Spooky Pixel Hero: A Retro Horror Platformer from Appsir

Appsir, the creators of the chilling DERE Vengeance, are back with a new mobile game, Spooky Pixel Hero. This meta-horror title plunges players into a 1976 retro game, where appearances deceive and a seemingly simple task holds sinister implications.

As a game developer debugging a lost platformer for a mysterious agency, you'll navigate over 120 levels of challenging platforming. The narrative transcends the game's boundaries, hinting at unsettling consequences. While reminiscent of Airdorf's Faith in its chilling atmosphere, Spooky Pixel Hero offers a unique blend of retro aesthetics and modern horror elements.

A Spooky Pixelated Adventure

Beyond the intense platforming, the game promises a captivating meta-horror story. The pseudo-retro pixel art style effectively creates a dense and unsettling world, balancing detail with an unsettling abstraction. Fans of Appsir's previous work should anticipate a genuinely frightening experience, despite the seemingly lighthearted title.

Spooky Pixel Hero launches on Google Play and the iOS App Store on August 12th. In the meantime, explore our lists of the best and most anticipated mobile games of 2024 for more gaming options!
