World of Horror

(Update): after hours of trying different things. I managed to fix the issue of not being able to progress on Steam Deck, in the main menu settings, if you turn on "check for gamepads" It screws the functionality of various menus since it disables mouse/touch screen, And there are certain menus that can't interact with gamepad. This issue will stay even if you turn it off, in fact it'll actually get worse, since you won't be able to use gamepad anymore, and mouse/touch screen will stay disabled,, effectively making your game unplayable. To fix this, you'll have to completely uninstall the game, delete all remaining files for the game, and disabled the cloud save. Once you get a completely fresh install, The game will work perfectly fine as long as you never enable "check for gamepads". As for the actual game itself, It's by far one of my favorite games of all time, The story and setting feels truly immersive, You feel like you're actually in a horror manga. it's a solid 8/10 for me. I'll keep my old review at the bottom (Old review) Even though it's definitely one of my favorite games, unfortunately its unplayable due to a bug. At least on steamdeckn for me, But I've seen others complain about it on PC as well... When doing a particular investigation, You were given a "yes" or "no" choice. Whether you use a controller or a mouse, You cannot select either option, making it impossible to continue forward with the story. Updates for this game are pretty much a miracle at this point, since the developer disappears for long periods of time. So there's pretty much no chance of this being fixed anytime soon....

I'm very much a fan of retro and low-bit graphics and this game delivers. It's very Junji Ito-esque in some ways as well, and all in all is a solid experience. If you're looking for something that will frighten you to death, this might not be your game. But it's still fun to sink a few hours into now and again to see what content you might've missed on your first run.
