Empty Corridor (or is it?)

**Empty Corridor (or is it?)** is a special School event in *World of Horror.* It is the second part of the Blue Gem riddle, only able to be investigated while having a Blue Gem in the inventory, and after Lighthouse Rumor has been investigated.

Otherworld

The Otherworld is a special location in *World of Horror*.

## Description

   Existing in an otherworldly location, the Otherworld is a vast and varied environment, filled with locations and objects that cannot be found within the normal world. Though it is not normally visited by normal humans, the Otherworld can be seen in glimpses of what would happen, such as having encounters with powerful Eldritch creatures. Being in the Otherworld is also inadvisable to players as the harsh and alien environment can punish the players, whether they are ready or not.

The Otherworld, as of the date, contains three different locations that are centered in three different events.

## Access

Due to the Otherworld exist in a different dimension and universe, it cannot be visited by traditional means. Instead, players can visit the Otherworld through the following methods:

* Entering the shattered rip in reality in the Village event Illusion Shattered
* Enter the door in the School event Half Open
* Failed results in fighting against the light or getting lost to it in the Mansion event Tower Window
* Being consumed by the Dimensional Voyeur in the Crumbling Reality event, an exclusive event only shown if the old god chosen is Ktu-Rufu.
* Casting the spell Void in a middle of an event

## Effects

Being in the Otherworld has adverse effects toward the player and will have a deduction of 3 points in all stat attributes.

## Events

The following events will happen as soon as the player explores the Otherworld:

* Bleeding Desert
* Boreal Expanse
* Upper Kingdom

## Trivia

* 'Otherworlds' are in fact not the same terminology used in traditional H.P. Lovecraft Horror stories, as they were originally called the 'Outer-planes', Outer-dimensions, or Outer-realms that the Old Ones(Old Gods) exist or once existed in. These locations however have more symbolism and can be very vivid in the form of visions or nightmares...Such as 'The Light', 'White Forest', or 'Glass Razor Glade' (Or the Boreal Expanse), which was a steep inclined mountain covered in razor sharp glass grass and the climber had to survive a blizzard to face the next challenge.
* In World of Horror, the Otherworlds follow the source material almost exactly to the letter and included these to also be possibly Parallel Universes, alternate timelines, and even pasts/futures that failed to repel the occult threat or the Old Ones...Although the names of the original Otherworlds were likely changed for the games' sake.
* Besides that, the 'Otherworlds' paths were, and still possibly are connected the Old Ones and serve as the trials involved being stepping stones for anyone that seeks power from them. Most do not survive past the first trial.
Computer Room

Computer Room is a School event you can encounter in *World of Horror*.

## Description

*"You stumble upon the computer room. Now is a good opportunity to look up the school database in search of anything that might help you in your investigation."*

## Available Choices

* 'check it out' (Knowledge check)
	+ [Success] *"You find a curious text file containing occult instructions. You delete it, preventing anyone from trying it."* (-2% DOOM)
	+ [Failure] *"You find a curious folder containing photos. With rising horror you discover that you're in every one of them. The last photo shows a smiling man standing over your bed."* (-2 REASON)
* 'leave it for later'
	+ *"You can't waste time in front of the computer."* (-2 STAMINA)
Champagne

"good year."

The **Champagne** is a bottle of carbonated alcohol.

It restores 1 Reason per each ally you have, and unlike Wine Bottle, it does not cause hangover.

Upon use, it becomes an Empty Bottle.

## Acquisition

* It can be bought at Illegal Den for 3 FNDs.
* Can be randomly obtained via Cook Book

## Bugs

Champagne (as of 0.9.17h1) has a broken 'trade in' button; it is fully black, rendering it invisible on the interface, but you can still click it and sell Champagne for +1 FNDs.
Broken Bottle

a glass tulip

**Broken Bottle** is a weapon in World of Horror.

Essentially the broken version of the Bottle, the Broken Bottle is a relatively weak one-handed melee weapon in the game, with miniscule 3 Damage and low speed, and mediocre base hit chance.

One good thing about the Broken Bottle is that it can be found technically *anywhere*, making this a decent backup weapon just in case.

## Acquisition

* Select "LOOK FOR AN IMPROVISED WEAPON" during combat under support actions.
Brick

The **Brick** is a weapon in World of Horror that can be unlocked by completing the Cold Turkey challenge. *See Achievements.* Although it is a pretty fast weapon, its low damage and hit chance makes it a situational weapon at best.

Ironically enough, its throw damage is significantly higher than its base damage. Combine this with its theoretical limitless amount of bricks a player can carry due to its RNG nature, and the Brick would make for a better *thrown* weapon than a close-combat one.

## Acquisition

When visting the Vending Machine (Location) there is a chance for your character to pick up a Brick, there is no limit on the number of Bricks that can be acquired this way.
Lumpy Officer

"'hhh-aNds uP, cci-iti-zen!'"

### Assess Text

It is said, that if you try to call an emergency number at 4:44 it will instead connect you with hell.

*Following a weird gargling sound, you enter an alley. Standing in the shadow you notice a person wearing policeman's uniform.*

*"m-moVe al-along-g-g cci-iti-zen. nnnoOthiNgg tt-to see-e hErRrre.."*

*You've made a horrible mistake...*

**Lumpy Officer** is an Enemy encounter in *World of Horror*.

## Description

Lumpy Officer is a creature resembling a police officer at first. However, his entire head is nothing more than a cancerous, tumorous mass of flesh. There are two holes on the bottom of his cheeks, possible a form of respiration. He is a dangerous enemy as he wields a Police Revolver.

## Location

Lumpy Officer can be encountered while investigating the Village.

## Combat

The Lumpy Officer is one of the few enemies that possesses a telegraphed attack, marked by the Officer reaching for his gun after an attempted turn, and firing on his next action.

### Combat Log

* *"LUMPY OFFICER punches you"*
* *"LUMPY OFFICER tries to grab you"*
* *"'hhh-aNds uP, cci-iti-zen!'"* (Said occasionally after a turn)
* *"LUMPY OFFICER reaches for his gun"* (Telegraph)
* *"LUMPY OFFICER raises his service revoler*(sic) *and aims..." "You are shot!"* (Deals double damage)

## Tips

* Unlike other enemies with telegraphed attacks, the Lumpy Officer does not add any additional Status Effects, meaning that he essentially gets off a second turn of damage with a successful hit. However, performing a Brace will mostly nullify the doubled damage. While underwhelming at first, he can deal huge amounts of damage later in a run, especially on the Harbinger of Doom difficulty.
Brigade Arc

The **Brigade Arc** is the final arc of the **Archseraph Saga** story, before the Holy Kingdom Saga (TBD release date). This arc focuses on a myriad of characters achieving their goals, and the taking down of the Council of the Ancient Kingdoms, another group of gods who seek to rain tyranny on the seas. As always, new characters appear this arc, and Chritoad, one of the four ancient gods makes an appearance in this arc, if only by a little bit.
This arc is also known to be the most long, as in IRL date it ranges from April to June 2022 where other arcs only take a month. (Aside the inactive timeskip)

## Story

After the previous arc where major things happened, Toad finds a stone that allows him to go to another continent. The others question this, before now going with him as Rafael and Harper trained beforehand, obtaining their enhanced true magic forms which allow them to sever entire solar systems in half at full power, but at the cost of their lifeforce. Toad questions why they doubted him before, saying that they didn't believe it was real. They go to another continent, where they see where Emperor Night rules supreme as a powerful leader in this continent and the whole world alongside the Angel Queens. There they hear of a very bad situation that happened called the Axiom situation.

Harper explains that this continent is affected most by it as the high Admin Council, which consists of the good gods, Valencia, leader of the sea police and her admirals, the ancient gods of reality themselves, maidens and important queens from all over, Kan-sama (An absolute) and the other absolute subordinates. She explains that the council is led by Archeia and Sariel, and the Absolutes as it is a joint between both universes. Toad, and Rafael, both look to her surprised. But she explains that the situation is already happened, and Sariel has defeated Axiom and absorbed her of everything, even her body for murdering Toneri because Toneri was holding an operative hostage. After this happened, these new heroes introduce themselves.

*Who the heck are you?* Toad asks, and then they introduce themselves as the Brigade, working under one of the Angel Queens of the Continents and the Admin Council, which they explain also has Hiachi and the archseraph cast along with Multiversal representatives. Overwhelmed, Rafael shuts them up and asks what they are doing. They explain that rifts had been opened, and that they need help, and being the stupid person, always getting his head into business, Toad agrees although the two are cynical. The brigade themselves are Brittany C, Maestra, Hikaari (boyfriend of one of the angel queens), Bea (Who appears as a normal human but in actuality is a hybrid), and Neko (Who is a son of the Emperor Rai, one of the ancient world nobles) who want to help out people.

While Toad respects that, they hopefully want to fix the situation and as of Chapter 660 (Currently, at 4/14/22), they are helping them with smaller errands while the Admin council meets about another universal conflict.
Cigarette Case

grandpa's

Cigarette Case is personal Preparation item of Haru.

When in inventory, it has a 15% chance to add 1 Cigarette to your Cigarette counter on top bar of game UI after you investigate a location, but before the game starts an Event or Combat encounter.

If this effect triggers, the message 'You smoke an old cigarette from your CIGARETTE CASE...' will be added to the message log at the bottom of game UI.

## Synergy

Haru's starting perk, Hard-Knock, runs on Cigarettes (the counter). Cigarettes (the item) and its foreign variant are pretty costly and depend on your access to Shop, Vending Machines or Illegal Den, so the Case only helps Haru in the long run.
Burn

## Acquisition

* Can be caused by setting the school building on fire at the end of Macabre Memoir of Morbid Mermaids (Ending C).
* One of Tatoru's attacks.
* Burning Man's telegraphed attack.
* Rioter's telegraphed attack.
* Can be randomly inflicted by Medical History (Background).

## Notes

The additional combat damage is visible on enemy's combat damage indicator.

## Bugs

As of 0.9.9b, the status does not affect the appearance of Mizuki's character portrait when she's afflicted with it.

## Trivia

* The Extras menu is currently bugged to show **Lighthouse Rumor** as being both Event #40 and Event #50, when the latter slot actually contains **Mortuary Blues**.
* The Extended B card pack event **Bloody Sweater** is the only way to unlock **Moriko Ishii**, which means the player needs to complete at least 4 playthroughs (on any difficulty) to be able to unlock her.
Deja Vu

Deja Vu is a Haru event you can encounter in *World of Horror*. It is only exclusive to Haru.

## Description

*"On the other side of the dark hallway, you realise this isn't the same mansion you were in. It's a familiar one, with your car outside, blood dripping down the walls, and \*something\* hurtling towards you. This has got to be a bad joke to put you back here...!"*

## Available Choices

	+ '[you won't be weak anymore] You're not running away again. You're not going to \*let\* yourself run away again. Not anymore. Not again. Never, never again. For the sake of everyone you left to die... You're going to stand and fight, like you always should've...!! ' (This causes a battle with White Death)

## Description

*"On your way to the next destination, you stop the tall man weraing a dirty Kabuki mask. He is talking to a woman and slowly reaching into his pocket..."*

("*Stop*" is probably a typo and should most likely read "*spot*".)

## Available Choices

* 'alert the woman'
	+ *"You decide to act quickly and run between the pair, screaming. The panicked woman flees but the masked man grabs you by your neck. Before you can protest, he takes a pair of pliers out of his pocket and rips off one of your nails."* (why? /-1 STAMINA)
* 'run before he notices you'

* Maru, Marked by the Scissor Lady drops Straight Razor.

Raining Blood

Raining Blood is an Apartments event you can encounter in *World of Horror*.

## Description

*"A woman jumps out of her apartment covered in gore. Between sobs, she tries to explain what happened.*

The medallion shakes a bit, as if happy with the anguish it caused you." (- 1 STAMINA/ -5% DOOM) (STATUS?: Coughing Blood)*

## See also

* Events
* Ayaka Kuroi

Haru begins all games with this status.
Check Book

family's fortune

Check Book is personal Preparation item of Juri Okusawa.

Using it gives you +5 Funds at the cost of +3% Doom. It can be used repeatedly.

## Synergy

The Check Book can be used with any character. However, because of the fact that Preparing for the Check Book gives you +5% Doom, and usage gives you +3% Doom, this will translate into ***+16% HORROR*** meter. It's usage is not advised when playing as Juri.

## Log

* *You've used your CHECK BOOK.* (on use)

## Notes

While not displayed in its description the Check Book has a secret illicit tag meaning you can't sell it unless you have the Yakuza Card perk, if you do possess said perk you can sell the Check Book for 1 fund.
Discharge Summary

Discharge Summary is a Treatment in *World of Horror*.

## Acquisition

Like all Treatments, Discharge Summary is acquired after healing an Injury at the Doctor's Office in the Hospital.

Also, starting the game with Medical History (Background) gives you a Discharge Summary at the very beginning.

Ashen Contract

**Ashen Contract** is a Spell in *World of Horror* that can be unlocked by having the Paranoia Curse and choosing the "KILL" option on an Ally's card. *See Achievements.*

Ashen Contract is a *very* powerful spell that immediately kills any non-eldritch enemy. As such, it should be reserve for either really tough non-eldritch enemies or as a last resort. Like some spells, it is a one time use only and it costs 7% DOOM, so you must have a low DOOM percentile to make this applicable and affordable.

## Acquisition

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

## Trivia

* This spell may come from a literal page of a spell book.

Eldritch Amulet

'looks really old'

This useful magical amulet increases your current Reason by +10 when worn, but it does not increase your Reason over its cap, and when removed will drop your Reason back down by 10 immediately. As such, it should only be used in emergencies when you are about to lose because of sanity loss, as equipping it too early will waste its benefits, and unequipping it when your Reason is low can lead to a game over from Reason loss.

## Acquisition

You can only earn this item through events, such as Moving Company.
Blood Drive

Blood Drive is a Hospital event you can encounter in *World of Horror*.

* Currently (version 0.9.84), bringing the statuette back home has zero consequences, making it an entirely safe option.

## Gallery

Dream Eater

*"You discover a giant plush toy half-buried in a ditch. Feeling uneasy, you take a step back but it's already too late..."*

Dream Eater is an Enemy encounter in *World of Horror.*

Dream Eater is not unlocked by default. To unlock it, players must win four playthroughs and unlock the Extended B card pack.

## Enemy Actions

* *"Join the voices..."*
* *"Why should you resist?..."*

## Bugs

* The Dream Devourer has the Monster enemy type icon but its inspected type is listed as Eldritch instead.

## Trivia

Experimental Drug

***"You \_really\_ don't like needles... Is it really safe?"***

Experimental Drug is a medical consumable item that is only unlocked after acquiring the World Doomed II achievement.

The direct opposite to the Pain Medication when it comes to stats. An extremely useful way to recover Reason, as outside the start of the game, you will rarely have Stamina at/near maximum, making the penalty meaningless. It is rather costly to acquire, however.
Drowner Sponge

IT NEEDS ANOTHER BODY NOW

*Getting closer, you realize it's not a rock...*

**Drowner Sponge** is an Enemy encounter in *World of Horror*.
