Each playthrough casts the player as an investigator, confronting a series of supernatural incidents caused by a malevolent deity.
To win, the player must resolve five randomly selected mysteries throughout the town, then face the god in a final confrontation at the lighthouse.
Between mysteries, the player can relax at home to regain attributes.
In each mystery, the player's task is to investigate several locations in a specified order, by heading to a given location and clicking Investigate.
Each investigation advances the given mystery's plot, but also results in a random event.
The random events range from simple creepy events that slightly modify the player's attributes, to combat against enemies; mysteries can also feature pre-determined combats with boss characters.
Combat operates on a turn-based system with time units as the central mechanic.

Enemy attacks reduce the player's Stamina and Reason (the game's two health attributes) and can inflict lasting injuries with special negative effects.
Players can supplement physical attacks with items and spells.
Each run has a time limit, expressed by the Doom counter.
Every investigation raises Doom by 1%, and reaching 100% unleashes the evil god, ending the game immediately.
In most mysteries, the player has free run of the town, and can visit any desired location between investigations.
Special locations, such as the shop or the hospital, allow to obtain items or increase attributes; however, using these services typically increases Doom.
The game features six core attributes: Strength, Dexterity, Perception, Knowledge, and Charisma determine skill check outcomes and combat effectiveness (such as acc
About Nintendo Switch
Released in 2017, the Nintendo Switch became one of the best-selling consoles of all time thanks to its hybrid handheld/docked design. Its cartridge-based physical format (as opposed to discs) has made complete-in-box collecting popular again, with certain limited print runs and Nintendo-published exclusives already commanding a premium on the secondhand market just a few years after release.
Gamevaro tracks World of Horror for Nintendo Switch with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding World of Horror to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This NSW release dates back to 2023.

Rarity & condition
