An addictive mix of lightning-fast puzzle battles, powerful storytelling and immersive visual novel elements, The World Next Door follows Jun, a rebellious teen girl trapped in a parallel realm inhabited by magical creatures, who must find her way home before time runs out.
The game puts players in the shoes of Jun, a rebellious teen girl who finds herself trapped in the magical world of Emrys. To return home, players must navigate this parallel realm, interacting with a colorful cast of characters and engaging in fast-paced puzzle battles.
The core combat system revolves around a match-3 style mechanic. During battles, players must quickly select and rearrange colored runes on the battlefield to cast different spells, such as fireballs, black holes, and slashing attacks. Simultaneously, players must dodge enemy attacks in real-time, requiring both strategic thinking and quick reflexes.
Outside of combat, players can explore the world of Emrys, complete side quests, and learn more about the game's lore and characters through visual novel-style conversations. These exploration segments provide a nice balance to the intense puzzle battles, allowing players to immerse themselves in the story.
Notably, the developers have included an "Assist Mode" that makes the player invulnerable to damage, catering to those who may struggle with the puzzle combat. This thoughtful accessibility option opens up the experience to a wider audience.
