“没有选择视觉小说反而是玩起了跑团和回合制战斗，不出所料做成了一部无脑点点点拼数值的游戏，从游戏的第二个小时就开始觉得无聊了。首先游戏的画风没啥问题，怪物的立绘和场景的氛围感都十分足够，像素风也营造出了黑白漫画的感觉画风很棒。再来说说怪谈，怪谈和随机事件的数量可谓是这款游戏的第二个优点了，但是光有数量没有质量，每篇怪谈就开了个头，过程还有结尾都水的要死，像是为了怪谈而怪谈，完全没有细思极恐的回味感。”

“Absolutely an instant cult classic.”

“Easily one of the most engaging RPG experiences I’ve played this year.”

“There aren’t many horror games like this... Games that are so well-oiled, they’re confident their horror will spread all over you just by touching them.”
Kotaku

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.
