This is just a quick heads-up to let you know that after being in Early Access since 2019, World of Horror has finally hit version 1.0 on PC. It’s also 25% on Steam, which is nice.
Alongside this news, it was confirmed that the game had finally made its way over to PS4 and PS5, as well as Nintendo Switch (on the latter there’s even a retail edition).
The 1.0 release version, which landed on October 19, brought with it a number of additions. More specifically, we got “three new mysteries and two playable characters not yet seen in the Early Access builds.”
Thus, if you’ve played the game already in Early Access, now is the perfect time to return.
