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 platformer, set in 1976, promises a sinister twist on classic gaming.

Players take on the role of a game developer debugging a lost platformer for a mysterious agency. Prepare for over 120 levels of challenging platforming, interwoven with a narrative that blurs the lines between the game world and reality, hinting at unsettling consequences.

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