World of Horror
2020
[ Story: 8/10 | Gameplay: 9/10 | OST: 10/10 ]
As someone who tends to keep away from any and all roguelikes (just not my genre sorry), this was a DAMN pleasant surprise. Thrilling exploration/investigations blended in with addicting turn-based combat makes for a gameplay loop I never mind going back through over and over, and the atmosphere the music and graphics create is tense and daunting in all the right ways.

World of Horror is spectacularly up my alley. It acts in place of the friend you meet who has a similar niche interest to you, and then you come to find that they're actually in way more deep than you thought somebody else could get, and before long you're bouncing between favorite Senritsu Kaiki File Kowasugi! and Kiyoshi Kurosawa movies like you've known each other for years.
World of Horror is an imperfect experience, the combat isn't terribly interesting and some of the mechanics fall flat for how much depth the game alludes to, and after a point it seems like you've started looping certain scenarios but haven't even touched a bunch of other ones. In the end, though, I don't really want to talk about what the game does wrong when it does so much right. Even if the formula gets old after a certain period, I think the time spent getting to that point is WELL worth the money and effort.
