The Horror is a turn based combat set in a world where a mob of horrifying creatures (zombies, skeletons, or whatever you want) have overrun the world and the remaining survivors are just trying to live another day. The game can be played solo or with a group of friends.

The game allows players to create and control a survior trying to make good his escape from the horror infested playing field.

The object of the game can be as simple as getting from side of the playing field to the other alive or as complex as completeing several objectives before being allowed to escape.
