Ysbryd Games’ World of Horror has finally exited early access and is available now for PC. However, the developer needs more time to release it on Nintendo Switch, PS5 and PS4 in North America and Europe. Thankfully, it’s not a long delay, as console players in the West can play it on October 26th.
Developed by panstasz and based on the works of Junji Ito and H.P. Lovecraft, World of Horror is a roguelite horror role-playing game set in Shiokawa, Japan. There are 14 playable characters and 20 investigations, with players solving puzzles and uncovering clues. Random encounters with fabled demons and figures also await, and each step brings you closer to the world’s end.
World of Horror’s 1-bit art style is also unique, akin to retro graphics while being drawn in MS Paint. If you’ve never interacted with the works of Ito or Lovecraft, beware – there’s a good amount of blood, gore and mutilation. At least the release trailer looks stunning. Check it out below.
We’ve worked hard to bring WORLD OF HORROR to Switch & PlayStation, but we need a few more days to get the game on consoles in the Americas & Europe.
WORLD OF HORROR arrives on western consoles for download Thursday October 26th. We’ll get you to Shiokawa in time for Halloween!
