#26 Horror Game 100 story challenge

In 1954, color was added for the first time to terrestrial broadcasting, which had been in monochrome. The sky was a clear blue, the trees were a fresh green, and the blood was a bright red… Colors added beautiful flowers to people’s entertainment. Is color better than monochrome? I don’t necessarily agree. This is because in a world captured only in black and white, it’s possible to capture the imagination and enjoy it. That’s why films made more than half a century ago continue to fascinate us. Just as the game began with dot graphics, there is an infinite world beyond the blank. And fear is no exception to this rule.

Title: World of Horror

Genre: Horror RPG

Compatible Hardware: Nintendo Switch

Publisher Release Date: PLAYIZM 2023.10.19 release

OMG! I have a feeling this is going to be a masterpiece! I’m excited! Dare to be 2D, dare to be monochrome. “World of Horror,” a game reminiscent of the old-generation FC, will be released soon!

A number of unexplained incidents have occurred in Shiokawa Town, where the protagonist lives. The player must solve the mystery and stop the world from collapsing.

So far, what we know is not much. However, the developer of this game was inspired by Lovecraft and Junji Ito. This should be a good reason to have special expectations for the game scenario! The game system is an RPG. The player must fight against the monsters of the other world and find clues to solve the case, and to do the player must perform dark rituals. The game has a “Destruction Value,” which is increased by the player’s actions, and when it reaches 100 percent, the world is destroyed(Like the summoning attribute of Megami Tensei?) “Linda³”, a game about the destruction of the world, had 8 years to go before the destruction, but does this game have it? In any case, eschatology is an interesting subject!

World of Horror” has many of the elements that horror fans love. I for one can’t wait for its release!

See you tomorrow!
