Explore a haunted Atari-style game in Spooky Pixel Hero, the follow-up to DERE Vengeance by Appsir

Appsir, the developer behind the chillingly memorable DERE Vengeance, is back with another thrilling title: Spooky Pixel Hero. This upcoming mobile game promises to immerse players in a sinister retro experience, drawing from a mysterious 1976 platformer.

In Spooky Pixel Hero, you step into the shoes of a game developer hired by a shadowy agency to debug this lost gem. The game challenges you with over 120 levels of intense platforming, while weaving a meta-horror narrative that suggests your debugging mission might have darker implications than you initially thought.

While Spooky Pixel Hero evokes memories of other games, its eerie atmosphere and narrative style particularly remind us of Faith by Airdorf Games. The pseudo-retro pixel art not only crafts a dense, unsettling world but also maintains a level of abstraction that keeps players on edge.
