WORLD OF HORROR (1bit Junji Ito inspired horror game) (16.5 points) Nominated by: ihatethisCPU (3/5 remaining) https://panstas.itch.io/world-of-horror Importance: 2.5 Fear: 6 Snake: 8 Though there have been many games based on the Lovecraftian/Cthulhu mythos, there's always one thing or another holding them back from truly grasping the themes of despair and hopelessness that the original stories exude in spades. World of Horror however, seriously nails it. World of Horror is a love letter to both Lovecraft and Junji Ito, encompassing the best of both worlds to create an experience that's immersive, scary, atmospheric, and true to the original works, forlorn, wretched, and melancholic. With an art style that looks like it jumped off any Junji Ito panel, the simple black-and-white 1bit graphics leap off your screen with enough charm and imagination to match any AAA big-budget graphics powerhouse. From the ever-prevalent spiral to characters straight out of the uncanny valley, World of Horror easily nails all the visual aspects of Ito's work with aplomb. Even more important than visuals is theming though. Through the RPG/card-based system, players embody their role, even choosing an Old God to start off the game with and sort of represent them, hinting from the very start that players and their characters are all but cursed to their fate and have little control over their upcoming destinies. The campaigns in the demo range from straightforward to complex, with my favorite one dealing with this entire web of mystery and intrigue about a local school legend, which has loads of branching paths and in my playthrough, ended with my character in a loony bin. My story had ended, I had succumbed to my own madness, and it was here I realized how well World of Horror truly embodies all of those aforementioned themes, and I absolutely adored it. It's a very hard and bold thing for a game to accomplish. World of Horror deserves to be played by any fan of Ito, Lovecraft, or great horror. The demo is free and the stories are bite-sized, so you really have no excuse! I can't guarantee you'll come out with your sanity intact however. --- If the suspense doesn't kill you, something else will! http://tinyurl.com/zqwzc9a - https://imgur.com/a/OcdhKKR <cite>Snake5555555555 posted [p:910508106] in Snake Rank...
