After being available in Early Access for a while, v1.0 of World of Horror has arrived on PC. To accompany the launch of this horror title inspired by the works of Junji Ito and H.P. Lovecraft, a new trailer was aired:

​

WORLD OF HORROR follows the rural residents of a seaside Japanese town facing inhuman terrors, as reality frays and tears at the edges. Investigate the eldritch mysteries striking your town, and seek the truth behind the depredations of man and monster. Solve puzzles to collect precious items and arcane spells. Struggle against malevolent legends of Japanese folklore while trying to hold onto your sanity and survive in this horrific 1-bit roguelite RPG.

World of Horror is available out of Early Access on PC (Steam and GOG) and will launch on Switch and PS4 on October 26th.

Yes <3 Played a bit of the Early Access - and I really liked it. Tough, but exciting.

I've had this on my wishlist for a while... but now I'm toying with ordering the PS4 physical release from PlayAsia.

I can't imagine what the gameplay will be like.

Looks like it might be amazing, but also based on the trailer and inspirations, it looks like maybe it's trying too hard.

Definitely not that. Is a simplified point and click game like what you’d see with a MS DOS game (monochrome)

similar to the original clocktower? horror themed?

Yes very Junji Ito inspired. Destinations are static images with a bit of animation from characters. Gameplay looks to be like a VGA DOS title (Mindscape’s Deja Vu comes to mind) with a few visual modernizations and combat mechanics

Honestly…the trailer may go a bit too hard for the gameplay that this is. As an outsider, I thought this was going to be 3rd person like Alone in the Dark or Another World but with Japanese Junji Ito themes.
