I didn't expect to functionally "finish" World of Horror as fast as I did - The modular rogue-lite experience is something that's fairly cool and the visually stimulating presentation makes it worth playing, but I can't help but wonder if a single, hand-crafted experience wouldn't be strictly more engaging.

Some of the mysteries aren't the most interesting, and grasping all of the mechanics and UI on the initial playthrough isn't the easiest thing in the world - After the initial playthrough, immediately starting a new run isn't the most exciting prospect once you know you may have to replay some of the same mysteries.

Probably worth checking out on the prospect of being inspired by Junji Ito alone if you're a fan of those works, but I still enjoyed it enough without any prior experience with the mangaka.
