Really like being able to immerse myself in this Ito-ian, Lovecraftian world. Fantastic music, great art style, played it loads and still learning more about the systems still now
the juni ito-like artwork is great, the cases are weird, the color schemes to pick from are a ton of fun, and it is full of loecraftian horror! definitele fun to play and scratch that itch for a quick 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.
