rely on the wiki. So definitely get it and try it and make sure something truly evil gets you within its grasp.

0 communication from the developer in either Discord, Twitter or Steam. Comes back onces per year (if at all) makes some small update, and disappears again. Zero explanations. Modders put more effort and work that its developer.

So it's impossible to play the game, as it immediately goes to the "game over" screen. Given how apparetly it only gets a single (minor) update a year and last one was 4 months ago, I doubt it'll be playable anytime soon.

I am not blessed by the RNG gods.. Still fun though.
