Panstasz and Ysbryd Games have finally announced the release date for the long-awaited World of Horror, which will launch into Steam Early Access on February 20th.
Originally slated for last year, World of Horror is a roguelite with turn-based combat and a very different 1-bit art-style made within Microsoft Paint. I remember when I made an animation from Paint and I thought that was impressive.
The synopsis:
WORLD OF HORROR follows the rural residents of a seaside Japanese town facing inhuman terrors in a world spiraling toward madness. Investigate the return of eldritch monsters and solve puzzles to collect arcane spell components. Struggle against malevolent legends of folklore like the Aka Manto and Kuchisake-onna, summoned by performing dark rites.
Fight to survive this nightmare roguelite reality with turn-based combat. Each of the five playable characters available in Early Access has their own stats and perspective on the horrors unfolding in their hometown. Defeat gruesome bosses, all illustrated and animated with disturbing images made in Microsoft Paint with a classic 1-bit graphic style.
World of Horror will cost $14.99 at launch with English language support; more languages will follow at a later date. Similarly, World of Horror will also be coming to Switch, PS4, and Xbox One in 2020.
