Spooky Pixel Hero: A Retro Horror Platformer from the Makers of DERE Vengeance

Appsir, the creators of the critically acclaimed horror game DERE Vengeance, are back with a new mobile title: Spooky Pixel Hero. This meta-horror platformer plunges players into a chilling 1976 retro game where appearances deceive.

In Spooky Pixel Hero, you take on the role of a game developer tasked by a mysterious agency with debugging a lost platformer from 1976. Prepare for a challenging experience with over 120 levels of hardcore platforming, all while unraveling a narrative that transcends the game itself, hinting at sinister consequences.

The game's retro pixel art style, while not historically accurate, effectively creates a disturbingly compelling atmosphere, reminiscent of Airdorf games' Faith.
