Spooky Pixel Hero: A Retro Horror Platformer from Appsir

Appsir, the 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 chilling 1976 retro game world 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 intense platforming action. The narrative transcends the game itself, hinting at sinister consequences beyond your initial assignment.

The game's retro pixel art style, while not strictly historically accurate, effectively creates a disturbingly immersive world. Its unsettling atmosphere evokes a similar feeling to Airdorf Games' Faith, offering a unique blend of cute aesthetics and genuine horror.
