WORLD OF HORROR ‘AS BELOW SO ABOVE’ update now available for PC, launches in 2027 for PS4 and Switch

Here is an overview of the update, via Ysbryd Games:

“AS BELOW SO ABOVE” makes WORLD OF HORROR 20 percent bigger, adding new events, enemies, mysteries, characters, items, spells, curses, and injuries, along with a large batch of quality-of-life features and bug fixes.

Two never-before-seen manifestations of the Old Gods raise the stakes: IKT-YOSIS, THE FIRST NIGHTMARE, sleeps in a gargantuan chamber beneath the mountains. With each ritual performed to wake him, the world above slowly reshapes itself and brings strange weather with it.

THE WAR FOR SHIOKAWA adds an extra level of terror, with four cults summoning their eldritch masters simultaneously to plunge the town into pure evil.

Three new playable characters join the fight, including KIRIKO, a mysterious tarotist whose cards decide SHIOKAWA’s fate, and SATOSHI, a young hiker who knows the mountains around the town like no other.

The new Scenario Mode adds self-contained stories set before the main game, expanding WORLD OF HORROR’s lore and tying different mysteries together. The FOREST OF FEAR / TAPES OF TRAGEDY scenario introduces MAKOTO, an overachiever member of the school AV club who decides to film a documentary about the forest’s oldest legend.

The new update also gives modders more to work with on Steam Workshop, where they can create enemies, events, and mysteries, with more ways to customize them.
