World of Horror is a spectacular turn-based rogue-lite 1-bit styled horror game inspired by Junji Ito and H.P. Lovecraft. Highly inventive and very fun, it’s chock full of cool ideas and disturbing imagery. So far my favorite indie game of the year!

Not necessarily the best, but definitely my favorite of the folk horror Unholy Trinity. A hidden gem that would be killer with a remaster.

“Kukeri is an ancient pagan ritual practiced annually across the Balkan mountain regions where local men wear carved wooden masks of beasts’ faces and hang heavy bells around their waists as they perform arcane dances,” says London-based photographer Aron Klein. The Kukeri Project is Aron’s magical and dreamlike series that consists of hypnotic images of large men in carnivalesque costumes, posing menacingly in the wintry Bulgarian mountains.
