World of Horror

Addictive roguelike 2-bit single player action. I was a hot nurse and mutilated myself for the glory of ..... wait what, I wasn't possessed? I'm just naturally insane? Badass. The music is amazing, the art style is nostalgic, and the gameplay is cruel but not unfair. If you're a can of Call of Cthulhu and other "sanity" torture simulators, you'll probably like this game. You won't like this game if you like easy games though, it's definitely not easy.

A fun little point and click RPG with a great horror atmosphere and world the developers have built up. The game can be quite difficult until you learn the mechanics of managing your health, sanity, money, etc. and unlock some of the characters and items. The bizarre creatures and characters give off a definite Junji Ito vibe and I love it. I've put in a couple dozen hours and there is still plenty for me to unlock plus the developers are still adding to the game so I'm sure I could easily put in a couple dozen more. The only complaint I have is that there are no steam achievements for the game.

I found the game mechanics a bit too overwhelming at first, but once I got a hang out the scissor woman I quickly grew to love it. It's quite strange, macabre, and often leaves some of the horror to your imagination leaving me comfortably uncomfortable. I haven't played too much yet, but the achievements unlocking new game modes has me itching at the more specific runs I can do. The soundtrack and artstyle really has me enthralled. It's retro with a twinge of junji-ito. If you're into horror this is a gem!
