Appsir, the creative minds behind the chillingly excellent DERE Vengeance, have once again captivated us with their latest offering, Spooky Pixel Hero. This upcoming mobile game promises a thrilling dive into meta-horror, wrapped in the guise of a retro platformer from 1976.

As you navigate through over 120 levels of intense platforming, you'll uncover a narrative that transcends the game itself, hinting at darker implications lurking beneath your seemingly routine task.

While Spooky Pixel Hero evokes memories of other games, its eerie atmosphere and narrative style particularly resonate with the unsettling vibes of Airdorf Games' Faith.
