Spooky Pixel Hero: A Retro Horror Platformer from Appsir
Appsir, creators of the acclaimed horror game DERE Vengeance, are back with a new mobile title: Spooky Pixel Hero. This meta-horror platformer plunges players into a 1976 retro game world where appearances deceive.
You take on the role of a game developer debugging a lost platformer for a mysterious agency. Prepare for a challenging experience with over 120 levels of hardcore platforming, all while unraveling a disturbing narrative that blurs the lines between the game and reality, hinting at sinister consequences.
The game's retro pixel art style, while perhaps not historically accurate, effectively creates a dense and unsettling atmosphere. The aesthetic evokes a feeling reminiscent of Airdorf Games' Faith, adding to the game's chilling ambiance.
