World of Horror (Kyoufu no Sekai) is a roguelite horror RPG developed by Polish indie developer Panstasz and published by Ysbryd Games. It's made for the PC, Nintendo Switch, and Playstation 4. A demo is available here, which was released in the same year, although the pre-2020 demos were initially released in 2018. It was finally released on Steam under Early Access on February 20, 2020, with the full release under multiple platforms out on October 19, 2023.The year is 198X, and the world is on the brink of collapse. The Old Gods are beginning to stir from their long slumber, and with their awakening, a small coastal town named Shiokawa in Japan begins to fall into chaos as the sanity of its inhabitants slips and strange monsters emerge. It's The End of the World as We Know It, and there's no way to stop it. However, with some courage, tenacity, cunning, and just a bit of luck, it may be possible to hold off the end times...even if just for a little while.World of Horror is heavily influenced by both H. P. Lovecraft and Japanese master of horror Junji Ito. The game utilizes a mix of Japanese urban myths and ghost stories, relying on a careful mix of Jump Scares and atmospheric horror to build up an atmosphere of dread. The game's aesthetics are reminiscent of 1-bit adventure games; enemy design tends to take influence from both aforementioned authors, with nightmarish results. Players follow one of a handful of characters as they attempt to solve the mysteries haunting their town, collecting items, solving puzzles, and defending themselves from the forces of darkness as they try to stave off the end of the world.The official site is here. Panstasz can be followed on his Twitter feed. | |

No Celebrities Were Harmed: The ally Iwa is based on Dwayne Johnson, specifically his portrait is based on a famous picture of Johnson in his teens, and Iwa is a direct Japanese translation of "Rock". | |

Katanas Are Just Better | |
| World of Horror (Video Game) / int_12a22bd8 | comment |
Katanas Are Just Better: While it's hard to get it and requires you to be very lucky, the katana is, bar none, the single strongest weapon in the game. It's swing is stronger than every other weapon, and it does better damage than a revolver. This is justified, it's also one of the few weapons that is actually intended for use as a weapon. | |

Shows Damage: As your Stamina and Reason get lower your character portrait changes to reflect that (cuts and bruises, shadows under eyes etc.). Most of the Injuries you can accumulate during gameplay also appear on your character there. | |

Heal Thyself | |
| World of Horror (Video Game) / int_17761744 | comment |
Heal Thyself: The game shows that you can restore 2 Stamina with the "Cauterize" spell, though this is a one-time thing. Other healing spells exist, but they usually cost Reason or increase Doom. The Sewing Kit lets you restore 3 Stamina at the cost of 1 Charisma, as your character is left with a scar where they stitched themselves up. If you find Black Hair and use it with a Sewing Kit in your inventory, you get the Sewing Kit (Hair), which leaves a much cleaner scar. This restores 3 Stamina and 3 Reason with no Charisma penalty. | |

Lord British Postulate | |
| World of Horror (Video Game) / int_1a1ea492 | comment |
Lord British Postulate: "Invincible" enemies like Oetaru, Something Truly Evil, and the Nameless Horror can still be damaged with thrown objects or spells, so it's possible to "kill" them by doing so (though the sheer volume of spellcasting required will typical tank your stats and Doom to the point the game becomes unbeatable). However, the game doesn't recognize that you killed the enemy, and will treat it as though the encounter ended in a normal manner (i.e. you ran away, or it never happened). | |

Multiple Endings | |
| World of Horror (Video Game) / int_1aa08f77 | comment |
Multiple Endings: Oh, so many endings, which are split between mystery endings and playthrough endings. Most of the mysteries can be resolved in a variety of ways, depending upon what the player does/doesn't do and whether or not they complete their objectives. Some require completing the additional objective, while others require specific items. Generally, endings fall into one of the following classifications: "Ending A", which sees you solve the mystery in its entirety, uncovering the secrets and avoiding any traps, and walking away totally victorious.. but not always innocent. True victory sometimes requires a harsh price. "Ending B" typically sees you either resolving the problem at hand at great cost, or else narrowly avoiding success, while still managing to harm or inconvenience the antagonist in the process. It can also refer to avoiding a hopeless death, but making a great sacrifice in the process. "Ending C" are the "bad" endings, that result from half-assing the investigation, missing clues, taking the easy ways out, falling into plot traps, failing to be Genre Savvy, or even being a Dirty Coward and abandoning the investigation when the opportunity arises. These are unequivocally bad, with the problem getting worse, the antagonist winning, or the impending disaster kicking off with you being powerless to stop it. Sometimes, your investigation is stopped cold before you learn the truth. Most of these count as "successes," however, and let you advance the game. There exist a few "Ending D" endings as well. These are even worse than Ending C's, as you utterly fail in your goals or, in some cases, even accidentally help the antagonist succeed. Again, they still count as "successes" and let you proceed with the game, even though the world is indisputably worse off because of your "help." One Halloween update added an Ending E as well. In this, you accomplish absolutely nothing, and the villain gets away with zero repercussions. You, however, are far worse off, having something horrible happen to you that will inevitably kill you, or cause great harm at best. Then there's the playthrough endings, which are range from simply losing all Stamina/Reason or reaching 100% Doom to dying in specific ways during investigations. And there are only a very small number of good endings you can get. | |

Unwinnable by Design | |
| World of Horror (Video Game) / int_1bd4c0bf | comment |
Unwinnable by Design: The game being a rogue-lite, there's always the possibility of a procedural situation where the player's options are minimal to nil. And considering the Old Gods can indirectly impede your progress throughout a run, it's entirely within bad luck to end up heavily wounded, unable to rest or drink water, against insurmountable odds and nothing you can do about it. | |

Power at a Price | |
| World of Horror (Video Game) / int_1ebbdddb | comment |
Power at a Price: Every spell in the game has a cost that balances out the benefits they bestow. Some examples include Flesh Regrowth, which restores 3 Stamina at the cost of reducing your maximum Stamina by 2; Mind Drain, which inflicts 3 damage on an enemy at the cost of 2 Reason; and Midasu Touch, which provides 1 Fund at the cost of 2 Stamina. If Ath-Yolazsth is the chosen Old God of a playthrough, Reason costs for magic are replaced with increased Doom counter progress. | |

"Seventh Curse" has you start with more funds than what the chosen difficulty allows, at the expense of gaining any human allies. This is because a Deal with the Devil makes anyone who gets close to you die. | |

Harmful Healing | |
| World of Horror (Video Game) / int_1ff3b1d6 | comment |
Harmful Healing: Going to the Hospital to heal your injuries has a chance to leave you with severe blood loss or wounds that will reopen as soon as you take damage. Averted by the School Nurse, however, who despite her creepy appearance will heal any minor injuries without payment or consequences. Most of the healing magic in this game comes with a price. Book of Gore heals 3 Stamina and 3 Reason, but also inflicts a random Injury on your character, while Flesh Regrow restores 3 Stamina, but reduces your Max Stamina by 2. | |

Your Mind Makes It Real | |
| World of Horror (Video Game) / int_234073a4 | comment |
Your Mind Makes It Real: Witnessing good or bad omens affects the Doom counter just like wasting or saving time. The Survivor's Guilt curse adds 2% to the Doom counter after completing a mystery, working against the -3% that normally gets applied. And certain events and endings advance the Doom counter if they make the protagonist feel guilty, such as Ending D: Lacerations of Bizarre Bruit of the Blood-curdling Botanist, where the protagonist is forced to leave Shiro-san behind while escaping from his hostile garden, even though other endings reveal that Shiro-san was already taken by the Cordyceps fungus and the player has to kill him after discovering this. | |

Failure Is the Only Option | |
| World of Horror (Video Game) / int_260926c3 | comment |
Failure Is the Only Option: For some events, if you lack a specific item, skill, or ally, the only option you can choose is one that penalizes you. This is also Enforced by the "Ill-Fated" backstory, which forces every skill check to fail. Endless Mode also enforces this, as you will not be able to stop the Old God's summoning and the game will only end if you die, go insane, or reach 100% Doom. | |

Status Effects | |
| World of Horror (Video Game) / int_2639f6eb | comment |
Status Effects: Present and accounted for in the form of Injuries and Curses. Injuries come in both minor and major varieties: while all injuries can be treated at a hospital, minor injuries can be healed with a bandage while major injuries require a medical kit. In either case, treated injuries may leave a "treatment" card behind that may help or hinder the player afterwards. Curses, on the other hand, cannot be healed: they remain with the player for the duration of the playthrough, and worse still, they can stack.note The only exceptions are with the Old Coin given with the Curious Birthmark background, or with Ayaka's Onyx Medallion, which applies two curses at the start of each mystery, while only allowing one curse to be removed per mystery. | |

Ascended Glitch | |
| World of Horror (Video Game) / int_26ba32a3 | comment |
Ascended Glitch: The prototype version of the game had an infamous bug with the Magician enemy causing the game to crash. Subsequent versions gave a nod to the bug by adding a glitched variant, with reality distorting around him. Versions before 1.0 had a bug wherein Kana doesn't die even when sacrificed in events and mysteries. While the bug was fixed, the main gimmick of playable Kana is them reviving when killed, at the cost of Doom. | |

Revolvers Are Just Better | |
| World of Horror (Video Game) / int_2a195285 | comment |
Revolvers Are Just Better: The characters can secure a revolver if you get the right event while investigating or as a specific enemy drop. Downplayed, however, in that it deals less damage than the rifles and the shotgun, and it's rapid attack speed isn't very useful due to the scarcity of ammo. note The designs look like the Nambu Model 60, which is one of the standard sidearms of Japanese law enforcement, though most are being replaced/supplemented by Smith & Wesson-made revolvers. | |

| World of Horror (Video Game) / int_2bdae2ae | comment |
Awesome, but Impractical: Guns are quite powerful and deal massive damage per shot, but ammo is extremely scarce and difficult to find, and shots can still miss. They also inflict the Ringing Ears status when fired, slowing down attack speed until the end of the mystery. One of Moriko's perks helps to mitigate this slightly, granting extra ammo after completing a mystery. | |

| World of Horror (Video Game) / int_2e8441c9 | comment |
The Bad Guy Wins: If the Doom Track reached 100%, then the Old God that the player is trying to stop wakes up and destroys Shiokawa, and possibly (definitely in Ath-Yolazsth's case) the world. Some of the mysteries can end in this sort of situation too, such as "Violent Vigil" where one of the endings has your presumed grand-uncle successfully resurrect himself, leaving you an accessory to murder. | |

Glass Cannon | |
| World of Horror (Video Game) / int_2f253c94 | comment |
The hunting rifle is the most powerful firearm bar none, doing a whopping 32 damage per shot. It's for this reason that it's the most expensive item in the game, costing a whopping 11 funds in the Illegal Den. The other way to obtain it is to play on the "Hunted by the cult" backstory, then encounter Cultist Hunter B and defeat them. | |

Cursed with Awesome | |
| World of Horror (Video Game) / int_309b8806 | comment |
Cursed with Awesome: Sometimes curse effects actually help your current run. Brain Damage boosts your max reason at the cost of 2 knowledge. If you're playing a low-Knowledge character, this won't hinder you. Masochistic gives you -3 max reason, but gives you +1 reason when entering combat. If you get it early enough (but not so early that it causes your current reason to drop), it ends up being more beneficial than harmful. Insmasu Look gives you random bad effects when investigating the seaside. If you do the Macabre Memoir of Morbid Mermaids mystery, however, you can show your gills to the Mad Janitor, instantly ending the fight with no negative consequences. Blood Frenzy causes you to take +1 damage in combat, but the same bonus also applies to your damage. As you always act first and killing the enemy prevents all damage, it may actually help you stay alive. A number of effects give you bonuses at the cost of eating into your maximum Stamina and/or Reason. At the start of a run, this can seem hefty... but by the end of a run, it's almost a certainty you'll never be at max Stamina/Reason anyway, meaning the bonuses become quite a bit more attractive. Zhectast's unique events give +3 to one of your character's stats at a small Stamina/Reason cost. And they'll need it, given that they'll be losing stats as Doom increases. | |

Pistol-Whipping: If you run out of ammo or don't want to spend it, you can strike with an equipped gun. Two characters also have perks and exclusive firearms that are made for this Haru's CQC Training boosts the melee damage of firearms, and the Semi-Auto he can obtain in one of his events happens to be the only gun that uses STR (Haru's highest stat) for melee attacks, as well as striking extremely fast. Moriko's starting Old Shotgun has a good combination of melee damage, speed, and hit chance. The Deft Handling perk can then reduce the amount of time it takes to strike with guns, making the shotgun into one of the best melee weapons. | |

It's a Wonderful Failure: Game Overs are preceded by a positively delightful description of your failure, including (without counting mystery-specific failures): Collapsing and dying from your wounds. Being institutionalized when your sanity is finally spent. The Old God arriving and destroying Shiokawa. Melting your face by drinking eldritch blood without protection. Being sacrificed by a nearly naked History Club president. Getting murdered by the shiba inu shopkeeper, your remains made into dog food. Abducted by alien shiba inus because the Earth is doomed. | |

Downer Ending | |
| World of Horror (Video Game) / int_4e3d253b | comment |
In particular, "Bizarre Bruit of the Blood-curdling Botanist" asks you to track down Shiro-san, a missing gardener. The mystery culminates in a battle where you find the gardener under attack by his own garden, which is alive and hostile. The goal presented to you is to keep Shiro-san alive and guide him out. This gets you Ending C, since finishing the sidequest and investigating the gardener once the vines have damaged him reveals the truth: he's been turned into a horrible Puppeteer Parasite for a mutant strain of Cordyceps fungus, and by helping him escape, you likely just doomed the world to a The Last of Us scenario. Once you learn the truth, you now have to kill him - though doing so normally only earns you Ending B. The Golden Ending takes quite a bit more work. | |

Lovecraft Lite | |
| World of Horror (Video Game) / int_55d919f7 | comment |
Lovecraft Lite: Zigzagged. While there are Eldritch Abominations and Things Man Was Not Meant to Know as expected in this kind of Cosmic Horror Story, most of them can be defeated, placated, or outright stopped. That being said, there's a few aversions that keep the game from being completely free of horrors. If the Old Ones return, it's game over - you stand no chance of even opposing them. The game's goal is to stop them from awakening instead. That being said, you will go up against many eldritch horrors throughout the game, and mostnote The boss of Curious Case of a Contagious Coma isn't killed if you choose to fight it, as they're merely the fingers of an eldritch being in a different dimension of them can be killed with enough skill; if you succeed at solving all of the mysteries and disrupt the ritual in the Lighthouse, the Old One goes back to sleep, showing that their return can be delayed, perhaps even indefinitely. Though in spite of that, many of the defeated horrors are outright stated to be gone, but can return by someone else summoning them. Endings A and B of the "Household Hell" investigation have your foe too far away to attack: the only options you have against the thing you've awoken are to either run away, leaving it to terrorize the coastline, or satiate it by murdering one of your companions. You can't kill Something Truly Evil, and aside from spells (which don't kill it even if you deplete all of its HP), you can't even attack it. All you can do is harm yourself in a pitiful effort to appease it or to die trying. | |

Police Are Useless | |
| World of Horror (Video Game) / int_59907e4f | comment |
Police Are Useless: Downplayed. The police in Shiokawa are overwhelmed by the murders, riots, and various paranormal cases when the story starts, and in some instances, they're corrupted and turned into hostile monsters. But you can offer the officers information and tips (in the form of 30 XP) at the Police Station for Funds or request more patrols to lower the chance of combat encounters. Also subverted during some events: you have the options to call the police but doing so requires a Charisma check to convince them whatever you've encountered is real. Ending A for Far-out Fable of a Fear Festival averts this hard. You managed to delay the cult long enough for a police task force to burst in and stop them. The leader, your aunt, escapes, but the cops disrupt the summoning ritual at the last moment, arrest most of the cultists, rescue the survivors, and clean up all the evidence in a manner of hours. | |

The chainsaw serves as the ultimate PER melee weapon, as it does decent damage while attacking extremely fast, to the point that you can easily hit the cap of 8 actions per turn. However, it requires you to get a light source, use it in the workshed in the "Perilous Parable of the Peculiar Painting" mystery, then spend 3 funds to buy a fuel can and fill up the chainsaw. | |

Gameplay and Story Segregation | |
| World of Horror (Video Game) / int_6320eced | comment |
Gameplay and Story Segregation: Because some events can trigger regardless of where you are or what mystery you're investigating, it's possible for your character to have their wallet stolen in the middle of a crowded plaza, despite the fact that they're supposed to be trapped in a haunted mansion with only the other guests for company. The mystery solving, which constitutes the bulk of the actions that the protagonists take, is not actually connected to the overarching goal of stopping an Eldritch Abomination from waking up and destroying the world. From a purely Watsonian perspective, the protagonist can only disrupt the summoning ritual in the lighthouse because someone keeps sending them keys to lighthouse's locks, one by one, after each mystery investigation, regardless of how the investigation concluded. | |

| World of Horror (Video Game) / int_6654b17b | comment |
Facial Horror: More examples than you can shake a Junji Ito manga at. To name just a handful of them: The Aspiring Model enemy wears a mask made out of human skin. When she takes damage in combat, the mask falls off and you get to see what a woman with her facial skin peeled off looks like. The Ribcage Woman's face is replaced with a gaping hole filled with bony thorns. The Glued Corpse's encounter text has the player finding him seemingly crying, and once the fight begins, his sprite graphically shows what happened when he tried to take his hands off his face and ripped his skin off in the process. "Something Truly Evil" looks like the front and top of its head have been ripped off, leaving only a pair of lights where its eyes should be against a black void. From "Chilling Chronicle of a Crimson Cape": Aka Manto's true form reveals that behind his mask, there is a black void where his face should be. Also, if you take on his human form instead, equip the Crestfallen Mask he drops, then take it off for whatever reason, you become just as faceless as his true form and suffer a nasty stat debuff to boot. From "Vicious Verses of a Violent Vigil": Sotomura's monster form has his scar torn open into an enormous hole in his facial skin, exposing two entirely white eyes where just one normal eye should be. Collecting eldritch blood and drinking it will cause your character's face to melt. Needless to say, you die if you do this unless you use a special item to collect the blood. Poor Juri basically gets half her face torn off once the Horror fully catches up to her. This shows both on her portrait and on her home sprite. | |

Interface Screw: The Eldritch Statuette Seaside event has you encounter a heavy statuette of a Cthulhu-esque creature, which calls to you, urging you to take it home. The option to ignore it is black with white text (a colouration reserved for actions you can't take due to lacking a specific perk/ally/item), yet has no actual prerequisites and can be chosen freely. | |

Made of Plasticine: The Medical History background makes your character into this, as they can suffer injuries regardless of the type of damage dealt to them. Thus, they can have an artery cut by being slapped, or break their ribs from the enemy doing literally nothing. | |

Cosmic Horror Story | |
| World of Horror (Video Game) / int_6a1c2a6 | comment |
Cosmic Horror Story: Downplayed. This trope is to be expected when both H. P. Lovecraft and Junji Ito were major influences; the game is surprisingly optimistic regardless. Even the most horrible monstrosities can be banished with enough hard work and combat skill. Whether this is permanent or simply delaying the inevitable is left ambiguous for lesser monstrosities, but the simple fact that the likes of Ath-Yolazsth can be defeated by Puny Humans places the game firmly into Lovecraft Lite territory. | |

The Young Witch enemy normally deals only Stamina damage, but also deals Reason damage to male characters by playing on their attraction to her. One Secret Character is a lesbian, so she also takes Reason damage from the Young Witch. | |

Guide Dang It! | |
| World of Horror (Video Game) / int_6ec989d8 | comment |
Guide Dang It!: Intentionally so; this is a mystery horror game, and a great deal of the experience comes down to investigating, learning secrets, putting two-and-two together, and sometimes even good old-fashioned trial-and-error. There are many branching paths and they range from "reasonable with a bit of legwork and common sense" to "totally reliant on foresight and outright luck." It's part of the charm, though; every path is tracked and recorded (even the bad ones), failure is frequently expected, and meta-knowledge gleaned from one playthrough can lead to a better outcome the next time around. Even then, some of the unlockable content is particularly devilish. You'll need a guide if you're stumped on getting it all. | |

Going Cold Turkey | |
| World of Horror (Video Game) / int_70506bc7 | comment |
Going Cold Turkey: One of the achievements, fittingly named "Cold Turkey", is awarded for playing as Haru without ever smoking. Haru starts off with nicotine withdrawal, mind, which makes him weaker if he's not smoking, and his starting perk can only be activated if he smokes. His Challenge Run (where he starts with a bottle of water but can never use Cigarettes) is actually titled "Going Cold Turkey". | |

Gameplay Ally Immortality: Played with, depending on the mystery and the player's actions: Generally, enemies will only attack the player character during combat and can only kill their allies if a) The player orders them to distract the enemy but fail, or b) Send them against the enemy on their own. On top of this, the player is the only one who can lose health from events. | |

The Cuckoolander Was Right | |
| World of Horror (Video Game) / int_75979171 | comment |
The Cuckoolander Was Right: The "paranoid patient" was committed when police assumed from their wounds and terrified rambling that they were insane. They're actually no less sane than the protagonist (possibly more so) and only had the misfortune of not being believed. A successful charisma check lets you convince them of the full picture and add them as an ally. The Paranoia curse (which makes YOU the subject of this trope) allows you to auto-succeed, at the cost of raised doom. | |

You Have to Believe Me! | |
| World of Horror (Video Game) / int_77315f4f | comment |
You Have to Believe Me!: Many of your potential allies, such as the students you can chat with in the Schoolyard, will only join you if they're convinced that there's an actual threat. Otherwise, they'll dismiss your request with comments like "You were always such a kidder!" If you're strong enough, however, you can force them. If you want the police to help you with certain events, you'd better hope that you can pass a Charisma check in order to convince them first. While dealing with a 'crazy person', your protagonist can realize that the biggest difference between you is that nobody believes them. You can also not realize that they're telling the truth if you don't pass a check, which makes them land in this. | |

Batter Up! | |
| World of Horror (Video Game) / int_77922c8c | comment |
Batter Up!: The Apartment Stalker uses a baseball bat to attack, which can hit hard enough to inflict a concussion upon your character, lowering their KNW for the rest of the mystery. On the plus side, defeating them drops their Baseball Bat, allowing you to wield it as a solid weapon. It is possible to obtain a Wooden Bat in the Scissors mystery. It's weaker than the Baseball Bat by far, but it's better than nothing. Getting both of the bats in a single run unlocks Yumiko, who has her own Lucky Bat that provides a +2 bonus to her luck. | |

Commonplace Rare: Empty bottles are very valuable, as they allow you to bottle water while bathing, making for an easy and portable +1 STA recovery. Despite being able to find broken bottles in combat, however, you can only reliably obtain intact ones by either buying them at the pharmacy, or by buying a bottled drink elsewhere and consuming it, both of which are surprisingly expensive. | |

Not Quite the Right Thing | |
| World of Horror (Video Game) / int_7a19a69b | comment |
Not Quite the Right Thing: Enforced by virtue of being a horror-mystery game at its core; oftentimes the goals given to you upfront are not wholly accurate or honest, and you need to complete the optional sidequests in each mystery to get the full story. Failing to do so may lead to an ending where you "win" but ultimately miss something critical that causes you to miss the full story. In particular, "Bizarre Bruit of the Blood-curdling Botanist" asks you to track down Shiro-san, a missing gardener. The mystery culminates in a battle where you find the gardener under attack by his own garden, which is alive and hostile. The goal presented to you is to keep Shiro-san alive and guide him out. This gets you Ending C, since finishing the sidequest and investigating the gardener once the vines have damaged him reveals the truth: he's been turned into a horrible Puppeteer Parasite for a mutant strain of Cordyceps fungus, and by helping him escape, you likely just doomed the world to a The Last of Us scenario. Once you learn the truth, you now have to kill him - though doing so normally only earns you Ending B. The Golden Ending takes quite a bit more work. | |

Challenge Run | |
| World of Horror (Video Game) / int_7a7d698d | comment |
Challenge Run: Challenges mode is unlocked by beating the game without ever using the "Rest" action during a mystery. Currently there are seven available challenges. The first six involves the character having their special gimmick disabled, while the seventh goes further with it. Parole Violation - play as Miku; Doom starts at -10%, but Miku doesn't get her Mayhem ability. Going Cold Turkey - play as Haru; you start with a refillable bottle of water but can never use Cigarettes. But Dad!! - play as Moriko; you start with an Inspiring Novel but automatically discard all guns you acquire. Ghastly Presence - play as Kirie; you start with an extra spell but cannot use offensive actions in battle. Ghost Town - play as Mizuki; you start with the Seventh Curse background, meaning you can't get allies, and cannot take any non-investigation action but Rest. Wrong Book! - play as Toshiaki; instead of the Necronomicon, you have a cookbook that constantly spawns a food item in your inventory. Mimi's Little Project - play as Mimi; perform experimental surgeries on yourself before each mystery, the majority of which decrease your stats and have other drawbacks on top of that. | |

Gainax Ending | |
| World of Horror (Video Game) / int_82accf22 | comment |
Gainax Ending: One of the bad endings requires a bit of work to achieve, but is a really strange one. It requires you to first get a Blue Gem from the Dog Shopkeeper, which you can only get as a randomly-selected discount item. Next, you have to trigger a series of randomly-determined events at the seaside, the school, and then the forest. Done correctly, the game ends with you abducted by alien Shiba Inus who are whisking away a handful of humans to resettle on a new world away from the doomed Earth. It makes a bit more sense when you realize the whole thing is a giant Silent Hill reference. | |

Eldritch Abomination | |
| World of Horror (Video Game) / int_8774fb47 | comment |
The mystery solving, which constitutes the bulk of the actions that the protagonists take, is not actually connected to the overarching goal of stopping an Eldritch Abomination from waking up and destroying the world. From a purely Watsonian perspective, the protagonist can only disrupt the summoning ritual in the lighthouse because someone keeps sending them keys to lighthouse's locks, one by one, after each mystery investigation, regardless of how the investigation concluded. | |

Freaky Feature of Found Footage is such an obvious homage to The Blair Witch Project that few players will realize until it's too late for that run that the storyline is actually an update of Lovecraft's The Shunned House. There are only two clues beforehand, both subtle — first, that the apparently homaged work is well outside the purview of what the game normally references, and second, there's a reference to an unusual number of dead trees near the village — the aforementioned house was characterized by the strange and unhealthy vegetation surrounding it, including barren trees. | |

Creepy Doll | |
| World of Horror (Video Game) / int_8bff32a8 | comment |
Creepy Doll: The Fleshy Doll item, acquired from ending B of "Restless Rumors of a Residential Recluse", resembles a cross between a stuffed rabbit and a flayed human skeleton. Equipping it increases the Doom track, but also gives a boost to maximum Reason. | |

Arc Number | |
| World of Horror (Video Game) / int_9203bf6 | comment |
Arc Number: Four crops up frequently. Spending time shopping for items or resting in the middle of an investigation advances the Doom Track by 4% each time. Solving one of the mysteries and getting a certain ending (typically the one where the most about the mystery is revealed) will subtract 4% of the Doom Track, though only on Initiate difficulty. During one phase of the "Far-Out Fable of Fear Festival", you can make four moves before time runs out for finding any survivors. Making four purchases from the History Club gives you a bad ending where you are sacrificed by the club president. | |

Busman's Holiday: Some of the cases have you leaving Shiokawa, only to end up encountering mysteries and monstrosities wherever you went instead. Averted when Saving and Quitting a session. Doing so means that your protagonist leaves town for a while (i.e. 'Until you continue playing'), giving them a chance to rest and recover, losing any spells they've learned and healing their injuries. Nothing happens to them until you return, meaning they actually get a break from all the horrors for once. | |

Luck-Based Mission | |
| World of Horror (Video Game) / int_98b1dc8f | comment |
Luck-Based Mission: The mermaid case has a special ending which requires your character to be afflicted with a specific condition. Said condition is only obtainable through eating the lump of meat, which has the chance of instead giving you the bloated injury or a random curse, by playing a certain character who accumulates curses after each mystery, or by randomly encountering it in the wild. Good luck getting the students in the Schoolyard to discuss the Aka Manto case with you during that investigation. Especially if circumstances have led to only one or two students showing up in the Schoolyard at a time. "Bizarre Bruit of the Bloodcurling Botanist"'s ending A requires a specific item, which you can only get from another case, and only get from a specific ending. Successfully drinking eldritch blood and surviving is a chain of these. You first need a Tiny Key, which is only guaranteed if you get Ending A to "Alarming Account of Abnormal Arms" and do the optional sidequest. Then you need to investigate the School until you get the "Trophy Room" event and use the Tiny Key to get the Goblet. Then, you need to enter the Otherworld - which requires either the Void spell or yet another random event, and it specifically has to be the Upper Kingdom Otherworld at that! - and choose the right options to fill the Goblet with blood. Do all of this and you can get the single best healing item in the game, which unlocks a playable character when you first use it. You can also fill a glass bottle with the blood, but that is not advisable. | |

Press X to Die: While trying to appease Something Truly Evil, you can choose to commit suicide. Doing so kills you, unsurprisingly. If you get the Upper Kingdom otherworld event, you can collect some of the god's blood if you have either an empty bottle or the Goblet. The blood can only be safely consumed from the Goblet. Trying to drink it from the bottle is a very bad idea◊. | |

Idiosyncratic Difficulty Levels | |
| World of Horror (Video Game) / int_9a117348 | comment |
Idiosyncratic Difficulty Levels: The game has five difficulties, originally three, as of the Halloween 2020 update. Skeptic - An easier version of Easy/Initiate difficulty: enemies receive a debuff to their power, making them easier to hit in combat, and you're only required to complete four mysteries instead of five. Initiate - Easy difficulty, the player starts with 21 max Stamina/Reason and 5 Funds, resting during a mystery recovers 3 Stamina/Reason and earns 2% Doom, enemies are at full power, and all locations start with no threat level. Cultist - Normal difficulty, the player starts with 17 max Stamina/Reason and 4 Funds, resting during a mystery recovers 2 Stamina/Reason and earns 3% Doom, enemies are at full power, threat levels for all locations are random with one being near max from the start. True Believer - Hard difficulty, the player starts with 13 max Stamina/Reason and no funds, resting during a mystery recovers 2 Stamina/Reason and earns 4% Doom, enemies are at full power, threat levels for all locations are random with one being at max threat (Doomed) from the beginning. Harbinger of Doom - A harder version of Hard/True Believer difficulty: enemies receive a buff to their power, making them more difficult to hit in combat, shop items cost more Funds, and threat level for all locations are random with two being at max threat from the beginning. | |

Bandaged Face: Suffering from the "Holes" curse changes your portrait so your character is wearing bandages on their face to hide their affliction. Also, suffering from the "Burn" injury changes your portrait so your entire face is wrapped in gauze. The friend in "Worrying Write-Up of a Wordless Ward" sports one for most of the mystery until the final day, when they reveal that they got extensive plastic surgery to look like you. | |

Eye Scream | |
| World of Horror (Video Game) / int_a2b38d3b | comment |
Eye Scream: It's not for nothing that the icon for the game on Twitch implies one: In "Eerie Episode of Evolving Eels," it's revealed that the titular eels lay their eggs in people's eyes. Furthermore, in order to get Ending A for the case, you have to pay 3 Reason to puncture your neighbor Kana's eye with a needle to release the eels inside. You can encounter a victim of the Scissor Woman who combines this with Facial Horror, thanks to the slashes cutting across her face. In one event that pops up when Goizo is your chosen Outer God, you can run into a woman leaving a beauty parlor who's carved her own eyes out, reasoning that it can't see her if she can't see it. note A lot more drastic than simply wrapping a towel around one's head. And if Goizo isn't stopped in time, the last thing you see is the god starting to emerge from the eyes of your lover. Lose against Oetaru and enjoy the sight of your hero collapsing, blood streaming from their eye sockets and ears. If you decide against all common sense to anger the Shiba Inu Shopkeeper, an eye is all that's left of you once you're minced and cooked. One of Ygothaeg's events has the protagonist seriously consider gouging their eyes out just to avoid looking into the god's eyes. Using the Glass Eye item entails your character jamming it into their eye socket, destroying their real eye in the process. You gain +1 Perception in so doing, but you lose 3 Stamina from the injury and 1 Reason from the pain, plus your portrait reflects this gruesome change. | |

Multiple-Choice Past | |
| World of Horror (Video Game) / int_a426ae28 | comment |
Multiple-Choice Past: Each of the playable characters has their own backstory, with some having personal ties to certain cases. In addition, you can unlock and select extra backgrounds to add more flavor and potential complications to your playthrough. The "Medical History" background makes your protagonist more susceptible to injury due to past medical troubles. They also start out with Bandages to help them treat minor wounds, and a medical discharge paper that grants free experience points. "Hunted By the Cult" makes the cultists far more active, but solving mysteries reduces Doom more. Your protagonist managed to elude them before, but they seem to be closing in... "Seventh Curse" has you start with more funds than what the chosen difficulty allows, at the expense of gaining any human allies. This is because a Deal with the Devil makes anyone who gets close to you die. "Ill-Fated" makes it so you automatically fail every skill check during a run. You're so used to it by the time the game starts, however, that you start off with enough EXP to level up right away. "Knight-Errant" will start you with a unique book that grants more damage during the mystery it's used in, but penalizes you with a significant Doom gain if you complete a mystery with any ending other than Ending A. "Scars" reduces all damage you take by 1, but your max Stamina and Reason are reduced by 3 points. "Curious Birthmark" gives you a chance of receiving a curse each time you take damage in combat, but you also start off with a special coin that can be used to remove a curse. "Eldritch Parasite" starts you out with 20 more Stamina and Reason than usual, but you're unable to heal by any means. "Exquisite Taste" means you can only visit one sub-location in each area. "Fatalist" hides the details of each Mystery until you investigate it and forces you to investigate Mysteries in the order that they appear. "Commoner" makes it impossible for you to earn any experience. | |

Infinity +1 Sword | |
| World of Horror (Video Game) / int_a5e02e9e | comment |
Infinity +1 Sword: There are multiple of these available in the game, though they're fittingly quite difficult to obtain. The katana is the best DEX weapon, doing heavy damage with an acceptable speed. However, obtaining it requires you to get a specific otherworld event, then pass a rather difficult check, making it unlikely for you to get one in a playthrough. The DIY Flamethrower is the second strongest DEX weapon next to the katana, where it deals heavy damage with surprisingly fast speed, and is also fast to equip. However, to obtain it, you must achieve Ending A from "Macabre Memoir of Morbid Mermaids" to get the Fire Axe, then go for Ending A of "Bizarre Bruit of the Blood-curdling Botanist" by chopping down the blockage with the axe, then breaking into the van to obtain the flamethrower, all while being hounded by a difficult boss. The chainsaw serves as the ultimate PER melee weapon, as it does decent damage while attacking extremely fast, to the point that you can easily hit the cap of 8 actions per turn. However, it requires you to get a light source, use it in the workshed in the "Perilous Parable of the Peculiar Painting" mystery, then spend 3 funds to buy a fuel can and fill up the chainsaw. The hunting rifle is the most powerful firearm bar none, doing a whopping 32 damage per shot. It's for this reason that it's the most expensive item in the game, costing a whopping 11 funds in the Illegal Den. The other way to obtain it is to play on the "Hunted by the cult" backstory, then encounter Cultist Hunter B and defeat them. | |

Adults Are Useless: In an overarching sense — most of the protagonists are high school-age or barely out of their teens, and they're the only ones doing anything to stop the cosmic horror overtaking the world.

Final Boss: The last enemy you fight in a given playthrough is Takashi-San, a high-ranking cultist who will try to stop you from interrupting the Old God's summoning. While he doesn't attack you, he will instead try to hinder your progress as the fight with him causes the Doom counter to increase with every turn (which, given how high the Doom counter may be by this point, means you need to kill him quick). | |

Variable Mix | |
| World of Horror (Video Game) / int_b06ff73b | comment |
Variable Mix: The pre-mystery theme gets quiet if the player looks out of the peephole to their apartment room and slows down when they enter the lighthouse. For every mystery, there's a slow version prior to starting it, and the main theme gets quiet when the player encounters an enemy. The song then becomes more intense and gains percussion during battles. | |

Timed Mission: The whole game is this. Investigating or visiting shops or other places increases "Doom", which is an indicator of how much time is left before the Old Gods awaken. If Doom reaches 100%, well... Every move you make during the "Far-Out Fable of Fear Festival" and "Freakish Fable of a Frightening Flood" mysteries scoots the story along, with or without you. | |

Last Chance Hit Point: With the "Last Stand" option on, you won't immediately lose if your Stamina or Reason drop to 0 or below, and you will be given some leeway to restore them so long as you do so before ending the event/battle and they don't drop below -5. "Sudden Death" mode, on the other hand, will end the game the moment your Stamina or Reason drop below 1. | |

"Perilous Parable of the Peculiar Painting" climaxes with the reveal that Ichiro Mamiya's monster paintings are monsters that he's bound into paintings they can use to access our world, an arrangement his eldritch benefactors allow as long as he furnishes them with the occasional Human Sacrifice. If you interrupt him as he's about to kill his latest starstruck fan, one impatient abomination will kill Ichiro and attack you itself. | |

Escort Mission | |
| World of Horror (Video Game) / int_cfda0ecb | comment |
Escort Mission: In "Bizarre Bruit of the Blood-Curdling Botanist", the only way to save Shiro-san is by protecting him while you escape. If you've taken the optional steps, you can choose to examine him more closely - and realize he's infected by the Cordyceps Fungus and saving him is a bad idea. This is the first step to getting a good ending for the mystery. In "Perilous Parable of the Peculiar Painting", to get the best ending you must stay with the art curator you meet as she moves through different rooms of the mansion. You can deviate once - which you need to do if you want the Chainsaw - but doing it more than that will kill her. | |

Developer's Foresight | |
| World of Horror (Video Game) / int_d24ed873 | comment |
Developer's Foresight: One enemy doubles as a Secret Character. Should you be playing as that Secret Character, the enemy will have a different appearance. The Young Witch enemy normally deals only Stamina damage, but also deals Reason damage to male characters by playing on their attraction to her. One Secret Character is a lesbian, so she also takes Reason damage from the Young Witch. The "Neighbor" sub-location is dedicated solely to talking with Kana. After earning 100% Completion, Kana becomes a playable character. Select them, and Yashiro will take their place in the sub-location. If you manage to run out of any perks to take (such as by using infinite XP exploits, a long Endless Mode run, or playing a character with no perks), you will be given the Final Stretch perk that restores 2 points of REA and STA and can be taken multiple times, so as to prevent the game from crashing or softlocking. | |

The correct option is to carry it in the goblet that's cold to the touch you obtain from the school trophy case using the tiny key. You also can just bottle it and drink it straight.

Malevolent Masked Men | |
| World of Horror (Video Game) / int_db88b941 | comment |
Malevolent Masked Men: An enemy known as the Apartment Stalker can be randomly encountered if you check your door peephole. You'll be granted with a wonderful close-up of their nightmarish mask. In the village, you can randomly encounter two strange men wearing bags over their heads to mask their identities. As members of a cult that worship whatever Old God you're going against in this mission, they pull you aside and ask you if you're also a worshipper. Say yes and they'll unmask themselves and join you as allies because you're their "master" according to some prophecy. Surprisingly, if you say no, they apologize for bothering you. Aka Manto wears a mask not unlike Michael Myers. It conceals the black void where his face should be. The antagonist of "Nightmare News of the Noisy Nails" is a Serial Killer who wears a Kabuki mask and harvests the nails of his victims. You can become one yourself, by equipping one of several masks, all of which will update your character's image accordingly. | |

I Just Want to Be You: In "Worrying Write-Up of a Wordless Ward," you're asked to stay with a friend as they recover from a surgical procedure in the hospital. As they lie bandaged up, they begin acting strange and possessive toward you. On the final night, they reveal that they admire you so much that they underwent extensive plastic surgery to look just like you — so that they could Kill and Replace you. In Ending A, after killing your former friend, you discover that they had convinced every patient in the ward to get the same face job. In Ending B, it's heavily implied the plastic surgery was actually just the first part of a Grand Theft Me plan. | |

Whole-Plot Reference | |
| World of Horror (Video Game) / int_e303d198 | comment |
Whole-Plot Reference: In addition to specific mysteries referencing other works of horror, the overall game is similar to a single player session of Arkham Horror in that you're racing against an advancing Doom Track to complete missions in order to stop the awakening/summoning of an Eldritch Abomination, while things in town get hairier the closer the Doom reaches completion. Other overlaps with Arkham Horror include the dual health/sanity resource system, the emphasis on resource management, encounters/monsters/items/allies/spells being characterized as cards drawn from a deck, locations having both a set purpose as well as random encounters, and so on. | |

Given the Old Gods' imminent return and all of the other freaky shit going on in Shiokawa, the root of this mystery turns out to be completely mundane (aside from how inhumanly elongated the killer's limbs got): the building's manager, who simply died getting stuck in the vents of the apartment while perving on the tenants... at least in Timeline A.

Say yes and they'll unmask themselves and join you as allies because you're their "master" according to some prophecy. Surprisingly, if you say no, they apologize for bothering you. | |

One Curse Limit: You wish. Heck, there's even an achievement for having five curses at the same time. Injuries also stack, which can get out of hand if the player has the Medical History background. | |

Gameplay and Story Integration: If you decide to burn down the School in "Macabre Memoir of Morbid Mermaids", you can no longer visit any School sub-locations for the rest of the run, but it's established that classes continue in an older wing of the building. Should you choose "Spine-Chilling Story of School Scissors" as one of your mysteries afterwards, you get to explore the charred remains of the School, and even face a unique variant of the boss as a result. | |

Brain Bleach: The Memory Extract spell restores a small amount of Reason in exchange for sacrificing EXP, expunging traumatic memories from the user's mind. Most spells can be forgotten to restore one point of Reason. | |

Guns Are Worthless | |
| World of Horror (Video Game) / int_eb4ee9eb | comment |
Guns Are Worthless: Zigzagged; they are among the best weapons in the game due to high damage and low action cost...if they have bullets, which are hard to find and you aren't always guaranteed to get them with the gun. Running out in the middle of the fight just means you have to beat your enemy to death with the empty gun as you can't switch weapons mid-fight which isn't exactly the best melee weapon. Haru's CQC ability buffs gun damage so that they aren't inferior to normal weapons, while Moriko's Deft Handling reduces the time consumed by gun attacks. Completely averted with enemies, as Cultist Hunter B wields a hunting rifle, and deals a lot of damage with it. The Lumpy Officer, meanwhile, may randomly decide to shoot you with his revolver, which is just as damaging, if not more. | |

Big Damn Heroes: At the end of "Far-out Fable of a Fear Festival", in Ending A, you get captured by cultists and are being prepared as a sacrifice for the being they are summoning, only for an undercover agent to shoot one of the cultists and bust the scene, rescuing you. This is one of the few times Adults Are Useless is Averted and the adults save the day, with the professionals immediately taking down the bad guys in one move! | |

Cultural Cross-Reference | |
| World of Horror (Video Game) / int_edb737b2 | comment |
Cultural Cross-Reference: The game runs on this. It's an emulation of PC-88 adventure games with 1-bit/2-bit graphics, combining that with the manga art-style seen in some others, and is stuffed with Japanese cultural references that, although not always perfect, are frequent and sometimes to very obscure material. It even has some use of bad romanization/translation for jokes that is actually consistent with common Japanese issues with letter-swapping, even beyond the well-known L/R. | |

You must rescue as many researchers as possible before the water levels get too high, and it's entirely possible you won't have time to find them all. | |

Smoking Is Not Cool: While being on a Nicotine Rush speeds up your combat actions, Withdrawal slows you down, and thanks to your character being addicted, they'll burn through their smokes very quickly. The Cigarettes' description also simply states that 'smoking kills'. | |

And that's not even getting into how you can force some of them to accompany you by taking them hostage, or enact rituals that let you benefit from their deaths... | |

Hopeless Boss Fight | |
| World of Horror (Video Game) / int_fc07d409 | comment |
Hopeless Boss Fight: If you manage to fulfill the requirements for the additional endings of "Horrible History of Household Hell", you are faced with a boss where you can do absolutely nothing to hurt it. Your only options are to run or sacrifice one of your companions to sate its hunger. Should you be unfortunate to encounter Something Truly Evil, you find yourself in one of these - you simply can't run from it or damage it in any way. Your only option is to harm yourself in various ways and hope that your suffering amuses it enough to make it let you go. | |

Beauty Is Never Tarnished: Downplayed. Injuries, curses, and lowering stats are reflected upon your character's portrait, and several of these can have an impact upon their stats. Some of these can be cured, and doing so usually restores your appearance accordingly, but others are effectively permanent. | |
