## Trivia

* The name of Aka Manto is the same as that of the Japanese urban legend of the "Red Cloaks". Red Cloaks will ask their victims whether they want blue paper or red paper. When people choose red paper, they will be cut into corpses and soaked in their own blood; when they choose blue paper, they will be strangled until the blood is drained.

Cat's Curiosity

Pancakes

"smells fantastic"

Pancakes are a sweet, dessert food item.

They don't carry negative penalties, decreasing 2% of Doom whilst healing +2 Stamina, all for the cheap cost of just 1 FUND, making them arguably one of the best food items in the game.

However, the DOOM penalty is rendered moot by the fact that entering the Shop that sells it costs 4% DOOM.

* Can be randomly obtained via Cook Book.
Mayhem

Mayhem gives a bonus to all stats depending on DOOM percentage.

(-2 REASON)
Necronomicon

> *The NECRONOMICON you've stolen contains powerful spells and horrible secrets. To activate its power, retrieve more pages when you level up.*
>
>

## Necronomicon

'The cult can't get this cursed book back!'

### Type

Spell book (exclusive)

The **Necronomicon** is a spellbook exclusive to the player character Toshiaki Wakamatsu in the game World of Horror. It is part of Toshiaki's backstory, having been stolen by him just before fleeing the cult in the events leading up to playthrough.

In the beginning of a playthrough, the Necronomicon contains a single page with one spell, Aura of Azal-Hoth. Up to five more pages can be acquired as character-exclusive perk cards during the level-up screen.

As a special item it can not be interacted with via the usual menu when selecting it from the inventory. Therefore it cannot be discarded, stored, sold or equipped. Accessing the Necronomicon from the inventory shows the player all pages collected up to this point.

## Spells

* Aura of Azal-Hoth

* Krootky's Kill

* F'Thoth Flash

* Shebbe's Surge

* Rage of Ragh-Zull

* Cure of Cthur-Izto

## Trivia

* The Necronomicon is an artifact from the Cthulhu Mythos by H.P. Lovecraft. It is a spellbook originating from the Arabic region, containing information from the Great Old Ones. The name is a portmanteau of three Greek words "nekros," "nomos," and "eikon" — respectively "dead," "law," and "likeness"; though grammatically incorrect, Lovecraft intended this to mean "an image of the law of the dead".
* The feature of adding new pages to the Necronomicon is possibly inspired by the film *Evil Dead 2*. In the film, missing pages of the Necronomicon are a key plot element, containing a spell to reverse the effects of reading passages from the Necronomicon. This theory is further supported by World of Horror's other references to the film.

## Notes

* Despite not having a stated Book trait, Book Strap adjusts combat speed if Necronomicon is in inventory.

## Bugs

* While it is not normally possible to store this item, if you save and then load a game it will be placed in storage along with all your other items.
Library

*You feel the gaze of a librarian...*

**Library** is a sub-location located within School

## Available Choices

*Many of the books you can find here were donated after the accident at the university building.*

Once you enter the Library, you have two options:

* 'study old tomes': This gives you a random Spell at the cost of +3% Doom
* 'make notes': This increases your EXP by 5 at the cost of +2% Doom.

You cannot leave the Library without choosing either of the above options.

After you learn a spell/get EXP, you will have further options to either **exit library**, which brings you back to the main Investigation screen, or **go back** to get back to main Library screen for another round of making notes/learning spells.

* Every time you do sequence of 5 claps and bows game will give you a tip of how many actions was correct
* When you find the right ritual **it will be the same the whole run**. *Remember or write it down*
* Ghost will act in the round you did the correct Ritual sequence. So it might bite you one last time
* Correct solving could take you from 1 to 5 turns. With an average of 3-4 turns.
* Performing a successful ritual grants you 15 EXP, on top of EXP gained from defeating the Ghost.
* When visiting the Rooftop the girl tells you the first two actions.

You don’t like its look

*"You should get rid of it"*

It can be bought at the Occult Shop for 3 FNDs afterwards.
Badly Bleeding

**Badly Bleeding** is a Minor Injury in *World of Horror*.

## Effect

Badly Bleeding will randomly (20% chance) take away 1 Stamina each time the player investigates a Location.

## Tips

* Badly Bleeding is a very brutal Status which rapidly drains from the player's Stamina, and is especially dangerous during Mysteries that restrict one's use of the map. Its highly recommended to get it fixed as soon as possible, as the cost of restoring the lost Stamina is much more costly than the 1 Fund for treating it at the Hospital.
