FULL STORY
======================================================================

New Junji-Ito and Lovecraftian horror game World of Horror is set to release 
later this year, and so far the retro horror RPG looks like itll be more than 
just an unsettling game. 

This years already been very kind to horror fans with the likes of Amnesia: 
The Bunker and The Outlast Trials providing some spine-chilling content. But 
thanks to publisher Ysbryd Games and developer Panstasz the fun isnt over 
yet. 

 World of Horror s release date is confirmed for October 19, 2023, and will 
be available on PC, PS5 , PS4 , and Nintendo Switch . What better way to 
spend your October than by having a Horrifying Halloween with the Old Gods? 

Set in a small seaside town, this roguelike is reminiscent of the unsettling 
fictional town named Kurouzu-cho seen in Junji Itos popular spiral-centric 
horror manga series Uzumaki . The art-style of World of Horror is also 
clearly a homage to Junji Itos works as it emulates a manga in its grainy 
vintage Macintosh graphics. 

The announcement trailer that was released four years ago first showcased the 
queasy nature of this upcoming horror roguelike. The minute-long trailer 
depicted mysterious threats of unspeakable monstrosities and arcane rituals 
lurking behind every corner. Theres creepy masked killers, strange cases of 
wiggling worms in jars, and vomit-inducing impromptu eye surgery, the 
trifecta for any self-respecting horror game. 

There are plenty of clues and trinkets to be found so be sure to explore 
every corner of this dying town 

 World of Horror contains all the expected trimmings of a roguelike. There 
are 14 unlockable characters wholl impact each playthrough in various ways, 
such as changing stats or perspectives on the horrors that you encounter. 
Each fight will be turn-based, providing options to kick, punch, or scavenge 
for makeshift weapons. There are plenty of clues and trinkets to be found so 
be sure to explore every corner of this dying town. 

There are also 20 curated mysteries for you to explore with procedurally 
generated events that will force you to manage your health and sanity in 
unfathomable settings plagued by curses and terrifying encounters thatll test 
even the best survival instincts. However, if the 20 mysteries aren't enough 
to satiate your hunger for horror then you'll be glad to hear that PC players 
will have access to modding tools to create custom mysteries. 

 World of Horror has the potential to climb its way onto our best horror 
games list with its vintage and eerie art style and cosmic horror-esque 
mind-bending narrative. If youre a fan of Junji Itos sickening horror or 
out-of-this-world mysteries then this is one to look forward to.
