The World Next Door

The World Next Door has fairly stereotypical characters, but it delivers some enjoyably frantic puzzle battles in the second half of its campaign.

With gorgeous visuals and fun combat, The World Next Door holds plenty of promise, but it never evolves into something satisfying

The World Next Door is not a title that's going to rock anyone's world, but it's a good title that would be worth checking out for someone wanting something a little different.

I would say I liked this game, it was a fun few hours of my time spent on a little adventure puzzle game. I would recommend this to someone that has a few hours spare, or wants something they can pick up for a few minutes at a time. Either way, I hope you’ll enjoy it as much as I did if you do.

The World Next Door is a fun and entertaining adventure through a magical realm. The only downside is that it’s just too short, leaving players wanting more.

Ultimately, while The World Next Door is quite short, it ended up being such a lovely game to me. This game is kept rather light-hearted, and while there are choices implemented, they won’t make a big impact on the story. Although this might turn some people off, I still liked the way the choices were presented as I felt like I was actually able to form Jun’s personality. The relationships between the characters and its storytelling are definitely the main aspect of the game and I found The World Next Door is a quite relaxing and uncomplicated game with beautiful art and a unique battle system.

The World Next Door is a short game with excellent design, interesting gameplay choices, and questionable narrative decisions. But it never outstays its welcome, and has a great price

The World Next Door is an ambitious action-puzzle game with some interesting narrative and RPG elements, but unfortunately wears itself thin trying too much with too little.

At the end of the day, The World Next Door is still an incredibly unique title. Mixing fast paced battles with wonderful characters and a rather curious story, it’s a standout indie game you should be giving a look. I clocked in six hours when I culminated my playthrough. No doubt you’ll get your money’s worth in multiple runs at the base price of $14.99. A congratulations to the developer on the launch and may they learn from this to make even better games.

If there’s any other significant complaint to levy against The World Next Door, it would be that it’s so short.
