A fantastic story and presentation makes The World Next Door worth taking a peek at. I just wish the gameplay could hold up as well as those aspects.
"The World Next Door" is a game that combines visual novel elements with lightning-fast puzzle battles, inspired by anime and indie gaming. Players follow Jun, a rebellious teen who finds herself in the magical world of Emrys, and must rely on new friends to return to Earth before time runs out. The game was nominated for several awards and features anime-inspired character designs by Lord Gris.
