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 retro, meta-horror experience that harks back to a mysterious 1976 platformer.

As you navigate through more than 120 levels of intense platforming, you'll uncover a narrative that transcends the game's boundaries, hinting at darker implications behind your seemingly straightforward mission.
While Spooky Pixel Hero evokes memories of other games, its eerie atmosphere and meta-horror elements draw distinct parallels to Airdorf Games' Faith. The game's pseudo-retro pixel art strikes a balance between creating a rich, immersive world and maintaining an unsettling abstraction that keeps players on edge.
