World of Horror (Original Game Soundtrack) (Cassette Tape)
WORLD OF HORROR is a 1-bit roguelite horror RPG inspired by the works of Junji Ito and H.P. Lovecraft. The mystery and terrors of Shiokawa, Japan are fully brought to life by this retro-inspired chiptune soundtrack that is as melodic as it is atmospheric.
"Writing music for a horror game with such a limited chiptune sound palette was a very interesting challenge. It made me consider every part very carefully, resulting in an unusually melodic soundtrack for a horror game", says composer Joseph "Qwesta" Bailey. He and the other musical mind of the game’s soundtrack, Garoslaw, have collaborated with Black Screen Records to bring the WORLD OF HORROR onto cassette tape to really give investigators the feel of 1980's Showa Era Japan. We can't provide the AE86, but we can provide the soundtrack!Â
"The absolute pinnacle of chiptune in my opinion, let alone horror chiptune." – mintmane
"Some of the best music I've heard in a video game. Perfectly suited to the aesthetic and mood." – Fyda
"WOH is one of my favourite video games and Qwesta's soundtrack is one of its major strengths. It deserves so much more love." - Emily Violet
"Sit back and enjoy the hum of your haunted SNES." - sore song
"There is not a single bad track on this album. The Pharmacy theme makes an interesting contrast to the rest of the songs on here. It starts with the moody beep reminiscent of a heart monitor and then shifts to an almost pleasant melody line that recalls Undertale." - Adelaide Lohkamp.
