Paranoia

'*shattered nerves'*

**Paranoia ( 瘋癲 )** is a mental Curse in World of Horror.

## Additional Effects

* Having Paranoia will disable "LET GO" option from allies screen. Instead, another option called "KILL" will appear.
	+ Allies that grant bonuses after being let go will not grant their bonuses when they are killed. This affects 'Parting Gift' perk, YOICHI, ASATO and others.
	+ After killing an ally, "You kill [AllyName] for plotting against you!" will be written on the log. This will reward you with +1 Reason.
	+ Killing allies this way triggers the effect of K'Npha Ritual.
* Paranoia has stacking effects if multiple copies of it are possessed. One copy gives 25% chance of losing 1 reason when taking stamina damage, 2 copies gives 100% chance of losing 1 reason and 3 copies gives 100% chance of losing 2 reason.

## Events

The Paranoia curse enables additional options in the following events:

## Uses

* Can be used to turn the Chainsaw (No Fuel) into the Chainsaw.

## Acquisition

* Bought from Hardware Store for 3 Funds.

Pocket Knife

your last resort

*It may be useful when something grabs you...*

Pocket Knife is a consumable item in World of Horror. Before it becomes available, it must be unlocked via the Wait for It achievement.

## Acquisition

Pocket Knife can be bought at the Hardware Store in the Seaside location, or obtained from the event A Few Questions.

* *Even with a pocket knife, you won't be able to escape!* (on attempted use, against an enemy that can't be escaped from)

## Notes

Besides escaping from combat with no DOOM penalty, this consumable also has the effect of reducing DOOM by 4% when you use it. This is an intentional mechanic to counter the DOOM penalty you receive when you first buy the Pocket Knife.

## Trivia

* The pocket knife's design appears to feature the logo of Victorinox, the company which manufactures Swiss army knives.
Reading Room

Reading Room is a Mansion event you can encounter in *World of Horror*.

Maru, Marked by the Scissor Lady

### Assess Text

MARU was the bullied girl who tried to summon the Scissor Lady. The entity scarred and marked her to serve it until it's strong enough.

*"On the roof, you find the girl your friend was talking about. In one hand, she holds a bag. In the other, a pair of bloody scissors..."*

**Maru, Marked by the Scissor Lady** is a Special Enemy encounter in *World of Horror.*

## Appearance

Maru is a girl with black long shriveled hair and wearing casual outfit. There is a long gash on her empty eyes and has a Glasgow smile, revealing her molars. There is also a cut on her neck as well. As mentioned in the pre-combat texts, she carries a bag and a pair of bloody scissors, with the latter being used as an offensive weapon in her attacks against the player.

## Story

Maru is a student of the unnamed School in Shiokawa, Japan. Although not much is known about her, she is implied to be mentioned in the chosen character's friend by their Friend's Diary.

At some point prior to the mystery, she decides to attempt the ritual to banish the Scissor Woman but was not heard from again, strongly implying that she has failed to complete the ritual.

If the player encounters Maru, it is revealed that she has been "marked by the Scissor Lady". She now has the Sissor Woman's signature facial wound and has lost her eyes as well. She attacks the player on sight, leading to the player being able to choose to attack back kill her or escape the combat. If Maru is not encountered or if the fight is ran away from, then her fate remains unknown.

## Location

Maru can only be encountered as one of two possible encounters during the third investigation of Spine-Chilling Story of School Scissors, if the event text says that the BLESSED CHALK is located "on the roof".

## Trivia

* Maru is one of the human (or former human) enemies to have a name.
	+ However, she is the only enemy to have her name intact, as all of the enemies with names are only revealed by pre-combat texts.
Library Notes

"forbidden knowledge"

The Library Notes is a book item and consumable.

Something like the Dusty Grimoire, but with less risk involved. The Library Notes grants the player an additional randomized spell in return for -1 or -2 Reason.

Library Notes are one of the few Consumables that can potentially be used multiple times; they have a 20% chance of being consumed on each individual use.

Although the risks are not as severe as the Dusty Grimoire, the Library Notes is still a risk/reward item. Depending on how desperate the player is for Spells, you can instead sell it for +1 Fund.

## Log

* *Inside the notes you find a curious passage...* (on use, if -1 Reason)
* *The forbidden knowledge transcribed on the notes burn your brain...* (on use, if -2 Reason)
* *You can't find anything useful in the notes. You throw them away* (when consumed)

Monkey Wrench

**Monkey Wrench** is a weapon in World of Horror that can be unlocked by clicking on the date in the top left corner of the HUD.

This one-handed melee weapon has very high melee damage of 5, and at 80 speed it is very fast. Unfortunately, its hit chance is abysmally low, one of the worse in the game (only Carpenter Hammer has less) and it has the unfortunate effect of removing 1 Strength when equipped.

Like the Crowbar, it can be used to speed up the process of getting Ending B in Macabre Memoir of Morbid Mermaids.

## Acquisition

After unlocking, the Monkey Wrench can be purchased from the Hardware Store for 3 FUNDS.

## Notes

Equipping the Monkey Wrench reduces your STR by 1. This effect is temporary, and is reverted when the Monkey Wrench is unequipped.
Guide: Ghost Town

```
***This is a Guide Page.***

```

## Introduction

Ghost Town is a Challenge in World of Horror.

Character: Mizuki

Difficulty: True Believer

Background: The Seventh Curse

Condition: All Town actions besides [REST] are disabled.

## Strategy

Ghost Town is one of the most RNG-heavy challenges because it removes town-based options for the player to control RNG through. To minimize the amount of luck needed to complete this mystery, the player can take the following steps (original idea by Webweaver on Youtube):

1. Set the game to Timeline B. Selecting Timeline B in "Quick Play Options" before starting the Challenge will accomplish this.
2. Rerolling mysteries to acquire these mysteries: Festival, Vigil, and/or Sailors. More is better! Also, re-roll sets of multiple difficult boss-required mysteries like Cape or Flood. One of these mysteries is acceptable and can be attempted last.
	1. Vigil grants the player a guaranteed weapon, and thus should be done first (Meat Cleaver).
	2. Festival gives the player a chance to roll for Hermit (-10% Doom and possible combat speed increase through Fame), as well as a rare opportunity to spend FNDs on items like Holy Candle. Timeline B Festival specifically grants the player a Spiral Hood for a relatively small DOOM penalty. Spiral Hood helps to pass Strength + Dex lighthouse checks and makes the Meat Cleaver into a passable weapon. This mystery can be done second.
	3. Sailors in Timeline B gives the player a guaranteed light source (Torch) via the side quest given they save it until they have two disposable items.
3. These mysteries give the player a powerful start. Below are other useful tips for the challenge.

## Other Tips

* Unless you are fortunate enough to roll both Hermit AND a Dog/Attack Dog, you will be taking -2 Reason per mystery. Thus, it may help to prioritize decisions that conserve or restore Reason more heavily than usual.
* Generally, take opportunites to acquire items and spells. Certain items like Cursed Doll can be very combat-useful, while certain spells like Mind Drain or Ghostly Spear can carry a run.
* Don't be afraid to RUN from fights. Also, don't be afraid to REST. Ghost Town's removal of town Shops and other areas means you have more spare DOOM to use.
* One Stamina or Reason-based boss mystery out of the five is OK. It may help to save these for last to increase Meat Cleaver's accuracy as much as possible.
* Spine-Chilling Story of School Scissors can also give the player a guaranteed weapon (Wooden Bat), though it's mostly worse than Meat Cleaver.
* In conclusion, this challenge is very RNG-heavy and frustrating. However, by taking these steps, you can save yourself a lot of gambling and introduce a little more strategy into the run. Good luck!

Quarantine Wing (Event)

Final event in the Curious Case of Contagious Coma Mystery.

"You manage to sneak through the police and reach the quarantine wing, where all the coma patients were brought in.

Complete silence of this place hits you, when you reach one of the beds.

All patients are dead."

(-2 REASON)

Katana

an old sword

The **Katana** is a sharp two-handed Dexterity-based melee weapon.

It is one of the most powerful melee weapons in the game, with the 9 base damage output. However, it is a very slow weapon.

## Acquisition

* Select 'enter the destroyed temple' in the Bleeding Desert, and succeed the Perception check.

## Trivia

* Inspecting the Katana reveals that it has been folded over a million times. This is a reference to a snowclone post on the website 4chan's /tg/ board which claimed katanas should be the most powerful weapon in tabletop roleplaying games because of the craftsmanship of Japanese swordsmiths, who would supposedly fold their steel a million times. In truth, no swordsmith would ever fold steel even close to this many times lest the furnace turn their expensive steel into less durable wrought iron, but this particular katana being an artifact of an Otherworldly civilization might allow it to have been made in such a manner that folding steel over a million times was both possible and beneficial.

"When you wake up, it's already night. Trying to ask about your friend, you are met with weird reactions. As if she never existed...

You rush to the operating theater yourself but are stopped by armed policemen!

Whatever happened, the doctors must've been too late to help..."

Herald of the Shattered Court

**Herald of the Shattered Court**, otherwise simply known as **Herald**, is one of the Old Gods threatening to destroy Shiokawa, Japan. Its summoning ritual involves placing a tuba in the centre of a sigil.

Herald is not unlocked by default. To unlock Herald, one must unlock the "Hail to the King" Achievement, requiring the player to defeat any enemy as Moriko Ishii with a fueled Chainsaw.

## Descriptions

### Old God Selection Screen

*"The Court has begun to organize its next magnificent Ball. Everyone from SHIOKAWA is invited. And everyone will attend, willing or not."*

### Pre-playthough Introduction

*It iSs mYy pleeaSurRe to invvvite evERyoNe tto tHhe mosTt magnnifFicent BALL of yyourR livVves! AnNd thHe laSst onNe.*

## Appearance

Herald is a truly abstract being as its appearance is hard to discern from its limited appearances. Judging by its introductory screen, it is a vaguely humanoid, highly deformed and neckless entity, possessing several blunted spikes on its head and shoulders. Its highly wrinkled face suggests the presence of eyes, but where a nose and mouth should be, Herald instead possesses a tremendous, tubular trunk, with a flared end resembling a trumpet. It holds this trunk aloft with its three-fingered hands. Herald also has similar trunks sprouting from the sides of its head.

Herald is, as its name suggests, always followed in appearance by a tremendous, gleaming city, the titular "Shattered Court".

## Old God's Rule

"COURT'S CALLING: completing a mystery triggers an additional OLD GOD stir status"

## Herald Events

* The Trumpets of Shiokawa
* Cheerleading Routine

## Bad Ending

During any playthrough in which Herald is the Old God threatening to destroy the world, if your DOOM reaches 100%, you will be shown a special bad ending.

*>>What a wonderrful event is was, oh yes. They say that the Nobles have descended to the strreets to SHIOKAWA to pick theirr meals themselves.<<*

*>>Whoeverr wasn't devourred durring the unearrthly feast will join the Shatterred Courrt and trravel - neverr to be seen again.<<*

In the final log entries following this bad ending, the player's cause of death is listed as "Kidnapped by the Court".

It's called HYPNOCIL. It will help you sleep but there are not too many pills left.

*"It's called HYPNOCIL. It will help you sleep but there are not too many pills left."*

For the most part, Prescription Pills are practically identical to the medicine item 'Painkiller', except instead of recovering Stamina they recover Reason.

## Acquisition

Prescription Pills is a Medicine item that is purchasable by default at the Pharmacy in the 'Hospital' location.

## Trivia

* The name HYPNOCIL is a reference to the film *A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: The Dream Warriors*. In the film, the drug suppresses dreams and is used by the characters to prevent the villain, Freddy Krueger, from attacking them whilst they sleep.
Krootky's Kill

**Krootky's Kill** is one of the pages belonging to the Necronomicon, a spellbook exclusive to Toshiaki Wakamatsu. It is acquired as a character exclusive skill card in the level-up screen.

**Effects**

Defeat the current enemy [Cost: 15 Doom].

This works even on enemies you aren't supposed to fight normally, like Oetaru and Nameless Horror but not Something Truly Evil.
Mummified Heart

d-did it move?

**Mummified Heart** is an Item in *World of Horror*.

## Usage

Mummified Heart can be discarded, sold, or stored as most items. However, It can only be used in combat against a Vampire-type enemy, and upon use, the target Vampire-type enemy instantly dies and the Mummified Heart is discarded.

Currently, this is the only Item that can inflict an instant kill against a specific enemy type (Vampires): Stalker Girl, Bloodsucker, Pillar Vampire and White Death.

## Strategy

Vampires in the World of Horror are represented by an icon showing a set of fangs, and are not a very common enemy type. Vampires are also the only enemy type that has a life-steal effect on certain attacks (restoring 1 point of the Vampire's health), which early game characters without a weapon or an improvised weapon might find difficult to deal with.

## Log

* *You stab the MUMMIFIED HEART with an iron nail.* (on use)
* *This item targets VAMPIRE enemies only.* (on attempted use, without a Vampire to target)

## Trivia

* The item is a reference to the fact that one of the few ways to kill a Vampire is driving a stake through its heart.

Jacob's Golonka

Jacob's Golonka is a consumable item.

It restores 1 Stamina and increases Max Stamina by 1 as well, at cost of +2% DOOM, making it a decent consumable.

## Acquisition

Unfortunately, Jacob's Golonka can be only randomly obtained via Cook Book, which itself is available only to Toshiaki Wakamatsu during his Challenge, Wrong Book.

## Trivia

* Golonka is Polish name for a dish of boiled ham hock, known in German as Eisbein.
* Whether this Golonka is just some Jacob's favorite, or is made from the meat of an unfortunate man named Jacob, is unknown (I hope it's the former).

Research Notes

The pillars are related to the cult of T(...), a fertility goddess. People here refuse to help us with the work and forbid us from researching the village's archives. (...)

The **Research Notes** are an item exclusive to the Freakish Fable of a Frightening Flood mystery. They are acquired by breaking into the school in Kaibara Village for the first time. It shows the locations of the three other members of the research team (Kaori Yuto, Sakina Okada and Hiroki Shinohe). It also supposedly exposes information about T'Cithura & Kaibara's Villagers, which have seemingly been deprecated.
Multiply Wound

**Multiply Wound** is a Spell in *World of Horror*.

Multiply Wound is a very interesting spell that deals damage to an enemy, which increases the lower your stamina is.

This spell has been proven to not be very useful; even when the player character is near death (just above 0 Stamina), Multiply Wound doesn't seem to deal more than 5-6 points of damage.

## Acquisition

Like most spells, Multiply Wound can be obtained from Events, studying at the Library, bought from the History Club and using a Dusty Grimoire and/or Library Notes.
Guitar

HELL YEAH

Guitar is personal Preparation item of Miku.

While its in inventory, resting at Home will grant +1 Reason as well as increase Doom by additional +1%, on top of usual increases from Resting.

This will produce a message in the log: *Your loud guitar practice can be heard in the whole building.*

## Synergy

The increase in DOOM helps get stat bonuses from Miku's Mayhem mechanic a little bit earlier, on top of obvious Reason increase.
In Remembrance

**In Remembrance** is a Kirie event you can encounter in *World of Horror*. It is only exclusive to Kirie Minami.

## Description

*"There's no reason for this memorial to be here. Neither of your parents were from SHIOKAWA. So, why...? Who would do this? Is it just to taunt you for what happened? ...But, even still, all the materials are here to perform a seance...* *"*

## Available Choices

* 'take the materials' (KNOWLEDGE CHECK)
	+ [Success] 'You delicately step around the lines of salt an chalk encircling the memorial, keeping your mind on the present as you gather up the scattered ritual materials. You pat yourself on the back as you leave.' (+ ITEM : Holy Candle)
	+ [Failure] 'You go to pick up a candle, but it seems it wasn't a good idea to disturb the memorial -- a horrible pain shoots through your hand and into the rest of your body! Clutching your fists and whimpering, you retreat...'(+INJURY)
* 'try it one more time'
	+ '[it was never going to work] You just wanted to meet them. To know if they were proud of their daughter. But it was just as horrible an idea this time as it was the last time. Dozens of angry spirits flow through you, as you collapse to the ground, writhing in agony as they punish you for your foolishness. At least you're the only one getting hurt this time.' (- 2 STAMINA/REASON) (+CURSE)

Mask Festival

Mask Festival is a Global Event in World of Horror.

## Description

*"As you glance around, you notice that more and more people are wearing strange masks, unlike anything you've ever seen before. As you turn to your friends for reassurance, you notice that some also wear these eerie masks. Their voices sound muffled and distorted, and you can't shake off the feeling that they're not quite themselves. The hairs on the back of your neck stand on end, and you realize something is terribly wrong."*

## Available Options

* 'they are preparing for something...'
	+ *"A sense of dread creeps over you, as the masked people are swarming through the store, filling their carts with food and survival equipment. You notice the goods' prices have already skyrocketed. You realize you need to act fast if you want to have any chance of survival."* (-2 FUNDS)

* 'this can't be healthy!'
	+ *"What are they protecting themselves against? You take a deep breath and the air around you feels heavy as if it's thick with an invisible poison. You cough, and your eyes begin to water. The world around you is not as safe as you once thought."* (-2 STAMINA)
* 'are they hiding something?'
	+ *"You can't help but wonder what lies behind the masks that conceal the faces of the people around you. Are these even the people they claim to be? Or are they just masquerading as something they're not, hiding their true identities behind the masks that they wear?"* (-2 REASON)

## Notes

* Global events can occur at any location.

Professor Takeuchi is a Village event you can encounter in *World of Horror*.

## Description

*"No one answers when you knock at Professor Takeuchi's door. This is odd, since he's normally punctual about appointments.*

	+ [Success] *"You notice that pages have been ripped from a certain book now discarded under a desk, its importance evident from the bloody hand prints."* (+5 EXP)

* Option 3 draws an Item from 'magical' pool, which includes most of Occult Shop's wares, as well as Human Skull.
* This is a direct reference to the PS2 video game Siren in which Professor Takeuchi is one of the playable characters, and the choice for Occult Signs is a reference to another playable character named Naoko Mihama who is a former idol and actress now working a paranormal investigation tv show.
