World of Horror is a 2023 role-playing video game developed by Paweł Koźmiński and published by Ysbryd Games. It takes place in the year "198X" in the fictional town of Shiokawa, Japan. The player explores various locations and fights otherworldly creatures in order to halt a looming apocalypse. Initially conceived as a card board game, Koźmiński later reimagined the project as a video game, inspired by the works of H. P. Lovecraft and Junji Ito, among others. The game's art design has a 1-bit pixel art, created by Koźmiński in Microsoft Paint. Cassandra Khaw provided additional writing, while Sebastian Zybowski and Joseph Bailey composed the soundtrack. Koźmiński released several World of Horror demos on itch.io before launching the game in early access in February 2020. After several delays, the full game was released on 19 October 2023 for macOS and Windows. Versions for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5 were released on 26 October. It received generally favorable reviews...
