A terrifying journey into the macabre

WORLD OF HORROR is a premium horror RPG that immerses players in a nightmarish world of mysterious occurrences in the town of Shiokawa. Developed by panstasz, this indie roguelite game offers a truly engaging experience, challenging players to investigate the creepy phenomena and survive the relentless battles and trials imposed by the Old Gods' malevolent deeds.

WORLD OF HORROR offers a gripping narrative that draws inspiration from the works of horror maestros Junji Ito and H.P. Lovecraft. With its reference to Japanese folklore and urban legends, the game draws striking similarities with PARANORMASIGHT: The Seven Mysteries of Honjo.

Engaging gameplay with haunting aesthetics

WORLD OF HORROR sets a haunting and apocalyptic narrative, as the Old Gods awaken and wreak havoc upon the world. The town of Shiokawa becomes a breeding ground for unexplainable phenomena and strange appearances, pushing the sanity of its residents to the brink. The question of whether these occurrences are chaos or the workings of beings beyond human comprehension adds a layer of mystery and intrigue to the game.

Players must navigate a hellish reality where turn-based combat and unforgiving choices are their only means of survival. Dark rituals must be invoked, disturbing clues must be uncovered, and puzzles must be solved as players delve into the depths of multiple randomized mysteries. This ensures that no playthrough is ever the same. Moreover, with a choice of five unique characters, players can experience different perspectives in the game.  

To enhance the overall atmosphere, the game features a haunting chiptune soundtrack that perfectly complements its stark 1-bit art style. The entire game is drawn using MS Paint, resulting in a visually distinct and nostalgic aesthetic. It must be emphasized that the game is still in its Early Access phase, which means that potential changes to some of its aspects could occur. 

A unique blend of fear and nostalgia

In conclusion, WORLD OF HORROR offers players a truly terrifying experience with its macabre-filled narrative. With its complex gameplay mechanics, diverse character options, and multiple mysteries to solve, the game ensures that players will be engrossed from start to finish. Whether you're a horror enthusiast or an avid gamer, this game is a must-play for those who enjoy challenging and spine-chilling experiences.
