A Whole New World
It’s crazy how once the clock hits midnight on January 1st, everything becomes brand new. It’s a clean slate. If you played World of Horror before, playing it later in 2023 will be like a brand new experience! Just, uh… wait until the summer when it leaves early access.
That’s right. After being in early access for almost three years, World of Horror will officially be coming out. The last time we covered it was at Halloween in 2020, so it is time to see how much the game has grown. In the waning days of 2022, publisher Ysbryd Games announced that this is the year for this game. It will launch on PC, Nintendo Switch, and PlayStation.
This game has a fairly unique combination of elements at play. It is a horror roguelite that is visually akin to retro pixel art games. As you play each of your runs, you accumulate event cards. These help you unlock new endings and outcomes.
