In This World

In This World is built around short rounds where the rules change each time. The globe spins, lands on a world, and that world sets the rule for the round. One round the lights go out and something walks the streets, and you need to find the fuses before it finds you. Another round a giant face opens its eyes in the sky, and you must not move. In another, one player starts with a 0 over their head and everyone comes for them.

Your aim is to get through each round and see how the story ends for your character. Every world has a twist halfway through, and the game notes that most players do not survive it. The rounds are meant to feel like the videos they are based on, so the game asks you to play the main character in each one.

What sets the game apart is its variety. Because each round follows a different rule, you cannot rely on one strategy. The rules are simple to understand, but each one asks you to act differently, and the twists in each world keep the outcome uncertain.
