“More like this, please.”
Kotaku

““an adventure full of colorful characters, difficult decisions and a masterfully crafted magic-matching combat system.””
Indie Hangover

“...The World Next Door doesn’t need to be as cool as it is, with it’s impossibly hip Monster Prom meets Hotline Miami character designs and evil-cute aesthetic. And yet, here we are.”

As she encounters a colorful cast of otherworldly creatures, Jun must learn to rely on her new friends to get back to Earth before time runs out.

In The World Next Door, players will find an addictive mix of immersive visual novel elements, powerful storytelling and lightning-fast puzzle battles. Learn for yourself why The World Next Door was nominated for the 2019 SXSW Gamer’s Voice Award, selected for the 2019 Indie Mega Booth PAX East Showcase and awarded numerous accolades/nominations for Best Action-Adventure Game.
