Rogue-Like Horror Adventure RPG
That's a mouthful of a title, but World of Horror fits the bill. With a heavy emphasis on single-run playthroughs this game is meant to take about an hour of your time to tell you a unique horror story with absolutely tons of original events. With art inspired by Junji Ito and thematic elements taken from HP Lovecraft, you have a truly unique looking and feeling game. You will not feel "settled" while you play, even the music uses binaural frequencies to elicit unsettling feelings, and absolutely nothing in the game wants to help you. This means almost every character interaction is more about how little you get screwed over, rather than 'if' you do. Sure, if you stack a certain trait you may get passed one or two unscathed, but the reality is you are not supposed to beat the game easily. You are meant to suffer and fail. Over and over again. And this is where the Rogue-Like comes in, each time the events are randomly chosen, and if you die, that's it. Game over. Saving is almost not an option as you have to choose between sacrificing all of your skills or possibly also items in order to load the save back up. Truly a twisted option, but with games lasting the 1-hour mark you should be safe as long as you know you aren't going to be interrupted; otherwise treat it like it is 1984 for real (the year the game is based) and leave the window running. It is a small game and switching between the graphics options, including windowed modes, didn't seem to impact the title at all. The Adventure elements come from your ability to choose your investigations, hold a limited amount of items which may or may not interact with environmental or story factors, and it is all controlled through point and click input. The RPG elements come from the health and skill points, as well as magic and talents. Combat is turn based, and you select options which each have a "cast time" to fill an active battle gauge. Once it is full of commands you activate and your turn is over. Really great!
