“音樂及畫面都走復古電玩風格的單人克蘇魯跑團遊戲,遊戲有基本教學,但除了實際玩過一輪,我覺得還是上網查心得會比較容易上手。致敬伊藤潤二加上克蘇魯,各個角度畫風可以說是十足的血腥獵奇,讓人玩得很過癮。經典模式一輪約30-60分鐘結束,本作很吃擴充內容,未來只要持續更新,這會是很值得體驗的遊戲,目前還在搶先體驗,謎團及遭遇事件數量有限,但我覺得完成度已經有一定了,推薦給喜歡恐怖都市傳說的玩家們,”

About This Game



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.

  • Unveil the fates of 14 unique playable characters, and choose your path through a pool of 20 dreadful investigations.
  • Most mysteries harbor multiple endings - for those that survive long enough.
  • A haunting chiptune soundtrack accentuates the game’s stark 1-bit art style, drawn 100% in MS Paint.

Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

In WORLD OF HORROR, there are frequent scenes disturbing and horrific scenes of implied violence, gore and mutilation of human bodies. All such scenes are presented in a 2D pixel art style, but nonetheless may have a realistic triggering impact on players with potential sensitivities. Player discretion is advised.

In addition, the game includes casual usage of cigarettes.
