There’s a spiral in your ear
Fangamer has announced that Junji Ito-inspired indie horror gameWorld of Horrorwill geta physical releasefor Switch.
You may rememberWorld of Horroras a game that has been sitting in mydubious backlogfor quite a while now. It launched in early access back in 2020. It bills itself as a love letter to H.P. Lovecraft andUzumakimangaka Junji Ito. It is very “legally distinct” from Junji Ito’s style. Like, this game was developed because no one else was making a Junji Ito game and the developer got tired of waiting, so they made their own. It’s sort of a visual horror RPG.
The physical version being offered by Fangamer is mercifully subdued. I don’t need more giant boxes full of merchandise I don’t use.World of Horrorjust comes with an instruction manual with an art card. It’s set to ship out June 26, 2025, the same day that it comes out of early access and releases on Switch.
I used to buy a lot from Fangamer back in the day, back when they sold “legally distinct” video game merchandise. I still wear T-shirts I bought from them more than ten years ago. Then the Canadian loonie lost parity with the greenback, so I only buy sporadically now. They’ve gone all legitimate with real licensing, though. I’m so proud of them.
You can currently getWorld of Horrorin its Early Access state on PC. It will be releasing fully on PC and Switch on June 12, 2025. That’s the same day that the physical version will release, but you can preorder now.
