“What truly makes World of Horror special are the little things. Watching the world deteriorate with every successful investigation is chilling.”
Kotaku

“It’s almost soothing to click through the game’s Rolodex of abominations, hoping to unlock something you haven’t seen before. There is no reason for me to continue playing right now, and yet I keep doing it.”
The Verge

“It’s an exceptionally well-realized throwback to early text-based RPGs, and with simple images and descriptive text, it shows how the power of horror can be effectively channeled in any medium.”
4.5/5 – Bloody Disgusting​

The Old Gods are reawakening, clawing their way back into a world that’s spiraling into madness. In hospitals, abandoned classrooms, quiet apartments, and dark forests, strange appearances and unexplainable phenomena test the sanity of residents in Shiokawa, Japan. Is it chaotic retribution, or the machinations of beings beyond our comprehension?

This is WORLD OF HORROR: The end of the world is nigh, and the only solution is to confront the terror reigning over the apocalypse. Navigate this hellish, roguelite reality through turn-based combat and unforgiving choices in this roguelite-style cosmic horror RPG.

Invoke dark rituals, uncover disturbing clues, and solve puzzles across multiple randomized mysteries. Each perplexing case unravels into a series of random encounters with nightmarish figures inspired by the works of horror legends Junji Ito and H.P. Lovecraft.

• Choose from five unique characters and solve over 10 mysteries in Early Access.
• Most mysteries harbor multiple endings - for those that survive long enough.
• Acclaimed wordsmith Cassandra Khaw (Hammers On Bone) lends her talents to the words articulating the game’s terrors.
• A haunting chiptune soundtrack accentuates the game’s stark 1-bit art style, drawn 100% in MS Paint.

So, playing as the new character, she has a mechanic that serves as a sort of time limit, but I ended up breaking the game because Perception is her best stat... so here's how this game ended up.

So, found the ending to the new mystery. And it's...

The implications of this one really is pretty horrific.

Currently playing with the new update, and holy shit this new "Mimi's Little Project" challenge is pretty grisly.

Plus there's a new Old God to stave off!

Just downloaded off Steam Deck can't wait to try this game. Love the old Macintosh-like graphics already.

It's absolutely fantastic, I've been playing it since it came out of alpha (having played the alpha version years before) and entered its official beta stage in 2019.

Pantasz is doing a fantastic job.
