✦ AI summary

WORLD OF HORROR has a striking visual style and atmospheric presentation with compelling audio and graphics that players consistently praise, but the gameplay systems underneath are considered shallow and underwhelming, with progression feeling artificially gated and content more limited than initially apparent. Players appreciate the unique premise and aesthetic appeal, though they express frustration with the lack of meaningful depth and broken developer promises for substantial updates.

This is actually sad, there is a really cool premise and some interesting ideas. All he(dev) does is plagiarize successful works and doesn't care enough to deliver. The game is setup in a way that you cannot progress early on and just force ends your runs, so you are given a deceptive feeling of there being more than there actually is. But as someone went through most of the scenarios, its not. All the systems in place are skin deep and as well thought-out as a wet fart. It was made to sell as many copies as they could advertise and nothing more. It was fine though as the dev promised updates and said it would continue expanding. But ofcourse its all lies and he is your average scammy Di&$%&%. And this Sc&#&@g just comes up and says there will be a huge update and i was like "finally the redemption and realization of the game". But my dear player it was all another big scam so this unscrupulous Di%$#*t could sell some Dog$#!# Boardgame through Youtuber advertisement and steam announcement. Massive disappointment, since i always wanted a horror game with some of these ideas. This game is good for anyone who plays games superficially and cant engage with it fully or don't. It is go…

Very pretty but kinda shallow for what kind of game it is. There's plenty of other reviews going deeper into this, I'm just adding my voice to the choir.
